Khaira 06-14-05, 08:50 PM	This is a recruitment thread for an adventure that I am planning after the Trial of Khaira is finished. The basic storyline is thus: During the Messianica War, Khaira fought a particularly nasty Captain Savael, a high ranking official in the Army of Messianica. Savael and Khaira had met before, a long time ago, when Savael had betrayed Agudo. Savael, with the help of another mysterious individual, knocked Khaira unconcious and stole her harp. Khaira, after the Trial is over, will be looking to get her harp back. While Khaira hunts down Savael and his lackeys, there will be another individual (who shall remain anonymous for this moment) who is hunting Khaira down, with the intent of killing her. So, essentially, there will a group of heroes chasing down one group of bad guys (Savael and Company), while another group of villains hunt the heroes and, moreso, Khaira. Obviously, there are multiple positions open, for both the heroes and the two groups of villains. There you have it...now who's going to join?
Dandrie Swift 06-14-05, 09:37 PM	I'm Interested. May i play a merc, fights for the highest bidder but neutral to both parties, excellent for intrigue, double dealing, backstabbing, and always on the winning side :D
Lord Tarran 06-15-05, 06:58 PM	I was thinking about playing a new evil dude I recently formulated. He would be of the hunting of Khaira party, a shadow mage (a kinda shadow dancer, sorceror, warlock mix with no specific stats for the class.) Give me a level limit (I'm thinking between 10 and 16) and I'll play it there. No name at the moment.
Khaira 06-15-05, 09:18 PM	May i play a merc, fights for the highest bidder but neutral to both parties, excellent for intrigue, double dealing, backstabbing, and always on the winning side Hmmm...not exactly sure how well a mercenary will fit in with this whole deal, but I think we might be able to make it work. As I said before, there are going to be two villain groups: one is a small group of drow from Menzoberran, led by a Priestess of Lolth, played by Pipers Youth. The second one is going to be a group of outcast/outlaw thug-type people led by Savael (mostly humans, I think?) I think you'd most likely fit into Savael's group myself, though it'd be possible to work you in with Pipers drow party. The only catch there is that you would have to be a drow from Menzoberran. However, I'm leaving it up to you to decide which group you'd like to play in but, ultimately, it's up to the lead villain to decide if that'll fit in with their own group. I was thinking about playing a new evil dude I recently formulated. He would be of the hunting of Khaira party, a shadow mage (a kinda shadow dancer, sorceror, warlock mix with no specific stats for the class.) Give me a level limit (I'm thinking between 10 and 16) and I'll play it there. No name at the moment Since you'd be under Pipers group (who is playing one of the main villain leaders), I'm going to leave it up to him, since I'm not sure how well a character like that would fit into his group of baddies. Regardless, your character would have to be under level 12...probably 10. Furthermore, if you do play in Piper's group, you would have to be a drow from Menzoberran. Furthermore, playing a character in the drow party, you will essentialy by a subordinate of the priestess and, as such, will not have much freedom. You will have to follow the directions of the priestess explicitly since, in drow culture, defiance (or even questioning) of a female priestess (considered top rank in drow society) will likely result in death or some other more horrid fate.
Lolita 06-15-05, 10:09 PM	May I join? I was thinking of trying a new kind of character. Perhaps a young paladin, on the good side of course. :D
Dandrie Swift 06-16-05, 07:04 AM	I'll just pick a side be much easier, besides I think I'll hall out my secret roleplaying weapon, Strect Bluebeard, the dwarf. I guess I'll join the Savael's side, as he is LG Dwarven Defender. I found he is very entertaining to roleplay, and always ready to through a wrench in someone else's work's.
Khaira 06-16-05, 03:54 PM	May I join? I was thinking of trying a new kind of character. Perhaps a young paladin, on the good side of course. You betchie! You will probably, then, be starting out at Agudo's School of Light and Magic (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=44343). You can either get your character going in there right now (it's a pretty open ended thread) or just have your character join Khaira's party (well, I *hope* it's a party; right now it's just Khaira) when this thread starts. Agudo's School, as I said before, is a place where just about any character can get started. The title should be pretty self-explanatory.... I'll just pick a side be much easier, besides I think I'll hall out my secret roleplaying weapon, Strect Bluebeard, the dwarf. I guess I'll join the Savael's side, as he is LG Dwarven Defender. I found he is very entertaining to roleplay, and always ready to through a wrench in someone else's work's. :confused: Eh?? To make sure I understand correctly...you want to have your Lawful Good Dwarven Defender join Savael's group? Clarification Time! As I've previously said, there are three groups - Khaira's Heroes, Savael's "Thugs'', and Pipers Youth's Menzoberran Party. Khaira's Heroes Should be pretty self explanatory - it's the heroes. The "good" guys (and girls!). This is the party that will start out from Agudo's School, with an intent to hunt down Savael and Co. and get back Khaira's harp, while ridding the world of a few evil individuals at the same time. Savael's "Thugs" Also known as Villain #1. This is the first evil group. Savael is going to have numerous lackeys employed for him and, most likely, various leaders desginated at certain points around the world. The majority of these are rough-and-tumble, outcast, shady individuals who are trying to make a quick gold coin. They will, ultimately, be led and instructed by the mastermind himself, Savael. Pipers Youth's Drow Led by a Drow Priestess of Lolth. This is the truly evil, sinister, depraved group; it is also the group that will be hunting the heroes and Savael's group, too, if circumstances arise (aka, they get in the way). This group won't actually see very much action until much later, due to the fact that they will be journeying from Menzoberran to the surface. End Clarification Moment! Now, if I understand correctly, you want your Lawful Good dwarf to join the evil group? Or were you talking about Khaira's Heroes? It doesn't make much sense to me, mind you, if a LG character were to join some evil people. I'm afraid if you want your dwarf to join Savael's group, I'd have to require a change in alignment ... at least to Lawful Neutral. I could see a neutral character being with Savael's group, depending on their morals and perceptions of the world and turn of events, but not a good character. Unless, of course, your dwarf has reasons for being with this group that I do not know about; I have been known to make exceptions.

Malendor... 06-16-05, 06:51 PM	Walking into the OOC thread wearing a red travelers cloak, an man with short red hair takes note of the characters gathered within. He turns his red eyes to glance at each character in turn before coming to rest on Khaira. At first he says nothing, the only movement he makes is a muscle twitch in his right cheek. Then as the muscle spasm passes he simply says in a low voice. "I'm with you Khaira."
Myranthor 06-16-05, 07:22 PM	Doubtlessly, Bonze will also want his place next to the lovely bard, if his ocmpany is welcome. Hilkor will probably want to join one of the two groups of evil characters. You may decide in which group he,ll fit more. Hilkor is a LE paladin of tyranny (see UA), and should be a pal5/templar10 by then.
Dandrie Swift 06-16-05, 08:00 PM	[Khaira's Heroes] Should be pretty self explanatory - it's the heroes. The "good" guys (and girls!).

My mistake, I was talking to someone about this at the time i wrote it and they may have said Savael and well, i typed it out where Khaira should have been. Very Sorry about that. You shouldn't have had to clarify anything, it should have been me.
Arshes 06-17-05, 02:27 AM	[bad german accent] sound vwer intersting...[/bad german accent] of course, arshes himself wont be participating, his second in command, arshes will. and that'll be before adrinth and arshes meet up, so he's going to be plain o'll level 5 gestalt. :D
Khaira 06-17-05, 10:05 AM	"Arg! me red headed temptress of the tavern dwellers Tis a place for me and my kind I belive. Ill be on yer side O' lady of the betraying kind. Yer harp shall soon be back in thy hands! And that snake Savael will be on his kness with my axe at his throat" Khaira can always make a place at her side for a short-tempered, battle-ready dwarf! Doubtlessly, Bonze will also want his place next to the lovely bard, if his ocmpany is welcome. Hilkor will probably want to join one of the two groups of evil characters. You may decide in which group he,ll fit more. Hilkor is a LE paladin of tyranny (see UA), and should be a pal5/templar10 by then. Doubtlessly, Bonze will gladly have a place at Khaira's side. And as for your LE paladin or tyranny...unless you'd like to play a drow from Menzoberran, Hilkor would probably fit in best with Savael's group. Of course, if you want to play a drow from Menzoberran, I'm sure you would be welcome with the rest of the drow - there are plenty of positions open! Very Sorry about that. You shouldn't have had to clarify anything, it should have been me. Hey, don't worry about a thing! I just wanted to make sure that everyone understood which group was which, and the part that each group would be playing in this adventure. Anyway, your dwarf is welcome to join! At first he says nothing, the only movement he makes is a muscle twitch in his right cheek. Then as the muscle spasm passes he simply says in a low voice. "I'm with you Khaira." And glad I am to have you, sir Malendor. of course, arshes himself wont be participating, his second in command, arshes will. and that'll be before adrinth and arshes meet up, so he's going to be plain o'll level 5 gestalt. Arshes won't be playing, his second in command Arshes will... Hey, wait a minute...*curses the magical ability of cloning!* :D If I comprehend correctly (truly a rare thing!), you're going to be playing a level 5 gestalt, not Arshes? Do you know which group (which I've outlined in above posts) you want your character involved in? Lastly, do you have a race or class for this character, or is all that in the Character Posting Board?
Arshes 06-17-05, 02:58 PM	character posting boards. and no, he isn't a clone of arshes. he's a soulknife/scout while arshes is a pure psion. with a bitof psycopath thrown in there. :D and he'd probobly be with the first group.
Pipers Youth 06-17-05, 07:36 PM	What, no drow volunteering? It's a sad day indeed when we have all these experienced drow players are not volunteering to help the great house of Menzoberranzan, House Ma'Hazzen! Surely we have more brave souls than cowards to travel the realms of the Underdark. Lolth punishes the weak, and cowardice, and rewards the ambitious, clever, and opportunists. I wouldn't want to sacrifice any of you to the Queen of the Demonweb Pits, now should I? Now, here are the positions I still need filled. Drow Wizard (Sorcere) Drow Weapons Master (Melee-Magthere) Drow mercenary, preferably from Bregan D'aerthe Drow Priestess of Lolth (Arach-Tinilith) These are just some characters I need preferably filled, but if you have any other drow characters, like psionist, or demon spawn that are controlled like Drageloths, please feel free to post them. I am very opened minded, and will almost accept most of everyone's ideas. Now if you don't know your drow history, that's okay. Allow me to elaborate from the above. The three schools, Sorcere, Melee-Magthere, and Arach-Tinilith are located in a place called Tier Breche, or the Academy. The first Sorcere, is where male drow wizards go to train and dabble in the arts, lead by the Archmage Gromph Baenre. The second Melee-Magthere is where all the drow warriors go to train, and later on if talented enough, become their House's Weapon's Master. The third, is the Spider shaped temple of Lolth, Arach-Tinilith. This is where all the drow priestesses train, and carry out Lolth's whims. Essentially this is probably considered the most important, sacred place in the City of the Spider Queen. Wherever there is Loth, females rule, and dominate the males. Remember you don't have to know everything, this is just a little piece of information you may need to know if you want to fill the roles above. (And if you already know this, good for you!) Let me stress, that you can play other roles! One more thing. I will be leading the drow party through the Underdark to reach the surface, more as a political figure in play, and with my trusty Forgotten Realms Underdark maunal out of play! Ofcourse, Mistress Khaira with ofcourse jump in and out as she pleases. Lolth preserve you all, Niura Ma'Hazzen, High Preistess of Lolth, and first daughter of House Ma'Hazzen
Lord Tarran 06-18-05, 12:28 AM	Piper, I'm all behind you if I don't have to be drow. The drow image is just too limiting for what I have in mind. Otherwise, I request to have the same character be a member of Savael's group.
Arshes 06-18-05, 12:40 AM	i fear for the sake of his sanity.... :P
Khaira 06-18-05, 01:24 AM	Piper, I'm all behind you if I don't have to be drow. The drow image is just too limiting for what I have in mind. Otherwise, I request to have the same character be a member of Savael's group. Now that would make no sense what-so-ever. Humans have even less status that the goblin slaves, so it would not work at all for a human to be with drow. This is not to mention, of course, that males are seen as below nothing. Male humans are even less than below nothing in the drow society. A human even attempting to work with true drow from the Underdark - and Menzoberran, no less! - would either be sacrificed to Lolth, turned into a drider for even attempting, or tortured for years, solely for the pleasure of Lolth. You'll have to be in Savael's party if you don't want to be a drow. Furthermore, I will not accept any homebrews. Races or classes will have to be from the Core Rulebooks or the Forgotten Realms Setting, and it must be okay'ed by me or Pipers Youth. No world jumping. No alternate realities. No time conundrums.. Final ruling.
Arshes 06-18-05, 01:40 AM	would either be sacrificed to Lolth, turned into a drider for even attempting, or tortured for years, solely for the pleasure of Lolth. why not all three :D
ruthia 06-18-05, 04:53 PM	No more confusion, got my answer. Thanks! So lets get that trail done and get this party started already!!!
Arshes 06-18-05, 05:59 PM	she said that either she or pipers youth would have to review it and see if it would be allowed. so i'm thinkin just wait a bit.
Lord Tarran 06-18-05, 11:17 PM	fixed
Myranthor 06-19-05, 07:02 AM	Races or classes will have to be from the Core Rulebooks or the Forgotten Realms Setting, and it must be okay'ed by me or Pipers Youth. hum..... Hilkor is a human (PHB) paladin of tyranny (UA)/templar(DOTF)/divine champion (FR). Does that works, or not? Similarly, Bonze is a human (PHB)/cloistered cleric (UA)/celestial mystic (BOED) Are there any problems with those?
Lolita 06-19-05, 12:18 PM	I believe I've got my new paladin char. started in the School of Light thread. :D So would I still be able to play her in "Hunt for Khaira's Harp"?
Pipers Youth 06-22-05, 02:58 AM	Hello again to all. I'm taking this opportunity to elaborate and clarify some of your questions, and comments. First let me say you don't need to have a character sheet to play, though it would be helpful to me. All I need is a brief description of your character like, Age, race, sex, and any other little things you have concocted. Everything we do here is writing, simple and clean, and we enjoy it. I will not be needed this information if you are not in my party. You will posts such information to your designated group leaders, Saveal and Khaira. But what I can tell, Ruthia your okay with the homebrews. About everyone knows the famous and infamous Pern dragons. ;) So lets get that trail done and get this party started already!!! Merciless Lolth! I know! I've harped on Khaira a bunch of times about that same thing. Get it, harp? That's a little joke for you Khaira. But sadly, she says we have to wait until the trial is over and done with, so all you over there, get your arses posting! I wanna see if the she-devil bard is thrown in jail already! Then I'm out. I'm not going to deal with hard lining in a non dice setting. That's really sad, and disappointing to hear. I've heard you out, and talked about this, but you simply can't have any humans in a drow party as Khiara stated. I know most of you have heard of Drizzt Do'Urden, and Jarlaxe and Artemis, but I'm neither! It just comes down to drow history, and discrimination. I don't know how you see this as hard lining, becasue it's not. Try to think about it. Now here is some background on Bregan D'aerthe. Jarlaxe the founder of Bragan D'aerthe wanted to create some kind of organization where he could draft drow males, sick of their cruel Matron Mothers into service. Here they would have some freedom, and work as a sword for hire. The band of mercenaries also has ties to the world above, where Jarlaxe is constantly selling surface goods to the denizens of Menzoberranzan. This is as simple as I can put it. I think I've pretty much covered everything for now. Niura Ma'Hazzen
Savael 06-22-05, 12:03 PM	Alright then, first of all, hello to everyone. Seeing as how both Khaira and Piper's Youth has done such spiffing jobs in outlining their sides in this, I thought I'd have to give it a shot as well. The sort of characters I want for Savael's side in this thread is, quite simply put, mercenaries. At the beginning of all this thread, the characters on my side will find themselves in the employ of the aging aristocrat Hendol Kemphris, the somewhat reclusive lord of a trading settlement, called Brandenhall, on the coast of The Vast. Both the small town and it's inhabitants have apperantly seen better days. You might have been here only a few weeks a perhaps one or two month, but the main thing you've taken note of is that Hendol is building up to something. Several wealthy and powerful figures from the local area have shown up at the doorstep of his dilapitated estate recently, and that caravan which arrived just last night was awfully well guarded for a mere food transport, wasn't it? Strange happenings aside, the pay is good and even though there hasn't been too much trouble to handle just yet, although the gnawing feeling in your gut tells you that this might all change pretty soon. The woman Hendol has put in charge as your superior while serving him, Tzagaqua Vendol, certainly seems to think so. * * * Here are the roles I need filled, much like Piper's set-up. - A competend wizard, sorcerer or some other arcane spell-caster. - A cleric. Preferably devoted to some sort of war-like faith. Use your imagination, just leave out any scruples or morals while you're at it. - A brick. Someone who can take a blow or two to the head and still keep on comming. Fighters, barbarians and such are preferable. EDIT: Role taken by Myranthor. - A Rogue. Someone who can disarm traps, pick the odd lock, pose as just another bystander and get back in one piece to report on what she's seen. EDIT: Role taken by Dandrie Swift. The Man. Do you get the drift so far? I'll try to post more about my side later on, but for now, this is what I've got. Got questions? Keep'em comming and I'll answer all in turn.
Myranthor 06-22-05, 12:06 PM	I repeat my interested in joining that group, Savael, with ny character Hilkor.
Savael 06-22-05, 12:09 PM	Hm. Hilkor. A Paladin of Tyranny, you say? Well, I think he could fit the role of fighter rather nicely, and I know that you're a very competent RP'er by more than reputation, so... Yes, Myranthor, I see no reason why Hilkor can't join the group. Welcome aboard as the first one.
Dandrie Swift 06-22-05, 04:22 PM	Savael is it alright if im on your side. I planned on playing a mercanary in the very first but changed my mind, but your last post changed it again. IF you'll have me I'd like to play as Dandrie Swift, Rogue Extraodinaire. I'll work on my punctuation a little more eh? :D He makes an excellent scout and he is quick enough to get out of most trouble. Just watch your wallets and noone will get hurt and more importantly I won't. He uses shortsword and a dagger and is proficient with a crossbow, as well he can manipulate magical items to activate just like a wizard. (he impersonated one before).
Darshendros 06-22-05, 10:42 PM	If nobody has done so already, I can fill up one of the drow positions. What's still open? Or are all of them still open? I can pretty much play any of them, but I won't play all of them (even though I have the capabilities). That'd just be taking away from the drow experience others should get. ;P I'll make things easy and make up a Bregan D'aerthe character... which'll probably just be a variation of Chaszmyr anyway.
Savael 06-23-05, 08:01 AM	Dandrie, I'd love to have your character on board, with or without punctuation. Welcome to Savael's paty. Buckle up!
Pipers Youth 06-23-05, 01:54 PM	Name: Chaszmyr T'sarran Race: Drow Age: 270 Class: Rogue/Assassin Chaszmyr is an agent of the mysterious and shady Bregan D'aerthe. Like the majority of its other members, Chaszmyr is an outcast, a houseless drow looking anywhere to sell his skills. He had heard of Bregan D'aerthe through word of mouth, but didn't know where to find them. They found him instead, and after a rigorous initiation, took him into their ranks, where he had found life to be a hell of a lot easier under the leadership of Jarlaxle, up until his disappearance. Welcome Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. Your services have been requested by Maliril, Matron Mother of House Ma'Hazzen. You are charged hereby to assist, to the best of your skills, in a raid to the surface realm. Your adventure through the mysterious Underdark will be a perilous one, but if you succeed you will be rewarded greatly. Though in the event that you don not return, your soul will have an assured place amongst Lolth. Great now, all I'll need is three more positions. Like Saveal I will fill in the setting for my part of the story. All the drow party will find themselves in the luminescent majesty of Qu'ellarz'ol, the noble region of Menzoberranzan, knelt the audience chamber of Matron Ma'Hazzen. She has just been dealt of devastating blow, by finding out that a recent expedition to the surface has resulted in several deaths of the family, the culprit, a fiery haired bardess named Khiara. Now vulnerable to lesser ambitious houses who seek to overthrow her, she has foolishly in a fit of rage gathered what is left of her forces and has charged them to find and kill the bardess to avenge their deaths. And has left the first daughter of the house Niura, the task of leading this party. Essentially you are the remaining forces!
Arshes 06-23-05, 02:07 PM	well, it looks like i won't be able to participate. i was planning on playing the fang dragon i introduced at the awards, but since he's noncore it wouldn't be possible.
Khaira 06-23-05, 04:06 PM	well, it looks like i won't be able to participate. i was planning on playing the fang dragon i introduced at the awards, but since he's noncore it wouldn't be possible. What book is the Fang Dragon out o,f? Or is it something made up by you, a homebrew? Allow me to rephrase my previous statement. Originally I had stated: Furthermore, I will not accept any homebrews. Races or classes will have to be from the Core Rulebooks or the Forgotten Realms Setting, and it must be okay'ed by me or Pipers Youth. No world jumping. No alternate realities. No time conundrums.. Final ruling. I will not accept any homebrews that are super powered (this includes abilities to planar jump 10/day, shoot balls of energy that do 20d6 damage 5 times per day, and the like). Nor will I accept homebrews that are pointlessly absurd. This includes species from another planet/dimension/whatever with a different skin color, or impossible relationships, like a human earning respect from drow. If you have a homebrew, there has to be balances for your particular homebrew and if the homebrew is merely for cosmetics, I will say no. However! If you want to play a homebrew that is reasonable, not super powered, and not absolutely unreasonable, I can work with you. Let me know the statistics of your homebrew and we can see if we can work something out. I had also originally stated this: Races or classes will have to be from the Core Rulebooks or the Forgotten Realms Setting, and it must be okay'ed by me or Pipers Youth. No world jumping. No alternate realities. No time conundrums.. Final ruling. While I still hold a strong preference to this rule, I can make exceptions. Let me (and, particularly, the villain who's group you want to play in) what it is that you want to play and I (we'll) see if it can fit in. I can't make any promises, mind you, but I can work with you to see if a particular race/class/etc can work in this game, as long as it is reviewed by me or one of the assistant DMS (that being Pipers Youth or Savael).
Darshendros 06-23-05, 08:00 PM	Fang Dragons are in the Monsters of Faerun booklet. Viscious creatures. On behalf of Bregan D'aerthe, Chaszmyr humbly accepts the task given to him and will accomplish his duties until his services are no longer required. He will contact an agent of Bregan D'aerthe upon completion of his mission to collect his payment upon return. I could bring along Darsh, though I doubt there'd be a role for him -other than having the harp in his treasure hoard. But that wouldn't be much of a fair fight. ;p

Khaira 06-23-05, 09:57 PM	Fang Dragons are in the Monsters of Faerun booklet. Well, depending on how powerful they are, they may be allowed; Fang Dragons are of the Forgotten Realms Setting and, as I stated previously: Races or classes will have to be from the Core Rulebooks or the Forgotten Realms Setting Now for some clarification on my above post... From a little bird, I learned I may have sounded a little harsh with my restrictions on the whole race, class, and homebrews but, really, it is a safeguard. I am trying to keep over-powered, one man army characters as far away from my game as possible. Keep in mind, however, that I am not, by any means, slamming the door shut for unique characters. I do not want overpowered characters; I do, however, want in-depth characters. If you have a homebrew something-or-other that you want to add to your character, you need only ask. If I think it is overpowered, I will discuss it with you and, if it is not, i will let you have it as long as it adds depth to your character, and is not just for show-and-tell. Lastly, I cannot emphasize enough that if any of you have concerns, questions, comments - hell, even criticism! - feel free to talk to me about it. I may not be able to fix all of the problems, but we can at least work together to make this a better game. Good gaming!
JudeSedai 06-24-05, 05:27 PM	Hmmm, I do have a drow floating around that I'm tempted to offer up.....but, given his alignment, I doubt he'd fit very well with Piper's group. Sorry, I know most folks don't know who I am, 'cause I lurk on this board (I'm an ISRPer by preference), but I'm interested in getting involved in something here.
Arshes 06-24-05, 06:21 PM	well, the only source i have for the fang dragon is from the draconomicon. could someone tell me what the skill selection is for a fang dragon?
Darshendros 06-24-05, 06:30 PM	Fang Dragons in the Draconomicon is the same as the one in MoF, since they are exclusively for the FR setting. *has both* ^_^ *Thinks Dragonlance would be a hell of a lot better if it had as many dragons as FR, instead of KILLING THEM ALL!* >:[
JudeSedai 06-24-05, 06:43 PM	Fang dragons..... *shudders*
Arshes 06-24-05, 07:31 PM	don't worry, he's going to be a cleric of astilabor. are character sheets needed?
Myranthor 06-24-05, 07:34 PM	No, I'm just a perfectionnist. :P However, if we are to have the PCs confront each other, it might be a good idea to have character sheets, if we want to go by the rules and not by ad hoc and plain storytelling adjudication. I believe it is hard to go only by storytelling, because no one will want their characters to die in a fight. But that is your own choice to make, we don't have to play by the rules in the MoP.
ruthia 06-24-05, 09:38 PM	No, I'm just a perfectionnist. :P However, if we are to have the PCs confront each other, it might be a good idea to have character sheets, if we want to go by the rules and not by ad hoc and plain storytelling adjudication. I believe it is hard to go only by storytelling, because no one will want their characters to die in a fight. But that is your own choice to make, we don't have to play by the rules in the MoP. :P Well pooie on you mister Perfectionist. I Refuse to use a char sheet and you can't make :P :P :P
Khaira 06-24-05, 09:43 PM	Well, Jude, if you want to play a drow character, I'm sure Piper would be more than happy to enlist you, whether you merely make a few changes on your current drow character or make a new one. Pipers Youth has some guidelines to what drow he wants, so I'll leave that up to him. Of course, if you decide that you do not, after all, want to play a drow, there are other positions open, too. Now...with the characters and all, I think it would be best if, when creating characters (or modifying) your characters are not over 15th level. I would prefer 12'ish level characters but, in order to give a little freedom and diversity, I'm going to say 12-15th level, and that *is* including level adjustments of powerful races or templates. After all, we do need to have a balance of character levels here.
Dandrie Swift 06-24-05, 10:01 PM	:D Mine's going to be around lvl 11 :D . maybe 12. Who knows
Khaira 06-24-05, 10:17 PM	One additional note on character sheets: Having statistics for certain attacks is fine. It can be difficult to discern what a spell really is or how much damage it really does when a certain player describes it. If you want to make a character sheet, that is fine. I have no problems with that. I do not, however, want it turning into number-crunching game. Examples follow: Decent Example Khaira sneaked forward quietly, steadily, avoiding the dry leaves of the forest as she snuck up on the pair of sentries ((Khaira has a +15 to her Move Silently check)) Bad Example Khaira began to sneak forward on the dry leaves of the forest, using her +15 modifier in Move Silently to sneak up on the pair of guards. She also takes 10 on her Move Silently check, and gets a 21 on her roll It should be fairly obvious why one of these is better. This is supposed to be free-form roleplaying; that is, diceless. Thus, that is, for the most part, what I intend for this game to be. Statistics can be used to clear up some confusion, but it shouldn't become the main function of the game. I am not requiring character sheets, either; as long as you have a basic idea of weapons, armor, statistics, etc. that would be fine. Additionally, I do have the Draconomicon; I will look at the Fang Dragon tonight and give you my answer either this evening or this morning.
Arshes 06-24-05, 10:42 PM	ok. the only diffrence that kepesk'oth (had to change his name. i realized that i had given him one that means cripple tooth. :ahem: ) and a normal fang dragon is that he is NG aligned. oh, and most of his hoard is what he wears, a pectoral of manuverability, a apir of claws of the ripper (think of freddy kreugers clasw but dragon sized), a holy dymbol of astilabor, a a jaws of the dragon. he also has the rest of his gold stored in a bag of holding type II.
Pipers Youth 06-25-05, 10:00 AM	JudeSedai, nice to see you interested in our thread. There are alot of great things here at the Map of the Planes, so delve in, and indulge yourself! Now about your character. Like Khaira said, I am will take a look at your character if you send me the required information, and I'll see what I can do. If it's just alignment, I don't think that would be to much of a problem. Oh, thanks for those helpful examples Khiara, very technical! Now I wasn't going to post Niura's character sheet until the beginging of the actual thread starts up, but since we are requiring everyone else to give some bits of theirs, I felt obliged.

Myranthor 06-25-05, 10:06 AM	Now do you think Eidrog wil jump in this thread to check on our character sheets? hmmmm? :P BTW, I noticed that she has consecrate prepared...Wasn't that a good spell?
Pipers Youth 06-25-05, 02:52 PM	Now do you think Eidrog wil jump in this thread to check on our character sheets? hmmmm? BTW, I noticed that she has consecrate prepared...Wasn't that a good spell? And take time out of his busy schedule, nah! And you didn't see a consecrate did you? No, that would be Cure moderate wounds. Hehe ;)
Darshendros 06-25-05, 07:08 PM	*is really getting tired of having to type in the bloody address manually to make a reply... kicks browser multiple times* Well, since we're discussing levels, I guess Chaszmyr would be a 10 rogue/3 assassin. My character sheet experience is limited to Neverwinter Nights, so it'd probably be a little off if I decided to copy it all down... so I won't bother. *knew he should've brought his damn books with him* -_-
Lord Tarran 06-26-05, 02:17 PM	OK, after lots of consideration, and some sleep, I'm back in, if I can be. I still disagree with the circumstances surrounding the character of my choice, but understand them, and am willing to change. So now. I was thinking about using a human male in what effectively would work as a sorceror/rogue/shadowdancer gestalt, except the sorceror is only standing there as a basis for a freeform mage like thing, which no rules really govern, but for all means and purposes would be a sorceror (I think that makes sense). I'll put a char sheet together once I get feed back, unless you don't need one, in which case I'll start working out the fluffy stuff.
Khaira 06-26-05, 03:46 PM	OK, after lots of consideration, and some sleep, I'm back in, if I can be.

As long as you respect the decisions of the DM and my sub DMs. We don't need any know-it-all's. Your character has to be 12th-15th level, including level adjustments, and you will have to remove the Gestalt template, I'm afriad. And what group are you planning on being with this time? If you're still planning on joining the drow, I'm afraid there will still be a problem there.
Chelyrra_Eredyn 06-26-05, 09:34 PM	Hmmmmmm... Well, Chelyrra can't join in. She's busy. :rolleyes: But I do have a male drow character under construction that might fit the drow party. He's shaping up to be something like Fighter 8/Tempest 2/Master Thrower 2. Those might shift a little, but you get the gist of it. The PRCs aren't core, but one could always say he's a fighter that's just very good with two-weapon and throwing things?

Taeldrin Laesrash 06-27-05, 10:54 AM	I have a character. Dscrates Blank is a Vacuum Elemental (Bard 1/ Rogue 3/ Spymaster 3) who's just learning the concepts of good and evil, needs some money, and still has trouble finding his way around in social events. It'll be on Savael's side.
Savael 06-27-05, 11:32 AM	Hm. On Savael's side you say? Well, I'm not quite sure that'd work out Taeldrin. As things stand now, I still need a competent Arcanist, and a half-decent Cleric, and a Vacuum Elemental lacking social intelligence doesn't quite fit the bill I'm looking for. I appreciate your request to join though, and would gladly have you abord with another character. This one is just not right, however.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-27-05, 11:52 AM	Okay. Can I join Khaira's side? And it's not that it's socially unintellegent, it's mostly unaware of social practices.
Khaira 06-27-05, 01:08 PM	Taledrin- In what way is this Spymaster "socially unaware"? Does he not understand why stealing or "spying" is a socially unacceptable thing? Does he not understand other people? Or am I missing the point altogether? Perhaps an example might help. Chelyrra- Well, your character sounds like it would fit in with the drow party. I'm sure Piper would gladly welcome another drow into your group, however, the ultimate decision is also up to him. We'll just have to wait and see what he says. Arshes- Fang Dragons are an extremely powerful race, from what I can see. Seeing as how I want to make all of the characters relatively the same level, in order to prevent any power struggles, yes, I'm afraid so. You could either play a younger Fang Dragon, or you could pick a different race that isn't so powerful.
Arshes 06-27-05, 01:46 PM	i'm changing him to a half-shadow dragon drow ranger. :D his name will be sjach'maurg.though, his total LA is +5...
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-27-05, 03:04 PM	By 'socially unaware', I mean your second reason, certain customs are alien to it, and it has a difficult time reading emotions. However, I'm beginning to think that Dscrates isn't the best character for this adventure. I have another character, a charismatic Wraith Assassin by the name of Setrith. Will it be okay for one of the villains?
Darshendros 06-27-05, 04:33 PM	Is it really so hard to play a normal character? o.O; And by normal, I mean races from the PHB. Not saying it's bad or anything, it just seems that... I dunno. I like having a balance in my games.
JudeSedai 06-27-05, 04:45 PM	I never thought it was myself.....I usually play half-elves, to be honest. Less stat adjustment, etc that way. *quickly hides her few odd characters, including the half-dragon, the drow, and the drow/moon elf*
Darshendros 06-27-05, 04:52 PM	*wishes I kept that list of characters I made before*
Chelyrra_Eredyn 06-27-05, 06:53 PM	Let's see, of my fully formed characters, I have: one (about to be two) drow, one half-drow, one halfling, two half-elves, and eight humans. *blinks* I didn't realize I had that many humans.
Pipers Youth 06-27-05, 08:32 PM	Hmmmmmm... Well, Chelyrra can't join in. She's busy. But I do have a male drow character under construction that might fit the drow party. He's shaping up to be something like Fighter 8/Tempest 2/Master Thrower 2. Those might shift a little, but you get the gist of it. The PRCs aren't core, but one could always say he's a fighter that's just very good with two-weapon and throwing things? Great Chelyrra, welcome to the drow party. Though he isn't a weapons master, your character will do just fine. Private message me when you have a name figured out, and some other stuff you would like to tell me about this character. Now these are the roles I still need filled. A clever drow wizard, or some kind of spellcaster. A drow preistess of Lolth And some kind of obdient demon-spawn. However, I'm beginning to think that Dscrates isn't the best character for this adventure. I have another character, a charismatic Wraith Assassin by the name of Setrith. Will it be okay for one of the villains? Eh, you do know ofcourse that wraiths are Undead, incorporeal creatures commonly found in the Underdark? So that probably already eliminates you from Saveal's party. Somehow I don't think a group of very alive mercenaries would warm up to something that could drain their essences when touched. As for my party, I don't see what you don't understand of strictly drow party, for the exception of demon-spawn. Frankly I don't even see how that class works, unless you can show me otherwise. Though, you would be perfect for random monster encounters.
elvendorf 06-27-05, 08:39 PM	hummm...sounds cool..can i be an elf..mixed with a dwarf?
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-27-05, 09:06 PM	:banghead: Sigh. I've run out of exotic characters. Mundane isn't in my vocab. Sorry.
JudeSedai 06-27-05, 09:39 PM	hummm...sounds cool..can i be an elf..mixed with a dwarf? .....bwah!? Someone tried to play one of those in a campaign I once ran.....I couldn't wrap my mind around it. If someone can, they're a better person than I am.
Darshendros 06-27-05, 09:55 PM	Now there's an odd couple, a half-elf dwarf. Lol And somehow I can picture it... Now these are the roles I still need filled. A clever drow wizard, or some kind of spellcaster. A drow preistess of Lolth And some kind of obdient demon-spawn. Haha. I knew we'd have a demon-spawn. XD *ponders on making a second character* Can we play two characters?
Khaira 06-28-05, 02:03 AM	hummm...sounds cool..can i be an elf..mixed with a dwarf? You mean a half-elf half-dwarf? Or do you mean an elf raised in dwarven society or vice versa? If the former...no, for two reasons. First of all, elven and dwarven sexual genes are not compatible with each other. They cannot mate with each other....well, okay, they can, but no reproduction is possible. Proof of this is in the Book of Erotic Fantasy. Before anyone asks, yes, it is a book I have bought. :) Second of all, it is such a nigh impossible possibility. Dwarves and elves simply would require a *lot* of togetherness and bonding before they would mate. And even if they did, I think it would generally be a looked down upon thing. Third, they are two completely different types of people - one makes their living (stereotypically) in the forests, off the land while the other is of stone, earth, and subterranean. I will let you, however, play an elf or a dwarf raised in the opposite society, like Cattie-Brie of the Companions of the Hall was. I will need a valid reason and a good background for you doing so, however. Is it really so hard to play a normal character?....Can we play two characters? Normal character? I have yet to see one of those. I have yet to make a normal character. I suppose you mean a character without a +5 to a +20 level adjustment? This is online roleplaying, after all, where nigh every person feels a need to play an ECL 20+ character in order to feel like they're REALLY roleplaying. As for two characters...if you can manage both of them, yes. Myranthor is running two characters and, if you think you can handle two characters simulateneously, feel free to try. Mundane isn't in my vocab. Sorry Mundane or no super powerful? There's a major difference, you know. One is a standard character, just like every other person uses and still has a fun time roleplaying. The other is merely a tool for people to min-max. i'm changing him to a half-shadow dragon drow ranger Half Shadow Dragon Drow? *sighs* Is there a reason you need to play a race with a level adjustment? Is it so bad playing one with out one? How does a shadow dragon mate with a drow, anyway? Why? I'll have to review this race, once again, to see how much it'll overshadow everyone else. Keep in mind that, if I do approve this choice of yours, you will need to have a good in-character story and reason for a shadow dragon mating with a drow. And...have you noticed you're one of the very few people who are trying to play a character with a +5 Level Adjustment???
Darshendros 06-28-05, 02:10 AM	As for two characters...if you can manage both of them, yes. Myranthor is running two characters and, if you think you can handle two characters simulateneously, feel free to try. Playing two characters at once is child's play to me. I'm playing all the NPCs, plus two PCs on the board I'm running. Now that's stressful. Lol. Anyway. I'll cook something fiendish up and pop it over to Piper for approval... even if it will be more or less a clone. >.>
Myranthor 06-28-05, 07:46 AM	Khaira, I do not think, in the making of a half-drow, that there is an actual mating betweent he dragon and the humanoid. From the monster manual of third edition, under "half-dragon" : "Dragon's magical nature allows them to crossbreed with virtually any creaature. This usually occurs while the dragon has changed its shapel it then abandons the crossbreed young." I believe that a polymorphed dragon who has a sexual relation transmits some of its draconic heritage unto his offspring, simply because of the strength and magical propoerties of draconic blood.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-28-05, 10:35 AM	Oh yeah...I remember you put up a help topic about troublesome PCs, and some people (Me included) recommended that book. And I guess by exotic, I mean something that is, well, exotic (Usually non-core). Oh, and Savael? I do have a character that will do. Would you accept a Half-Elf Swashbuckler/ Ur-Priest?
JudeSedai 06-28-05, 01:22 PM	Khaira, I do not think, in the making of a half-drow, that there is an actual mating betweent he dragon and the humanoid. From the monster manual of third edition, under "half-dragon" : "Dragon's magical nature allows them to crossbreed with virtually any creaature. This usually occurs while the dragon has changed its shapel it then abandons the crossbreed young." I believe that a polymorphed dragon who has a sexual relation transmits some of its draconic heritage unto his offspring, simply because of the strength and magical propoerties of draconic blood. I believe the problem is more with why a shadow dragon would want to mate with a drow at all, less than is it even possible.....of course, I could be wrong ^_^
Arshes 06-28-05, 03:31 PM	Half Shadow Dragon Drow? *sighs* Is there a reason you need to play a race with a level adjustment? Is it so bad playing one with out one? How does a shadow dragon mate with a drow, anyway? Why? I'll have to review this race, once again, to see how much it'll overshadow everyone else. Keep in mind that, if I do approve this choice of yours, you will need to have a good in-character story and reason for a shadow dragon mating with a drow. And...have you noticed you're one of the very few people who are trying to play a character with a +5 Level Adjustment??? dragon rapist? :D
Khaira 06-28-05, 04:05 PM	While I don't necessarily feel comfortable allowing such powerful races into my game, especially of this extremely rare kind, I will allow you to bring this half-shadow dragon/drow into my game. Since I believe this is an extremely rare case, I am requiring a very good reason of how your character came into existence. And, no, rape is not a good enough reason, not to mention it is against the CoC. Additionally, it is up to Piper to see if a character, such as this one, would effectively fit into his group.
Arshes 06-28-05, 04:12 PM	ok. i'll try and work something up.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-28-05, 04:13 PM	To answer the question on Half-Dragons, I'd say that some dragons (At least the good ones) explore human life shapechanged, and probably comes across a charming humaniod of the opposite sex. Evil dragons (And possibly some chaotic ones) force humaniods that they have captured or enthralled to mate. A Shadow Dragon has sorcerer spells (So it could polymorph). Actually, Arshes' reason, while thin on details, is very likely, especially in a turbulent society like the Drow's.
Khaira 06-28-05, 04:29 PM	Evil dragons (And possibly some chaotic ones) force humaniods that they have captured or enthralled to mate. Okay. But no rape. I repeat: there will be no characters in my game that have any details about rape in their backgrounds. I will not take any risks that lead to violation of the CoC (Code of Conduct). Furthermore, after reading this post, I want everyone (veteran Roleplayer, new Roleplayer, avid Roleplayer...I don't care) to go read the Sticky on FoD (Freedom of Destiny) (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=409646). This WILL enforced in my game, with direct consequences if FoD is not adhered to. It will be a strictly Three Strike rule, with one grace strike. Thus, you betray FoD once, you'll be warned and advised. If you continue to do so, you will be kicked out of my game. FoD, basically, boils down to this: "Every person is in control of his OWN character, but nobody else's." It is a rule to enforce "nice" roleplaying, and is intended to keep the fun in roleplaying. It is thus my demand that all people participating in this adventure read that sticky, as soon as possible. If there are any questions about FoD or what constitutes obstruction of FoD, questions may be posted here.

Khaira 06-28-05, 04:41 PM	My concern with this subject of rape in a character's background is more than just that it would break a rule of the Code of Conduct. While that is always a thought on the back burner of my mind, there is another reason why I am so adamant about my Zero Tolerance Rule on Rape. There is a wide variety of persons who play on this site. Children, in some cases, high school students, college students, adults... Okay, now let's say a past rape victim, now recovered, is reading a post. We have some superb writers on this site, and let's say one of them is playing an evil character. That character's origin came about through rape. Depending on the severity of the rape victim reading that post, they could have some severe mental trauma. You may think I'm exaggerating here, but it is my way of taking precautions. Better safe than sorry. So, as an addendum to my above ruling...if your trying to figure out a background to your character, and there is simply no way to get around reasoning for your characters origins, you may use the case of rape. However, when writing your background, PLEASE do not go into detail about, for the sake of the Code of Conduct and for the sake of persons, that you may not know about, also reading your post.
Arshes 06-28-05, 04:51 PM	ui was suggesting it jokingly, i wasn't actually going to put that in his backround....... :( but since both drow and shadow dragons are evil, it'd figure for them to atleast mutually acknowledge the exostence of the other. (i don't have FR, so if someone could pm me what area we are playing in and any other usefull stuff, that'd help)
Savael 06-28-05, 06:27 PM	An ur-prist, eh? I've only got a quick glance at that particular class in the Book of Vile Darkness, but I think it had something to do with "tapping the power of the gods without actuallly believing in them" right? In any case, he might very well work when it comes to fulfilling the role of a cleric - why don't you enlighten me a bit and tell me some more about this whole Ur-priest deal?
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-28-05, 09:11 PM	With pleasure. You've got the basic idea of the Ur-Priest: Steals divine power. This translates to divine spell resistance, stealing spell-like abilities and spells, and a full divine caster progression in 10 levels. As for the character herself, her name is *ahem* Vzerii Sercicade til Corrinea. She's a nilhistic duelist who believes that it's nonsense to have some arrogant humans control her life. Her alliances only go last for as long as her benefits. She's also with the Fated (Planar faction, see Planewalker.com), and a mercenary.
Pipers Youth 06-28-05, 10:05 PM	Kya haha! I got approval to play more than one character, so I'll be providing for the demon too (gods know if anyone else will they'll get us all killed). I just need to know what would be acceptable, or more specifically, how strong of a demon can the priestess keep under control. Thought about making a draegloth at first, but it occurred to me that it'd be highly unlikely for a lesser House to be granted with one, unless this is all taking place after War of the Spider Queen. I'm rambling now. Let me know. I'm quite fine with you playing two characters, as long as you can handle it. I'm also elated to know that you'd be playing a tanar'ri. Since it's not common for a demon to serve a drow priestess, you have a wide variety here. I preferably suggest a dragoloth. This creature is conceived between the spiritual courtship between a drow preistess and the hulking glaberzu. You could easily be a son of one of the preistess of House Ma'Hazzen, and considered a valuable member to the family, as well as a cherished thing of Lolth. Or you could be a drider, once a drow, transformed into spiderkind by a priestess of Lolth. The others I would see as being into service, that means summoned and binded until a certain time, or in the event a task is accomplished. Though in some cases, the demons will wait until they slip up and kill their binders, or seek them afterwards. I could say a Blood fiend, Quth-Maren, or a Maurezhi, though I'm not for certain. Let me know what you think, and I'll talk to the Dm. I'll be answering all questions here so don't private message me unless your giving me information. It helps to keep my inbox clear. And mind you, House Ma'Hazzen is the eighth house of Menzoberranzan, and that's not to bad. On the shadow dragon, drow issue, I don't see the problem. It's rare, but it's been done. There's actually a ruined city in the Underdark that is host to shadow dragons. I was just reading about it somewhere, but I'll find it! Besides that, it doesn't exactly have to be rape. A shadow dragon, and a drow can have a relationship, though I doubt there will be much love in it. Love is an unnecessary emotion in a world like the Underdark. I don't know the stats for this race though. I'll ponder on this more, and should have an answer for you shortly.
Arshes 06-28-05, 10:38 PM	+8 str, +2 dex, +0 con, +4 int, +0 wis, +4 cha. and +5 LA. His breath attack is a cone of shadows that gives one negative level, he gains immunity to energy drain, and he has all the other standard drow/half-shadow dragon stats.
Lord Tarran 06-28-05, 11:15 PM	As long as you respect the decisions of the DM and my sub DMs. We don't need any know-it-all's. Your character has to be 12th-15th level, including level adjustments, and you will have to remove the Gestalt template, I'm afriad. And what group are you planning on being with this time? If you're still planning on joining the drow, I'm afraid there will still be a problem there. You're right, we don't need know-it-alls. I was merely using gestalt as an example of the general idea. I couldn't think of a better way to describe the class, because it is not a statted thing, much like book characters are not statted. I was giving the example as a way to show you the boundaries of the abilities. Level would be 13, for the class, meaning that I would keep his actions within the range of a 10th level Gestalt sorceror/rogue (with shadowdancer requirements on travel magic) Oh, and I apologize for not making myself clear on the group, it was late and I thought I had typed it in, and hadn't. Savael's, for obvious reasons.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-29-05, 10:04 AM	Shadow Dragon stats are the Draconomicon. It's generally low Strength, 10 Dexterity, moderate Constitution, and high mental stats. And I knew that Shadow Dragons (Or at least their cousins the Deep Dragons) existed in the Underdark, and that's how one gets a relationship with a drow. Of course, Pharaun said in Dissolution, "We drow love, but only in the carnal sense."
JudeSedai 06-29-05, 11:55 AM	There are stats on them (shadow dragons) in Monsters of Faerûn as well....Piper, shoot me a PM or an e-mail regarding my character...I do have a boards SN for him (though I'll have to be mindful to leave off my sig when playing him!). My e-mail's in my profile :D
Darshendros 06-29-05, 04:53 PM	Alrighty. Draegloth it is then (I'd be too tempted to find a way out of my binding if I played a tanar'ri. >.>). I'll cook up a bio for it when my head's clear of this illness, and post it here. >.<; About shadow dragons and drow: Yes, there is a ruined city in the Underdark that's a host to them. City of Shadows -I forgot the drow name of it, though. It half-exists in the Plane of Shadow. The half-shadow dragon/drow that live there are all part of some organization, offspring of shadows dragons and drow who survived whatever war destroyed the city, obviously. It's in the Underdark supplement book, as well as in the War of the Spider Queen series. That, to me anyway, would be the only reason a shadow dragon would breed with a drow. Hope that clears some stuff up. >.>; Name: Drizavin Ma'Hazzen Race: Draegloth Appearance: Drizavin is a hulking creature, standing over seven feet tall, with black skin and a mane of white hair going down his back and chest. He looks like a drow with the muzzle of a demonic hound for a face, with gleaming red eyes, and four arms -two of which are powerful claws while the other two look like regular drow arms. His body is powerfully built due to the demonic blood running through his veins, and he is incredibly agile for his size. Background: The offspring of a glabrezu and Matron Ma'Hazzen, Drizavin is a clear sign of Lolth's favor upon the House to all who see him. Though not too intelligent, and quick to anger, he is a loyal and ferocious guardian of the Matron Mother. Drizavin has been assigned to protect Niura on the expedition to the surface.

Excellent choice, and this is the perfect example of what I'm looking for when you post your characters. You have great knowledge of drow, and I would expect nothing less. I also found out the ruined name of the city host to Shadow dragons. It is called Chaulssin, City of Wyrmshadows. And the half shadow dragon, half drow's name that was in The War of the Spider Queen trilogy, is Nimor Imphraezl, the Anointed Blade. But I'm not going to go more in detail to ruin anything for the people who haven't read the trilogy yet. And JudeSedai, I sent you a private message.
Darshendros 06-30-05, 04:13 PM	Dragons and drow are my forte. ;p
JudeSedai 06-30-05, 09:29 PM	Got the message Piper, thanks ^_^ I'll be posting my character when I get back from my trip. Gives me time to work on some things for him, anyway. Have a good weekend, all!
Savael 06-30-05, 09:35 PM	Happy weekend, JC.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-30-05, 10:13 PM	Sorry to bother you Savael, but I put up the basics of my Ur-Priest character. Could you take a look at it?
Savael 07-01-05, 06:52 AM	Oh yes, sorry about that Taeldrin - I'll get on it right away. * * * Well... I think this'll fit in easily enough, yes. As long as this little nihilist of yours can take orders and don't fret too much, I'm sure she'll fit in just fine. Also, I like the coreclass on her, it's not too often you run into any swashbuckler's around here ;) So, she has some sort of connection to 'The Fated' you say? I'll have to check up on what those are, but appart from that - she's approved. Welcome aboard. PS: Thats quite some name you've got there... PSS: ATTENTION! I'm going away for perhaps three or four days, and so will not under any circumstances have access to a computer. I'll hopefully be back again sooner or later though - *so that mens you'd better get around to giving me a Wizard to play around with pretty damn sharpish or you'll all face some good'ol squirly wrath!* Ahem, Take care everyone, The Hans
Agudo Archmage 07-01-05, 01:02 PM	Hav Fun Hans :D
Darshendros 07-01-05, 08:15 PM	I'm itchin' to get started. Itchin'... like a crack addict. Where's my Red Balls!? *drinks* SHAZAM!

Taeldrin Laesrash 07-01-05, 10:17 PM	You called, ma'am? We have syringes, straitjackets, and round-the-clock monitoring.
Darshendros 07-01-05, 10:51 PM	*Crawls sneakily along the ceiling and hides until the RP begins*
JudeSedai 07-10-05, 04:29 PM	Sorry about keeping everyone waiting. Been a touch busy of late. Xerafeln Karan is the son of a house that was once among those of now-lost Maerimydra, far below the Dales. After the death of his city, the last son of House Noamuth Elemmiire took to wandering, both on the surface and in the Underdark. After years of venturing throughout and below the Realms, Xerafeln found himself in Menzoberranzan, marginally as a mercenary, but mostly for the reason of honing his magical abilities at the Sorcere. He is skilled with the shortsword he carries, well-spoken and eloquent. The only price he has asked for his service to any house that would utilize his skills is their sponsorship of him to the Sorcere. Little is known about the mysterious wanderer. What he does advertise in his own quiet way is that he is well-versed in lore of the Underdark's hinterlands as well as in aspects of life on the surface. When he approached House Ma'Hazzen, he informed them that all he wished was to gain admission to the Sorcere, and with the support of their house, he might do so. In return for their support, he has offered his service and expertise on the surface, which he has casually mentioned might be useful in their imminent expedition to the surface. Piper, you have his stats already, aye?
Pipers Youth 07-10-05, 08:29 PM	For those of you who would like to know, I have decided not to incorperate Lolth's absence in the game. We are just going to presume that Lolth's silence has ended, her favor returned, and that the drow clerics have regained their spell ability. I just didn't want any of you to bring that up later, so I'm stating that now. This is a list of the drow I have already scrutinized and approved. Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. 10 rogue/3 assassin.(Played by Darshendros) Drizavin Ma'Hazzen, dragelolth, and son of the Matron(Also played by Darshendros) Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Sjach'maurg, half-shadow dragon drow ranger(Played by Arshes) As the Dm stated, I still need a history for your character arshes. Everyone else has provided a bit of information, so I still need one for you. Yes, and I have your stats Jude.

Taeldrin Laesrash 07-10-05, 09:50 PM	Awwww, that's no fun. The Silence would make it all far more interesting.
Khaira 07-11-05, 02:26 AM	*Crawls sneakily along the ceiling and hides until the RP begins* I feel I must, once again, re-iterate what I have stated before as to the starting date of this thread. It will not, likely, be starting soon. This thread is intended to take place after the Trial of Khaira. The Trial of Khaira will take, I'm guessing, about 3-7 more months, ideally. More than that if we run into any more problems. The reason I started this thread was solely to attract people and get the groups fairly organized and set in stone. So, in short, if you're intending to wait for this thread to start up...you're going to be waiting a very long time. But look on the bright side, at least you'll have something to look forward to.
Darshendros 07-11-05, 05:14 PM	Excellent. I'll have more free time by then (and hopefully my freedom). I can wait. *Bounces*
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-15-05, 11:47 PM	..
Darshendros 07-16-05, 12:17 AM	A kobold lich? o.o; Now I've seen everything.
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-16-05, 12:37 AM	..
Khaira 07-16-05, 07:40 PM	A kobold lich? I'm guessing you still want to join Savael's party, yes? I, myself, would perhaps do away with the lich, due to it's powerful natural abilities, but I suppose it could work. I'll leave it up to Savael, if that's the group you're still planning on joining.
Pipers Youth 07-16-05, 08:05 PM	I personally liked the Ur-priest better. It's so interesting to me, that they worship no deity, but instead steal their powers from the divine. It would of made for some great role-playing. Whenever I think of a kobold lich.....well you don't want to know.
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-16-05, 08:24 PM	..
firelizard Brad 07-18-05, 11:20 AM	Well, why should crazy humans get all the fun? Who says crazy humans are having all the fun? Malendor's a Dragon :P Ok seriously Khaira, mind if I join your little party too? I'd be Malendor's companion (( No not familar, just friend)) I'm very low level. My powers are basically being able to annoy everyone with my chirping and flying, Sharp little talon and fire breath. That may seem like some fairly powerfull weapons, but when your the size of a house cat how much harm can you do? ;) I'd mostly stay with Malendor, perferably on his shoulders since they make such a nice perch, I'd only talk to others if need be and I promise not to eat much.
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-18-05, 07:06 PM	In case you don't notie my edited posts, I've decided to go back to the Ur-Priest Vzerii. I thought it over. No more problems. Swashbuckler 9/ Ur-Priest 5

Pipers Youth 08-01-05, 02:46 AM	Well folks, it doesn't look like the Trial of Khaira is moving fast, so essentially, were in for a long wait. Not wasted time though, let me assure you. I'm hoping that I can catch the Dm, and start running over plans. That is..if I catch her. That reminds me, if anyone has any questions about the adventure, or wanting to join, please feel free to instant message me. My account is located in my profile. Also got some news. I don't know why I haven't found this sooner, but browsing the Forgotten Realms boards, I found a web site called Candlekeep.com. It's home to Ed Greenwood, and has alot of great interaction features. I can't begin to tell you all the stuff, so your just going to have to check it out yourselves. http://candlekeep.com/images/sitegfx/candlekeep_banner1.jpg
JudeSedai 08-01-05, 11:09 AM	We'll wait, Piper, I'm sure. ....'s not every day I get to play Xer the way I'll get to play him in this. *wanders back over to the Silver Lyre*
Taeldrin Laesrash 08-01-05, 11:17 AM	Hey! No advertising!
Pipers Youth 08-01-05, 11:03 PM	Hey! No advertising! Suddenly a voluptuous drow priestess appears in the thread. Her face twisted in anger, and her eyes, more red than usual. From her leathers her slender ebony hands go, and pullng a nasty looking whip, each six tassels ending in blood stained barbs. *Whip cracks down near Taeldrin* "What's that, you pile of Rothe dung?! I may advertise anywhere I please!" Then looking back to the Candlekeep logo, her eyes suddenly tear up, as she hugs to her bosum several novels of Ed Greenwood.
Taeldrin Laesrash 08-02-05, 09:27 AM	I'm not talking about you, spider-kisser. I'm talking about JudeSedai, seeing as the Silver Lyre is of no relation to this. By the way, I don't think he's the best of novelists.
JudeSedai 08-02-05, 12:29 PM	I'm not talking about you, spider-kisser. I'm talking about JudeSedai, seeing as the Silver Lyre is of no relation to this. By the way, I don't think he's the best of novelists. I happen to think he's pretty good, actually -- better than some. Piper -- I realized my err when Taeldrin pointed out and adjusted the post accordingly. I'm sorry if you got a bit confused by that.
Khaira 08-10-05, 01:59 AM	I'm not talking about you, spider-kisser. I'm talking about JudeSedai, seeing as the Silver Lyre is of no relation to this. By the way, I don't think he's the best of novelists. Settle down
Taeldrin Laesrash 08-10-05, 09:53 AM	I'll settle down when Pipers Youth settles down. And I'm sorry I called you a spider-kisser, Piper.
Pipers Youth 08-10-05, 07:58 PM	Huh? Oh, my fault. I thought you were talking to me about advertising, though you'd be right. I'm just sharing some Realms lore, that's all.
Khaira 08-10-05, 08:08 PM	Here's a thought: Why don't you BOTH settle down. I'd really hate to have two players at each other's throats before the adventure even starts.
Darshendros 08-11-05, 01:00 AM	Darn. I was gonna place my money on the spider-kisser too.
Khaira 10-24-05, 03:23 PM	The Trial of Khaira is finally, at long last, done. I'm looking at starting this thread relatively soon. Not this week, since this is my crazy, psychotic, jam-packed, no-time-to-even-breathe week ... oh, wait, that's my every single week! ;) Seriously, though, this is my week of the dreaded mid-term's, so I really don't have time to start it this week. I want to know, though, if those participants involved will have time to participate in this thread if I start it next week (10/31 or 11/1) Here is the list of the all the inividuals that are with all the little groups: The Drow of Menzoberran Led by Niura Ma'hazzen Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. 10 rogue/3 assassin.(Played by Darshendros) Drizavin Ma'Hazzen, dragelolth, and son of the Matron(Also played by Darshendros) Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Extremely tentatively, because of lack of history AND any information ... Sjach'maurg, half-shadow dragon drow ranger(Played by Arshes) Other not so savory individuals yet to be announced Khaira's Group Led by Khaira Golddigger Dwarf/Rocky (Agudo) Malendor/Brad (The loveable, huggable Ruthia!) Bonze (Myranthor) Strect Bluebeard (Dandrie Swift) Nameless (?) Paladin (Lolita) Savael's Group Led by none other than Savael Hilkor Dandrie Swift Taledrin's Swashbuckle'ish character I think that's everybody ... let me know if I missed someone.
Taeldrin Laesrash 10-24-05, 06:25 PM	Just for the record, her name's Vzerii til Corrinea, ignoring the rest of her name and titles.
ruthia 10-24-05, 06:36 PM	Mal and Brad checking in. Hey Khaira, do use both a future favor and Kill Malendor off would yah? ;)

JudeSedai 10-25-05, 10:40 AM	I'm here, with Xer in tow. Don't kill him off, there would be continuity issues ^_^ Awww, Ruthia, why kill off Mal? Just 'cause he goes psycho-crazy and tries to eat people.... Anyhoo. Khaira, poke me and let me know if you need any more help for the "good" guys....or potentially another villian for the not-drow group (I could wrangle up a few nasty Sharrans I have lying around, I think).
Khaira 10-25-05, 02:47 PM	I'm here, with Xer in tow. Don't kill him off, there would be continuity issues ^_^ Anyhoo. Khaira, poke me and let me know if you need any more help for the "good" guys....or potentially another villian for the not-drow group (I could wrangle up a few nasty Sharrans I have lying around, I think). Yes, please don't kill Xer ... some people might be sad in the future. Or something. As for additional characters ... I'm not sure how many more people Piper or Savael needs. I think Savael might need a character or two more. Maybe I'll just let them post for everyone to see if they need/desire more people. *hint, hint, prod, prod* As for the supposedly good people, I might need a person or two if everyone doesn't follow through on that side. Myranthor, for example, I'm not sure about; I'm severely hoping that he's still alive, but I haven't heard from him for ... gosh ... two or three months.
ruthia 10-25-05, 05:23 PM	I saw Myran online briefly about two weeks ago. I think he's just past his RPing stage of life unfortunatly...though he may prove me wrong and reappear suddenly......... But untill that happy moment I wouldn't count on him.
JudeSedai 10-25-05, 09:03 PM	I saw Myran online briefly about two weeks ago. I think he's just past his RPing stage of life unfortunatly...though he may prove me wrong and reappear suddenly......... But untill that happy moment I wouldn't count on him. ....its a stage?! :OMG! ....I so missed a memo.
ruthia 10-25-05, 09:08 PM	Same here Jude...always wondered why I hung on so long...Someone forgot to tell me I was suppose to grow out of this! :P
JudeSedai 10-25-05, 10:20 PM	Nah! That's just a myth. *wanders over to the boxes of characters to dust one off for use*
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-25-05, 10:34 PM	Thok the Random walks into the OOC thread, dressed in his OOC suit, carefully hiding something behind his back. He must be still carrying his player within, and thus speaks on Dlaeh's behalf: "Myranthor is simply not in the disposition to roleplay online these days. We still hope it will change, since no matter how you turn it, he's {one of?} the best in what he does. Still, would m'lady Khaira care for another character on her side? I have one... errr... candidate here. If there's place, i'll PM his info to Khaira, since posting it publicly might ruin it. If his airborne conversation with Khaira ends in a completely different way from what we're counting on, or if m'lady rules that it never happened, then wither then character and/or the character's allegiance might change; but for now we're hoping for this here gnome - " - At that pont he pulls the bald-headed little guy from behind his back, showing everyone the character who defended Swiftwing at the trial, then hides it back before it can say anything - " - to be the one, and Khaira herself to be the one he would follow. Thancue." With that the orc bows, and walks away. As he turns, the gnome cannot be seen where it would logically be. Nor do Thok's own hands, which were supposed to be holding the gnome behind his back, appear to be there. Infact, at this point, Thok seems to have no back side whatsoever, and when he finally leaves the room, it's hard for the remaining onlookers to say whether he actually exited theyr midst, or merely turned to them a facet whose level of non-existance is higher than that of the rest of him.
Khaira 10-25-05, 11:58 PM	I have no problem with a queer, little gnome who coincidentally saved Khaira's life. :) As for Myranthor ... well, if he has spontaneously decided to desert everyone in all the threads that he's currently involved in ... well, that's just rude and inconsiderate, plain and simple. I guess if he doesn't reply by the time we give this thread a start, I'll have to consider him MIA. Of course, that'll mean both Savael and Khaira will be out an individual.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-26-05, 03:07 AM	(>_>) "Queer? I'm not queer. I'ma perfectly streight gnome. Infact, just a year or two ago, under the command of sir Drindin, i've made a solid attempt of impregnating two human females, in full accordance with the Godess' will... or atleast i think it was in accordance to her will. Hmm. Oh well, Khaira is a better leader than Drindin anyway. See, i know this, because that... that thing that sometimes happens in my head - it only happened to me with Drindin after i traveled with him for countless days; but now - now it happened to me almost the second Khaira spoke to me! Well, no, more like almos the second i tried to speak back. Myeah. Kinda makes ya ponder. So say, what's for dinner? Not me, right? I mean he's not that kind of roc, is he?" (<_<)
Khaira 10-28-05, 02:01 PM	Nah. Swiftwing much better prefers to devour Agudo's, Keldorn's, and arrow-firing gnomes. He especially likes to devour those who attack Lady Khaira. :P
Pipers Youth 10-28-05, 05:17 PM	Finally! You don't know how gleeful I am that The Trial of Khaira has reached its ending. All the while I've been reading my share of drow based novels, and absorbing every little detail! I've become more of a drow each day! Well not the kind of way where I carry around hidden daggers, and lurk in the shadows...but nonetheless, I am ready! I propose we start the hunt in November, so I can fill in some info for the drow group. Like all things, if everything goes smoothly, and it will! Everything should play out like a book. Like Khaira, these past weeks have been filled with distractions, and now I will to my up most to be present. This should prove a challenge juggling two story lines. That reminds me, why didn't somebody pinch me for letting Treachery lag! I've missed so much, but I have all weekend to catch up. *Rises a five headed snakewhip, serpentine eyes glaring out, and lashes you* "Let the Hunt Begin!"
Agudo Archmage 10-28-05, 05:51 PM	Khaira Nah. Swiftwing much better prefers to devour Agudo's, Keldorn's, and arrow-firing gnomes. He especially likes to devour those who attack Lady Khaira. The Gnome :help: Agudo :blink: Keldorn :fight!: Piper *Rises a five headed snakewhip, serpentine eyes glaring out, and lashes you* :shocked: Well Piper glad to have you back.....hmmmm Less reading more posting I would say :)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-31-05, 03:57 AM	The Gnome :help: Agudo :blink: Keldorn :fight!:The other gnome :angelhide :thumbsup: So, shall we begin?
Khaira 10-31-05, 01:10 PM	I still need Darshendros, who is playing two of the drow characters in Piper's group, to respond. Arshes (who hasn't even made any correspondence with me), is going to be considered not a part of this storyline. If he actually responds soon, i may consider him. I also need Lolita, Dandrie Swift, and Savael to post here before I can start the in character thread. So, our list of individuals who are gracing us with their presence during the storyline are: The Drow of Menzoberran Led by Niura Ma'hazzen Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. 10 rogue/3 assassin. Played by Darshendros. Tentative Drizavin Ma'Hazzen, dragelolth, and son of the Matron(Also played by Darshendros) Tentative Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Extremely tentatively, because of lack of history AND any information ... Sjach'maurg, half-shadow dragon drow ranger. Played by Arshes. As of this moment, is booted Other not so savory individuals yet to be announced (to be probably played by me) Khaira's Group Led by Khaira Golddigger Dwarf/Rocky (Agudo) Malendor/Brad (The loveable, huggable Ruthia!) Bonze. Played by Myranthor. For all appearances, he is also gone Strect Bluebeard (Dandrie Swift) Tentative Nameless (?) Paladin (Lolita) Tentative Savael's Group Led by none other than Savael Who still needs to respond Hilkor, also played by Myranthor This character, too, is no longer participating Dandrie Swift Tentative Taledrin's Swashbuckle'ish character Hm ... this means Savael's group only has two people in it. Or one person playing if Dandrie doesn't respond. Hmm... :mymy:
Savael 10-31-05, 04:52 PM	Urgh... *knocks some dust off the old pair of claw-bracers.* It's been a while ya'll, but fear not... Savael is still online and fully prepeared to go on with the hunt as planned. How many players do we have so far, exactly?
Khaira 10-31-05, 07:00 PM	My list above was somewhat confusing, I'm sure. Here is a list of individuals whom I can rely on (that is, whom have responded thus far) to participate in this thread. The Drow of Menzoberran Niura Ma'hazzen Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Other not so savory individuals yet to be announced (to be probably played by me) Khaira's Group Khaira Golddigger Dwarf/Rocky, played by Agudo Malendor/Brad, played by Ruthia The gnome (also known as "Adept"), played by Quathmoir Savael's Group Savael Vzerii til Corrinea, played by Taledrin Yes, that is it. Two or three people in each group. Sad, isn't it? Myranthor so rudely and inconsiderately decided to ditch everyone without so much of a word of notice or anything. Arshes, to my knowledge, hasn't responded in the sleightest. Lolita, Darshendros, and Dandrie Swift have also not yet replied. I'm thinking that, perhaps, I'm going to have dig out a bunch of old characters, upgrade them, and distribute them, as much as I would so very loathe to do that. Any ideas, suggestions, comments from anyone?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 10-31-05, 10:15 PM	You forgot to include the gnome in Khaira's team! And who's playing the drow group's leader? If no better solutions come by the time we're otherwise ready, i'll throw Zincaller or Stfu Catsdill in with Savael's team. I want Myrrrrrrr! :={
Taeldrin Laesrash 10-31-05, 10:48 PM	Miss Ma'Hazzen is played by Piper's Youth, last I recalled. And if its necessary, I'll play a second character.
Khaira 10-31-05, 11:14 PM	The leaders of each respective group are in bold; I thought it would be pretty self-explanatory that way. To be completely explicit, however... Niura Ma'Hazzen leads the drow from Menzoberran Khaira leads the heroes Savael leads his own little rag-tag group of thugs and other unsavory individuals. Under normal circumstances, Taledrin, playing a second character may help. Under the present circumstances, however, I don't know how much of a help that would be. Sorry I forgot to include the most intriguing gnome! DM's Note As for being ready to start by the first week of November - which happens to be this week - I highly doubt that's going to happen. Until we get more involvement, I think I will postpone the opening of this adventure
ruthia 11-01-05, 06:11 PM	(The loveable, huggable Ruthia!) Quoted for so much truthery! :cool:

Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-02-05, 02:02 AM	Yo Savael, whom would you rather have in your team: a low-charisma kobold bard, or a particularily vile, psychotic character? :=D
Savael 11-02-05, 03:55 PM	Hm, a low-charisma kobold bard or an evil psycopath? Well, actually - the idea of a kobold bard doesn't sound so bad - Just as long as you can kill and Deekin traits in him, he sounds fine with me. Bard on!, Your friendly neighbourhood Hans
Sonnica 11-03-05, 06:01 PM	Never come across a concept like freedom of destiny before and would like to give it ago, the idea that you have going looks really interesting and I'd like to take part if your willing to accept a novice. I've been working on a character concept for the last couple of days and I'd like to chuck it into the melting pot to see if it would be OK and of enough interest. I think it would probably fit best in Savael's group. Basic concept is a Fey'ri Sorceror/Cleric of Loviator would probably spend most of the time in the form of a sun elf. To get the whole thing straight I'd be looking at her having a level split of about 7/4 plus the fey'ri level adjustment. Would this work for what you have in mind, would it fit in with Savael's group and I'd also appreciate any advice you can offer on anything I might need to look at tinkering with if this idea is OK. If you don't think this character would work I'd welcome any thoughts you have on what might work Sonnica
Khaira 11-04-05, 12:04 AM	Since it's been several pages since I posted this warning/notification/DM notice, I thought it would be a good idea for anyone else who comes exploring. I will not accept any homebrews that are super powered (this includes abilities to planar jump 10/day, shoot balls of energy that do 20d6 damage 5 times per day, and the like). Nor will I accept homebrews that are pointlessly absurd. This includes species from another planet/dimension/whatever with a different skin color, or impossible relationships, like a human earning respect from drow. If you have a homebrew, there has to be balances for your particular homebrew and if the homebrew is merely for cosmetics, I will say no. If you want to play a homebrew that is reasonable, not super powered, and not absolutely unreasonable, I can work with you. Let me know the statistics of your homebrew and we can see if we can work something out with one of the sub-DMs (Pipers Youth or Savael). Now...with the characters and all, I think it would be best if, when creating characters (or modifying), that your characters are not over 15th level. I would prefer 12'ish level characters but, in order to give a little freedom and diversity, I'm going to say 12-15th level, and that *is* including level adjustments of powerful races or templates. After all, we do need to have a balance of character levels here. Addendum on the above ruling: Under special circumstances, I will allow individuals to play characters over those level requirements. It must, however, be okay'ed by both myself and the leader of whatever group you desire to join (Pipers Youth or Savael). Additionally, if you are playing a significantly high level character, I will also ask that you tone down the powerfulness sleightly when putting that character into play in this thread. Or, at the very least, tone the power of your character down comparatively to the powers of the characters around you. Sonnica - where is the Fey'ri race from? I have to know about this race before I can give a definitive "Yes" or "No". As for advice ... well, the Freedom of Destiny thread (at the top of the first page on this forum) is probably one of the most important documents that you can read and know about. The rest I'm sure you'll get a hang of as time goes on.
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-04-05, 09:50 AM	Fey're is at least found in Races of Faerun, and probably in the Monsters of Faerun book. And concerning levels, should the groups with fewer characters have higher levels?
Sonnica 11-04-05, 05:53 PM	As noted in the last post the Fey'ri (demonfey) appear in Races of Faerun. The race description reads as follows: The result of four noble houses of sun elves breeding with demons in an attempt to strenghten their bloodline. They were discovered and imprisoned in a series of caverns below the High Forest and were released in 1369DR when Hellgate Keep was destroyed. A Fey'ri is patient, calculating and suspicious but her fiendish bloodline makes her prone to undeserved acts of cruelty and rage. Tend to see them selves as elves and do not appreciate the way in which the breeding has corrupted them yet at the same time hate elves for how they have been treated. Elves hate the Fey'ri and will be killed by most elves if discovered Game info: Favoured class: Sorceror +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Con Speed 30ft, When in winged form they may fly at a speed of 40ft with a maneuverability of poor Darkvision 60ft Lowlight vision Immunity to sleep spells and effects +2 will save vs enchantment spells and effects Alter self at will to assume any humanoid form indefinately +2 racial bonus on Bluff, Hide, Listen, Search and Spot Elven Blood Native Outsider Demonic Abilities: 4 of charm person (1/day), clairaudience (1/d), damage reduction 10/+1*, darkness (1/d) detect thoughts (1/d), dimension door (1/d)*, enervation (1/d)*, fire resistance 10, suggestion (1/d), +2 save v electricity, +2 save v poison * No more than one of these and means lvl adjustment is +3 rather than +2 I know the roleplaying information provided above is not of primary importance in Freedom of Destiny but hopefully it will be enough info to help you decide whether the race is suitable. If you feel it is unsuitable I will look at coming up with another concept
ruthia 11-04-05, 07:00 PM	Hi Sonnica. Just piping in to give you a bit of info. FoD..or Freedom of Destiny... is not about lack of stats and RPing numbers. It's acctaully a consecpt designed to protect and guideline players who do not uses numbers and Stats. I happen to be one of those players, I wouldn't know a stat if it bite me in the butt! :p
Sonnica 11-04-05, 07:21 PM	Thanks for that Ruthia. I'm more used to the tradional RPG side of things but this has peaked my interest. I'm using the stat thing as a basis for the character concept I have (old habits die hard) and given that what I've seems a bit unusual I felt it was probably the best way of getting the idea across along with the bits of histoty etc from the books. If I'm completely off base please let me know
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-04-05, 07:47 PM	Don't worry, Sonnica. You're not the only newcomer who was a bit surprised by the dicelessness of this place. However,, the history ofthe Fey're may come in handy, as this adventure takes place in the Realms.
ruthia 11-04-05, 07:54 PM	No Sonnica your right on. The history lets us know the char better. As well as detailed discriptions and what not. And I'll give yuou your officall WELCOME TO THE MOP :cool:
Savael 11-05-05, 02:48 AM	Hm. Well, Sonnica, I must confess, your charrie sounds intriguing - to say the least. A Fey-ri devotee of Loviatar? I think it would be great fun to see her in action! Welcome aboard, Sav
Sonnica 11-05-05, 06:02 PM	Thanks for that, Sav & Ruthia. I'll just wait for Khaira to give the official OK before introducing Jezra kael Hal'gradeth formally Sonnica
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-05-05, 06:53 PM	Stfu Catsdill is a notoriously irritating kobold who tumbles through life like a slanky, getting by thanks mostly to his ability to screw with people's heads. His absolute indifference to most concepts of image, honor, self-respect and the like also helps. That's my first neutral char, and my first non-pious char, so bear with me here. Where a bard would inspire such things as greatness, courage and the like, Stfu suffices in provoking those things. Where a bard would use personal charm to get his way, Stfu merely annoys people into "seeing things his way", and where a bard would fascinate, Stfu would simply brainscrew people into a stupor... or into utter confusion. His past consists of embarassing occurances that never really bothered him, and near-lethal escapes from enraged individuals and crowds. The only noteworthy things are his childhood, of which i'll tell you at some point, and his attempts at beign a good priests, of which i will not tell, lest i compromise the public immage of the Sewrneoughmix religeon. After this unmentionable period of his life he became disillusioned with "heavy religeousness", and found a much "easier" deity to follow. With the extra time he got as a perfectly lay follower of Wyvernspur, he's been developing his annoying, mindscrewing techneques towards new heights, becoming a Mindbender. Although fame and glory are far from his agenda {or would be far from it, if he had one}, his ability to affect the mindset of crowds and individuals has gained him quite a name in some regions. In some of these regions, his name was lost soon after being earned, due to his complete inability to {and carelessness about} hold an image, or maybe because of his constantly changing affiliations; in other regions, however, the mere utterance of his name in a conversation is still enough to greatly enrage, insult, or even render a person speecheless.

Its function is alleged to give the wearer a perfect controll of his mouth, and sometimes also of another's. The thankful mage felt it would, atleast partially, safeguard Stfu for constantly swallowing his own foot. The wearer recieves a +4 bonus to Move Silently and all interactional, verbal skills, and +2 to wisdom. 5 times per day, the wearer can attempt cheating the ring, by pointing the finger on which the ring is worn at a spot or object, and calling his own {the wearer's} name. A successful Bluff check against 25 {without the ring's bonus} means the trick worked, and the effect is like a Silence spell cast by a mage of 15th level, except the target is always a single creature, rather than an area. While the Silence effect is active {and the rings is thus "working" on controlling the mouth of another, rather than the wearer's}, all bonuses to skills and wisdom are halved. Finally, if the wearer comes under any effect that reduces one or more of his interactional skills to 75% or less, the ring will automatically silence him, untill the skills are restored. There is no saving throw and no resistance applies, but taking the ring off ends the effect. Caster level: 3; Prerequisites: Silence, owl's Wisdom, Eagle's Splendor; Market price: 26000. Jezra kael Hal'gradeth If i'm not mistaken, "kael" means something like "in case of death" in drow, lol! {from "ka", meaning "if", and "el", meaning "die"}
Sonnica 11-07-05, 06:34 PM	Didn't realise that, unfortunately my Drow is a little rusty at the moment. Savael I'm trying to get Jezra completed, I have the background etc more or less set, but the sorceror/cleric idea doesn't quite fit. Still sticking with the Fey'ri/Loviator idea but can see two ways of developing it either Wizard/Arcane Devotee or Cleric/Maiden of Pain (PG to Faerun), would appreciate your advice on which would fit in best with the rest of the party. The Cleric/Maiden of Pain would certainly offer no scruples or morales that you mention looking for in the cleric but this is something given the background that will be equally true of Wizard/Arcane Devotee. Hope to post the background in a couple of days.
Khaira 11-08-05, 12:49 AM	Ooooh, lookie at all the posts that I've not paid attention to. Bad Khaira! Bad, bad, bad DM! Ahem. Yes, well, moving to what I meant to state in this post: Sonnica- I did finally have a chance to look at the Fey'ri in Races of Faerun and have concluded that it looks fine. So full speed forward ... woot! Quathmoir- Well, that is a pretty bard ... hey, does that mean Khaira has competition now? :eek: e are gain So it looks like we have some more people converted to this good, wholesome, family fun adventure of blood and guts and gore and betrayal and all of that good stuff. Heh heh. We might even be able to start this soon ... if only I knew Piper Youth's state of condition .... ho-hum. Anyway, I'll look over what we will now have for participants, and post an updated list tommorrow. Keep up the good work! :cheer:
ruthia 11-08-05, 06:35 PM	We might even be able to start this soon ... if only I knew Piper Youth's state of condition .... ho-hum. Slow roasted, with baraque sauce..... :embarrass Oh wait you meant HOW he was, not how to cook him.... :P
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-08-05, 07:34 PM	Hey, don't worry, Khaira's group still gets the gnome; Stfu is for Sava's bunch. :=D Besides, he's not really a bard by anything other than game mechanics. He's an orator, a provoker, an annoyer... Think of a dude who always appears on every protesting demonstration, rgardless of the cause {he has none of his own anyway}, and speaks for the masses for the heck of it, amusing everyone in the process. About the same time as we start, i'll also post a similar semi-charsheet of the gnome... and feel the OOC channel with panicked screams! :angelhide Sonnica: May i oil your drow to protect her from the rust? I'm exceptionally good at oiling drow - i even have a recomendation from one young matron. :D
JudeSedai 11-09-05, 09:10 AM	I liiiiiiiive! I promise. Khaira, I still have a couple of characters....uh.....somewhere whom I could toss in if needsbe.....a particularly nasty elven wizard (Methesalee Kirûn) and any number of "good" characters.
Savael 11-09-05, 01:54 PM	I must admit I'm leaning more towards the idea of the Cleric / Maiden of Pain variant. I'm looking forward to reading her background, once it becomes available. Oh puckernuts I can't wait for this thing to start! Khaira: I have some generaly fleshed-out charries I could throw in if my party seems a bit thin. I just want to get this thing airborne as soon as possible. I have a feeling it's going to be great. Yours truly, The friendly neighbourhood Savael
Khaira 11-09-05, 03:12 PM	Khaira, I still have a couple of characters....uh.....somewhere whom I could toss in if needsbe.....a particularly nasty elven wizard (Methesalee Kirûn) and any number of "good" characters. Yes, ma'am, I know you have an UBER load of "good" characters. Yes, I did just say uber load. Don't look at me like that! Oh puckernuts I can't wait for this thing to start! Khaira: I have some generaly fleshed-out charries I could throw in if my party seems a bit thin. I just want to get this thing airborne as soon as possible. I have a feeling it's going to be great. "Puckernuts". I'll have to add that to my list of vocabulary! :cool: And, yes, I can't wait for this to start, too. I am very excited about the general storyline in addition to what I'm going to be able to do. But I divulge too much... Go figure, of course, that just when I feel like I'm ready to start, things just happen to get all hectic and stuff. Large numbers of missing characters ... 3 exams in five days ... the end of the world. You know ... that kind of thing. However, it is my hope that I should be able to open up the IC thread in a week or two at the most. At least that would enable certain drow priestess to get all lined up and going ... it would also be nice if the player of that certain drow priestess would post here. Ahem.
Sonnica 11-09-05, 05:04 PM	Savael Thanks for the recommendation. Will finish off the background and hopefully post in the next couple of days. Circumstanses have meant that I've been unable to do any work on Jezra. Quathmoir Is the recommendation of a Drow matron a prietess of Loviator? They have such a primitive culture that doesn't truly appreciate the finer points of life!
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-09-05, 07:23 PM	Savael, I don't think you need more people with the addition of the Fey'ri and the Kobold, that's four, as large as Khaira's party. The drow need some more people, though. I'm thinking there'd be some interesting options for the drow if the Drow only restrictions are lightened.
ruthia 11-09-05, 08:17 PM	Savael, I don't think you need more people with the addition of the Fey'ri and the Kobold, that's four, as large as Khaira's party. The drow need some more people, though.

I'm playing two and Agudo appears to be playing two... ;)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-10-05, 07:50 AM	Look, if nothing else works, i can throw in Treemmouphindar into the drow party. Naturally, it'll mean he's either a spy for some good side, or, for himself, vigilant style. But i think it's fair, considering the precious little person Khaira's group has from me. So yeah, if the drow group ends up as the one holding us back, lemme throw in Treemmouphindar to solve it. After all - what's a drow group without a drider? Khaira: How about an updated list of chars? Sonnica: I'm not sure a priestess of what this matron originally was, but after my oiling, she was more than ready to convert to any faith of my choice, tee-hee. ;=}
JudeSedai 11-10-05, 10:10 AM	::cackles quietly:: What? Oh. Sorry. I shouldn't, I know. I really do know. I shouldn't. So any word on Piper, or is he so angry at all of us that he up and disappeared? (Nerts, Khaira, I knew we shouldn't have handed his mercenary's pieces to him!)
Khaira 11-10-05, 01:04 PM	Khaira: How about an updated list of chars? AHH! I was going to do that a long time ago. Argh! :banghead: The Drow of Menzoberran Niura Ma'hazzen Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Mystery Person (Played by Khaira) Khaira's Group Khaira Rocky, played by Agudo Malendor, Brad, played by Ruthia The gnome (also known as "Adept"), played by Quathmoir Savael's Group Savael Vzerii til Corrinea, played by Taledrin Stfu Catsdill (played by Quathmoir) Jezra kael Hal'gradethn (Played by Sonnica) And I beleive that this is the extent of the additions. Right? The drow need some more people, though. I'm thinking there'd be some interesting options for the drow if the Drow only restrictions are lightened. It is not 'drow-only', but it is heavily limited to drow and other like species. Only under the most, extremely special, divine intervention'esque circumstances am I allowing humans or other "good" races. Someone could technically, I suppose, play a "good" race that is a trap springer or other such thing for the drow. Speaking of drow... WHERE'S PIPER?
Sonnica 11-10-05, 05:16 PM	My earliest of memories are of darkness and pain. I do not know the year of my birth or how long I spent in our prison below what I know now has been named Hellgate Keep. It was not named that when my people, the Fey'ri, were imprisoned there, but that is before the time of my memories and I do not care to listen to the history of that time. I digress, we lived for years in darkness before the release, and in that darkness we survived and grew strong. This strength came from the pain that the darkness that causes the part of us that is of the elf to cry for the light of the stars and moon and contact with the world outside our prison, and from the capricious cruel nature that is common to the majority of my race, social position is gained by climbing on the backs of others. I among the Fey'ri am unique in appreciating the vitality of this relationship, I am became strong because I was able to learn from my pain and build it into my strength. Pain is a way of life for the Fey'ri but my people do not appreciate this, pain is as inherent and vital to life as the air which we breath. Living in a world that could not understand the fundamentals of its existence lead to my life becoming increasingly frustrating, I had to find a way to manifest this realisation in a way in which it would enable me to survive and thrive. I explored these feelings and felt the calling of a being of such power that I could not fully comprehend the magnitude of this being but she confirmed the truth of my understanding. I dedicated myself to the service of Loviator. This faith came to be the core of my being and I became increasingly isolated from my people who had descended into the worship Ghaunadaur, a drow deity with authority over oozes, slimes and jellies. Whilst my people had previously fallen from the path of the elf to fall so far as to worship of a deity of the drow was intorable. I determined that I could not continue to live amoung my people, I could not fulfil the purposes that my mistress had for me in such a decayed environment but I had to bide my time as there was at that time no way of escape. The pain of being unable to perform my appointed tasks served to strengthen me and steel my resolve that my course was right and just. After what seemed interminable waiting the release came and the chance for me to devote myself to my purpose came. I left the world of the Fey'ri behind to undertake the work assigned to me, I was determined that I would only return to this world at such time as I was strong enough to wipe the blight of the Fey'ri from Faerun as they have now fallen beyond the redemption that Loviator offers. In the years since the release I have grown in power and stature within the faith of Loviator and travel where my lady directs. I have discovered that the world of Faerun is as cruel and capricious as that of the Fey'ri, they are not prepared to accept me because of who I am. But this only serves to strengthen me and confirm that through pain we become strong and through this strength we are equipped to serve. I have been called evil but I do not see that this is the case my role is to provide the strength that people need to survive and this can only come from an understanding and experience of pain. I must close at this point except to say that my mistress has ordered me to seek out a Captain Savael and to aid him in his current endeavours. At this time I wait in Brandenhall filling my days working for for a petty despot by the name of Kemphris. Whilst the man is beneath my contempt I have to be able to support the work that I have to undertake and the pay is good.
Savael 11-11-05, 05:46 AM	Hmm - I like your background post, Sonnicia. I'm certain Loviatar has gained an apt and dangerous follower in you. I guess I should whip around and post some more background info soon, but right now I'm a bit busy, and all I can do is wait for this thread to start. In any case, I'll see what I can manage - Read ta all later! - The friendly neighbourhood Savael
Pipers Youth 11-11-05, 11:33 AM	*Lifts his head up in the air, and cackles manically*Why, I am here darlings! I was also here lying in the shadow of this thread, where else would I wander?! It has come to my deliberate attention, that the drow party has been dramatically reduced to a measly.......2? Pray tell, when I was first here, this was the current listing. Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. 10 rogue/3 assassin.(Played by Darshendros) Drizavin Ma'Hazzen, dragelolth, and son of the Matron(Also played by Darshendros) Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) Extremely tentatively, because of lack of history AND any information ... Sjach'maurg, half-shadow dragon drow ranger(Played by Arshes) Other not so savory individuals yet to be announced I can understand that Arshes has been removed, but why the butchery to the others? Last time I checked they were all attentive. In Lolth's sacred name, what's going on? I cant lead a group of two strong on a march to the night above, without being slaughtered on my way there, or against Khaira's quite capable group. If its any constellation, I'm going to have to hunt down the others, before we start. Or dare I say, start recruiting more drow. If that's the case or not, I would at least have one more drow with me. (Or I would have this group back) Chaszmyr T'sarran of Bregan D'aerthe. 10 rogue/3 assassin. Played by Darshendros. Tentative Drizavin Ma'Hazzen, dragelolth, and son of the Matron(Also played by Darshendros) Tentative Xerafeln Karan,wanderer(Played by JudeSedai) I fear this thread might be delayed longer. *grumbles* Khaira, if you catch me online, send me an Aim, or if not a private message on this current situation.
Khaira 11-11-05, 01:37 PM	I think you need to check again, I'm afraid. Darshendros has not responded. Dandrie Swift has not responded. Arshes has not responded. Myranthor has not responded. Lolita has not responded. It would be ridiculous, pointless, and setting this thread up for failure to rely on people whom, from what it appears, are not going to be here. Thus all of the above individuals have been removed from the list. If they were to come back, respond, and let me know that they are, in fact, going to be here, then I would re-add them. But for now, I am not relying them to be here, since they have not responded.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-11-05, 05:35 PM	Piper, do i have your {and Khaira's} permission to insert Treemmouphindar Waer'honglath into the drow party? Also, do i have Savael's final aproval on Stfu? If both answers are yes, then we only need one more player for the drow group {which will make each group have 4 members}, and we can begin - right?
ruthia 11-11-05, 05:39 PM	*hmm...* Ok well hows this. Since Brad and Mal are old hat for me and easy as day to play I offer up myself for a challange. If we are unable to get another Drow for the Drow party, someone throw me a premade and point me in the right direction. I'll take a crack at it.......
Savael 11-11-05, 06:15 PM	Quathmoir: Not to be picky or anything, but you said you had another character up your sleeve along with Catsdill? If it's not too much to ask, perhaps you could present him as well? I'd love to have a good look at both alternatives before making any final decision.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-12-05, 10:57 AM	Ah yes, you've met Zincaller before, right? :devil: He's a discended wfa`mixan rogue, assasin and heretic. Problem is i never got around to flesh out the Heretic PrC just yet. Essentially, is a freethinking spiritual seeker of sorts, who gradually shapes out his herecy by following multiple deities, each of which must aprove of his herecy {id est the herecy must not conflict, and must somewhat match with each deity's dogma/portfolio}. They are usually hunted by the mainstream churches of those deities which they follow. Powerwise, a heretic gets no low-level divine spells, but a substantial amount of high-level ones, and a single domain for each deity he follows {the higher his level, the greater the number of religeons whose facets can be worked into his herecy}. Zincaller is CE, dangerously misguided, and misguiding himself further and further in his madness. While the Mixy appear as monsters to many, aspecially to those of evil nature, Zincaller is a monster indeed, and neither the evil nor the righteous are safe from becoming his "coliteral damage", or simply a plaything for his cruel fun. He is quite fond of some practices from the BoVD, but as per Khaira's house rule, this will be downplaied and not mentioned directly. Namely, he always has a Defiled Horn sewn under his skin, but should he ever use it, no one has to know how it was made, right? "Poetically", he's intended as Noulminur's nemesis. Here at the MotP, i plaied him in atleast two threads i can think of: one is the Guild of the Veiled (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=91329) {first appears in post #6}, and the other was a named something like "Onboard the Not So Good Ship [name], sailing the high seas", and took place so long ago that it can no longer be found, apparently. Anyway, if the sheer uncoreness of this {a PrC of my own making, + a race detailed in one, non-canon book} doesn'trepel you, and you'll prefer Zincaller over Stfu, i'll do my best to finish up the PrC and a semi-charsheet for him within a couple of days. :=} PS: Someone poke Piper already!
Savael 11-12-05, 05:13 PM	Well Quath, after looking at the choices put before me, I've come to this conclusion: I'll take the Zincaller I must admit I'm still quite confsued as to who and what he is, but I'm counting on you to rectify that as soon as possible - right? - God away on business? Call Hans!
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-12-05, 06:15 PM	I don't know, some home-made PrCs and races can be pretty unbalanced. Didn't Khaira say you have to check with the GM regarding homebrew material?
Khaira 11-12-05, 07:51 PM	Whoa, whoa, whoa! Who is Zincaller? Where is he from - meaning, where are his classes, etc from? Is he (it, she, he and she) completely homebrew? Do you have a character sheet for Zincaller that I could see? Or, perhaps, explanations about Zincaller's stuff. And, yes, logistically we should be able to start it if and when Piper replies. However, considering I am continuing to get swamped by exams and near-the-end-of-the-semester final projects and countless other projects that I am kicking myself for adopting, it's looking like, at the earliest, not until late this week. More realistically, early next week.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-12-05, 08:17 PM	Rogue and Assasin classes are all core. Hertic is a homebrew PrC. Basicly, if Khaira doesn't aprove the Heretic, but Savael insists on Zincaller over Stfu, i can castrate Zincaller a little to make him more core, and remove the homebrew PrC. His race, however, is quite desidively non-core. He's a wfa`mix, and a discended {aka "fallen"} one at that. I used to have a charsheet for him on Dyverside, but Dyverside is dead without backups {let's all thank Griffmark for that - THANK YOU, GRIFFMARK!}, so i figured i'll have to make a new one. At your command, i'll either strive to make it as close to the original charsheet as possible, or find a core alternative for the heretic PrC, to thus make the char more core. You mentioned "explnation about his stuff" as an alternative. Do you mean the race-specific stuff? As for disbalance, mixy are ecl, and i'll be counting that against his class level.
Agudo Archmage 11-15-05, 10:03 AM	Well Rocky ready anytime :plotting:
Khaira 11-16-05, 12:47 AM	Quathmoir- I would like some elaboration on the homebrew Heretic PrC as well as the race that you have down for Zincaller. You may PM or email me that information if you would rather have that publicly acknowledged. Sorry I've been so MIA lately, all; things are getting increasingly CRAZY on my end. I think this week should officially be named "Throw Exams and Projects at the College Student All at Once"! I'm hoping that SOON (soon being late this week or early next week) I'll be able to actually get ahead of everything. Savael- I've been working on what I told you I was working on and hope to have it sent to you by this week. Piper- Quathmoir requested your answer of "Yes" or "No" regarding a character for the drow party. Please respond.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-16-05, 06:52 PM	*throws project at Khaira* Sorry for the delay. I'm looking for a job, a lawyer, and a few other things. :=/ Shift, as we all know, happens. Yeah, i'll go do the PrC now. If someone finds my Heavy Club +3 of GimmebackdatmoneyUbastard, or my Brooch of Cheap Legal Counceling, please PM them to me or something. :mad:
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-16-05, 07:55 PM	By the way, Quathmoir, if you need a god-defying PrC, check out the Defiant from the Planar Handbook.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-16-05, 08:30 PM	Planar Handbook? Must be one of those 3.5 thingies i don't have... Thancue for the hint, but the Heretic isn't defying any gods, it only strays from the mainstream worship of any given god, starting its own religeon. Well, it starts its own religeon if it ain't hunted down first, which is much more common. I've ran into some... stuff, while stating it out, and need one of Raata-Satum's players to help me out with it. I hope to get it finished tomorrow, somewhere between beating the spit out of a certain formerly good friend, taking a walk with a certain beautyful little girl, and talking to lawyers.
Khaira 11-17-05, 10:55 PM	Take your time, Quathmoir ... I'm still waiting for some people to respond to me.
Sonnica 11-18-05, 05:10 PM	Do you need me to post some sort of character sheet for Jezra or is the background enough to be going on with?
Pipers Youth 11-19-05, 09:55 PM	WAIT! I am here. Sorry for the long delay, family business has been pressing, but onto better things! We all have to start off somewhere, so the drow will be all present in the audience chamber of House Ma'Hazzen, but no spoilers for that will all be covered in the Setting soon. As if any noble house of Mez, you are excepted to show absolute loyalty and respect to the Matron, though some of you are mere higher hands. And Quath, I'll be glad to accept your drider character, as long as you don't get into fights with the dragoleth *hehe*, and if you give me a little more info about him. Like his ties to house Ma'Hazzen. Example: Maybe he was a solider, and a cruel priestess morphed him into a drider as some form of punishment. I'm ready to start as soon as all my players, Darshendros, JudeSedai, and others acknowledge they are present and ready! And Agudo................I resent your signature with all my living being! I shall mentally tear it off the thread and stitch it onto your over bloated head! ;)
Malendor... 11-20-05, 04:17 PM	After checking himself and Brad in he looks about mumbling something about books and Agudo's backside....*
JudeSedai 11-20-05, 08:42 PM	I live! But I'll also be out of town from Tuesday 'til Sunday and I'm not sure how much (if at all) I'll be able to get on. Cross your fingers!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-20-05, 08:45 PM	Myrrr and i have been working on the Heretic PrC. It seemed like such a somple thing, as if it has always been in my mind and only needed to be statted out... Well, it isn't. The requirements alone sent us making homebrew feats, which in turn brought us >this< close to screwing with the cosmology of a certain outer plane. Altogether, while i'm/we're still gonna finish it one day, i recommend that we just keep Stfu in Sava's group, and currently write Zincaller off as too non-core even from a trusted, Khaira-licking player such as myself. ;) However, if you like Zincaller and/or dislike Stfu so much that you still want the former in the latter's stead, i'll try to finish it asap, then record the racial stuff {atleast for that a book exists somewhere}, and send him in. Now for Treemmouphindar. I'm not sure how much attention Piper could afford during his brief visit to the thread, so just to play it safe, i'll quote myself a little: I can throw in Treemmouphindar into the drow party. Naturally, it'll mean he's either a spy for some good side, or for himself - vigilant style. But i think it's fair, considering the precious little person Khaira's group has from me {if that's not obvious, i'll PM you}. As for his connection to House Ma'Hazzen, i suggestt he following: One of the other characters bought him as a slave from some unfamiliar noble female, not from Menzobarazzan, whose house symbol the buyer did not recognize. The drider so far proved to be an obedient, and very resourceful slave. I leave it to your discression which character owns him, but it'll make most sence if he's Niura's. Stats are below, more narrative info en-route to Khaira and Piper via PM. Treemmouphindar Waer'honglath male dridder Drider 8/geomancer 3/Devoted Defender 4. innitial drider level total mod Str 15 +2 17 {+3} Con 6 +2 +2 10 {--} Dex 9 +1 10 {--} Int 12 12 {+1} Wis 13 +2 +1 16 {+3} Cha 18 +1 19 {+4} Skill ranks mod total Knowlege:nature 6 +1 7 Knowlege:arcana 6 +1 7 Spot {alertness +2} 4 +2 8 Search 4 +1 5 Sence Motive 4 +2 6 Concentration 6 Jump 4 +3 7 Intimidate 2 +4 6 Profession{webweaver} 7 +1 8 HD: 5d8+18+3d6+4d12 hp: 22+18 +14 +23 =77 BAB +9 fort +8 ref +6 will {6+2wis=} +8 Special stuff: Web-spinning {non-combat}; caster level equivalent: 6 {cleric 3/sorcerer 3}, +3 levels from Geomancer PrC go to Sorcerer; Treated as clr3/src6.

I hope it doesn't matter too much, considering this is mostly a freeform adventure.
Savael 11-21-05, 10:29 AM	Cookin' w/charcoal and ready to rock house!
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-21-05, 02:14 PM	Quathmoir? How does your Drider character qualify for Geomancer? He stills needs to be able to cast 2nd-level Divine spells.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-21-05, 02:56 PM	The Drider monster class gives you spellcasting. Just lemme get my Secret Service... err, i mean Savage Species {ugh, this game is affecting me already} - yepp, page 163, Spells, the last paragraph concerning Driders. :=} Oh, and Sava: does that mean i can Stfu in your party? No, wait, that didnlt come out quit the way i meant it, so lemme try again: Does that mean i can play Stfu in your party? :=D
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-21-05, 04:04 PM	Does SS say the Drider casts both Arcane and Divine spells? According to my Monster Manual, it only casts arcane spells.
Khaira 11-21-05, 05:15 PM	I appreciate the analysis being applied towards Quathmoir's characters, I really do ... but it's a little overkill. This is going to be a free-form game, after all.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-21-05, 07:43 PM	Originally, it says not both, but either: Spells: All dirders have the ability to cast spells either as a cleric, sorcerer or wizard (chosen at 1st level). The drider casts spell as a character of his Hit Dice. Most drider clerics still worship Lolth and choose two domains from her list I figured the virtual spellcasting class of a drider depends on what class he used to have as a drow. Thus a multiclass sorcerer/cleric drow, for example, would make a drider whose spellcasting is of two, rather than one virtual classes. Makes me ponder, though: where does a drider's spellcasting come from, if as a drow he belonged to some completely non-spellcasting class? Hmm. As for the domains, i didn't chose those since i don't have the 3e stats for his religeon; and since the campaign is freeform, i figured i could handle his {quite humble} divine spellcasting as if it were 2e. :=} *throws project at Khaira* So, are we just waiting for the final oks from both sub-DMs and then we can start? :bounce:
Taeldrin Laesrash 11-21-05, 08:54 PM	It's nuts, but I guess it works. Geomancer only progresses one class anyway. I will now stop critiquing people's entries, unless they ask me to.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-21-05, 10:05 PM	Yepp, it does; the Sorcerer side, in his case. Hence the following line in my almost-charsheet above: caster level equivalent: 6 {cleric 3/sorcerer 3}, +3 levels from Geomancer PrC go to Sorcerer; Treated as clr3/src6. Critique is still wellcome, as i do wanna eventually learn how to make orderly charsheets for my chars, but perhaps PMs would be a better medium for that, so that the OOC room can maintain its solemn anticipation of the Three DMs' order to start. :=}
Agudo Archmage 11-23-05, 09:32 PM	We ready? What about now? Now? Ok...how about now :P

Khaira 11-26-05, 07:32 PM	Arshes- Are you actually going to be joining us on this adventure or what? Taledrin- And no, we can not start until Piper's player reponds to at least one of the 5 PMs that I've sent him. ARGH!
Pipers Youth 11-27-05, 11:33 AM	Yes we are ready now! Khaira, and Saveal, Ive both sent you the details, we can just work on it while we start this thing up. I've gotten so many private messages, I've had to clear room by deleting my short stories, whaaaa! Thus, we need to start this afore the vicious mob starts calling for blood. "Calm down you dirty sons of Rothe!" One more note, for all my greedy little drow. Don not post when the thread starts before I do. I repeat! I need to start out the setting just right before you put you characters in place, otherwise by beautiful part will be ruined, and I will become extremely unhappy. Got it?! Good, now lets turn to the first page of this book of ours. Like Sylune would say "The dragon......... Oh read my signature, I'm to lazy!

Malendor... 11-28-05, 07:22 PM	We might be ready...Savael, you are also ready to start, yes? And everyone else, yes as well? *Sitting back in his recliner, smoking a huge cigar, Malendor looks at Khaira with a casual wink* "Aye there sweet cheeks. We be ready to romp with you sweetheart." :shifty:
Agudo Archmage 11-29-05, 03:22 AM	Yaaaaaa tis clear that everyone been ready :mage: soooooooo how about now?
Savael 11-29-05, 04:02 AM	Huston, we're standing by for takeoff, over.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 11-29-05, 09:09 AM	Stfu: "Yesyesyesyes! Wheredowego?! Show me the bloody IC thread already, iwannastartitstartitstartit!" Treemmouphindar: "Xas, jalil Niura?" gnome: "Always ready!"
Niura Ma'Hazzen 11-29-05, 02:37 PM	I'm sorry, we are not ready. Myself and Khaira were having a chat last night, and we need to smooth out the details. All the sub Gms need to be on the same page before starting, and I found out that through the hard way. Dont fret, for tis patience is a virtue they say. Here is an updated list of the drow party. Niura Ma'Hazzen Xerafeln Karan,wanderer (Played by JudeSedai) Treemmouphindar (Played by our Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai) Mystery! (played by Khaira) I havn't seen Darsh around, but I want to get ahold of hom before we start, and whats the news with you Arshes? I would love to have you play with us to add more flavor. Treemmouphindar: "Xas, jalil Niura?" *Glares Coldly*.......No.......
Savael 11-29-05, 04:30 PM	I swear to the that sweet, gory God in the Waters above Heaven - if that kobold doesn't shut his trap anytime soon I'm going to do unspeakable things to him once that thread starts... ... Yeah, sooo.... Sorry about that, I'm just having a wonderful day here. Yup. Sure as sure. What seems to be the problem, Lady K?
Malendor... 11-29-05, 10:33 PM	*Walks in holding an ice pack to his black eye.* For gods sakes would you sub DM's report to her before she REALLY tries to cause some Damage.....! *Walks away grumbling.*
Savael 11-30-05, 04:10 AM	Here is the new and updated list of Savael's band: Vzerii til Corrinea - Played by Taeldrin Stfu Catsdill - played by Quathmoir Jezra kael Hal'gradeth - Played by Sonnica ... Anyone got anything to add to that last?
Khaira 11-30-05, 02:10 PM	Well, currently my problem is that I no longer have internet access, except at school, which is where I am now. Grrrrr. We're not supposed to have thunderstorms in November! But my problem with the game is that it doesn't seem as though the DMs are really ready. I do not want to have people trying to "wing it" throughout the game. I want solid plans and routes of where your parties are planning to do, where they're planning to go, etc.
Agudo Archmage 11-30-05, 02:58 PM	http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/portlongrocky.gif Artwork copyright © 2003, Gordon R. Quigley Wel like me name says lets Rock! Im ready and I dont see how waiting will change anything. For soemone always has soemthing come up :P besides lets make sure no one person has a post that can hold up the game. That way it stays fresh in the posting :cool:
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-01-05, 02:16 PM	Alright I just got a response back from Darsh, and like Khaira, has no internet access at the moment, because hes on vacation, unitl further notice. Yeah, sooo.... Sorry about that, I'm just having a wonderful day here. Yup. Sure as sure. What seems to be the problem, Lady K? Well, I sent you a private message that you might want to check on. Also I'm still trying to get my hands on a copy of that map of the realms, which would make this so much easier. I had one, but under the mess of books I call my living quarters, Its lost forever. I can can't even get a decent link from Khaira without it turning blank. If any of you can refer me to one, or can scan it, I would gladly appreciate it. Lolth Preserve
Khaira 12-01-05, 10:26 PM	Argh...well, after much grueling, stressful installation of a new phone, phone line, AND modem, I am FINALLY back. So now, back to business. Piper - or Niura or whatever you want to be called - and Savael, let's get the wheels going and figure this crap out.
Savael 12-04-05, 08:17 AM	Khaira, you've gotta clear out your PM box so we can sort out those last details. Have already posted Piper about it, his answer should be well under way.
ruthia 12-04-05, 11:03 AM	Khaira, need to chat with you. Catch me next time your on, I've got a question I'd rather not post here and I don't want to take up PM space on your Co-DM's.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-04-05, 04:31 PM	gnome: "Hey Stfu, look at me for moment, i have... errr... something to show you." Stfu: [insert sound of being petrified] Treemmouphindar: *slowly bashing head against wall* gnome: "What? What did you expect? I had to harm somoene, this was taking way too long!"
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-05-05, 02:12 PM	I need to start talking to Khaira on better terms, else theres no use for chatter at all. Anyway I just got another message from Darsh and he should be back for the holidays, in the mean time hes asked for somebody to fill in for his characters. I told him I would play the matrons son for now, and by the time he gets back we wont be too far along. And thanks everybody for the maps, they are great reference. I'm going over them now, and should be ready soon. I'll private message you both shortly with my answer. In the mean time, let Quathmoir entertain us with his multiple peronalities! :D
Khaira 12-05-05, 02:48 PM	My PM box is cleared out for now. RUthia ... I will contact you as soon as possible.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-06-05, 06:59 AM	Treemmouphindar: "My... err... Mistress wishes to be entertained by Dlaeh's multiple personalities. I need backup from the Church." Noulminurr: "Greetings. So, what do... oh by the Mixy and theyr departed gods, is this a drow matron?!" Treemmouphindar: "Well, umm, Noulminurr Issareil, meet velsharess Niura Ma'Hazzen; she is a..." Noulminurr: "Acheron no! No zeid-damn way! I shall NOT do this again! Her house craves a surface realm? Then evacuate its denizens and POISON the land behind them. She seeks an item of legendary power? Let her have it, then throw the Underdarks's very roof on her heads and be done with it. For i shall do no such thing again, and i desire no knowlege of the compared worth! I earned my place in Ihrey's arms, and no other arms shall caress me, even at Vyzex's own bidding! You seek a faithful man to neutralize her in that manner? Contact the church of Sharess - hers are the true specialists in this field!" Oiovoronda: "Seeketh thou audience with the brush of Sharess' graceful tail? I eagerly harken." Stfu: "Hey, where'd YOU come from? Huh? Epic levels ain't allowed in this thread, ya hear me?! Yeah, cause i sid so! And then the DM said so too! 'Cause she RUUUUUUUULES, yesyesyesyes!" gnome: "What kind of idiot turned this pest back to flesh?! Someone will pay for this!!!" Chanting Mistery: "'Twas my doing, good sir. I did so inadvertedly, and beg thy pardon." *** [sounds of someone OOC dying a horrible, unncesseriy painful and dehumanizing death] Zincaller: "Each and one of you now owes me a favurrr, you must rrealize... afterrrall, if i werrre to let yourrr prrrrrrrecious Quathmoirrrr live, what would have become of this post? ...Yeeessss, an onslaught of charrracterrrs... his demented purrrrsonality would spawn... How many of us fantasy charracterrrs posesses he to date, hmm?.. Thirrrteen?.. Fourrrteen? ...Morrrre? ...T'would be naught but a crrrruelly deceptive begining, you surrrely figurrre.... forrr therrre arre contemporrrary charracterrrs as well... And the varrrious Arrrr Py Oh Ell ones, frrom unique settings, aye.... and then his shorrrt-lived, one-shot charracterrrrs - yeeesss, he rememberrrs many of these!.." Demmy: "You forgot "Majot NPCs", insect." *disintegrates Zincaller, true-resurrects Dlaeh {the player}, teleports-without-error FAR away and anchors everyone except the three chars relevant to this thread, the idly floats away to a place where restoring some neat order would pose more of a challenge*
Darshendros 12-06-05, 02:09 PM	Internet finally in my room. YES! It feels so good. It's like... jumping back into an addiction I had just kicked... like smoking... *takes a drag* Anyway. I'm here now. Yay!
ruthia 12-06-05, 05:42 PM	*Sitting quietly in a undiscript corner of the thread, RUthia and Malendor appear to be deep in a conversation. Brad flies over them, chirping distanfully. After a while Malendor Stands and throws his hands up in the air.* "FINE, then YOU go with the crazy ELF. I never wanted to anyhow, I was only doing it because YOU refused to." *As he stops away he mutters,* "WOMAN!" *Ruthia shakes her head as Malendor stomps away, Brad lands on her shoulder. He gives a chirp.* "I know Brad, he is hot headed. But he doesn't understand the finer points of conecting Future happens with past deeds....." **Yes this means that Ruthia, not Malendor, will be participating. Already cleared with Khaira, it's done to making a future event in Ruthia's life make sense.**
Khaira 12-07-05, 01:08 AM	Ruthia? Sense? Ruthia. Sense. Ruthia...sense? A brain can be heard suddenly exploding into a thousand billion little pieces as a robotic voice sounds out. "Contradictory words in one sentence...cannot connect pronoun and adjective properly. Brain overload, brain overload! Error! Repairs needed immediately!!"
ruthia 12-07-05, 01:15 PM	Alway wondered what would happen if I pushed that lil red button....Now i know. HEY,CLEAN UP IN AISLE TWO! :P **And yes I do make sense...It was a blue moon when I did it I swear!**
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-07-05, 02:29 PM	*Produces an enormously large mace, sneaks behind the malfunctioning Khaira, and clobbers her head to a pulp* "........Has it stopped?......." *Wipes the end of her bloody mace on her victims tunic, and smiles* "You'll have to forgive this one of course, years of being the editor of the school newspaper slowly does its damage to the brain." *Melts back into the shadows, and shrills in pure delight at Quathmoir's antics* "I require more of this meekly amusing entertainment NOW!"
Taeldrin Laesrash 12-07-05, 07:08 PM	Soooooooo...Will it start soon? It just looks like we're all screwing around.
Khaira 12-07-05, 10:24 PM	Oh, I don't think "screwing around" is the terminology I would be using. "Getting organized", I feel, would be much more appropriate, since that's what all of us DMs are doing. It shouldn't be too much longer.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-08-05, 10:30 AM	Stfu: ""Getting organized"? "Screwing around"? Come on, i know we can reach a common ground here. Here, how about... "Getting screwn"! No, wait, that's not right; how about "Getting organized around"? Or maybe just "Getting around"?" gnome: "Hey Stfu, look here for a moment." Stfu: "Ohhhh no-boy! I ain'tfallinfodatone again!" gnome: "Look, i'm not trying to petrify you, alright? Even you aren't stupid enough to fall for the same trick twice. See? I'm not taking the band off my forehead, alright? Now come here and see something. Help me pull this metal rod out of here..." Stfu: "Yaix aw aw aw ouch aiiiiiiiiiii!!!" Treemmouphindar: "Hmm, quite impressive. You should be commended on your inventiveness, Batwings." gnome: "Why thank you. And thank the Great Mother for death from massive damage."
Savael 12-09-05, 02:24 PM	We're working out the last few detalils right now boys and girls - and I sincerely hope that by this time tomorrow we'll have fired up this great, grand and much anticcipated adventure. Long live Savael and his band of brave miscreants!
Khaira 12-09-05, 10:32 PM	Eager to start? Why wait? The IC Thread is open, y'all! FYI for my people- Khaira and Company are meeting at the Flute and Boot Inn, a locale owned by Kulideb. It is in the Cloakwood (Western Heartlands)
Darshendros 12-10-05, 12:39 PM	I forgot my draegloth's name... someone still got the sheets I sent a long time ago? Chaszmyr: "It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum, but I'm all outta bubblegum." Duke: "Hey, that's my line, blacky." >.>;
firelizard Brad 12-10-05, 12:58 PM	CHIRP!

Oh yes.. grand bastion of the much beloved Famed Goodly Knowledge and Great Book reading by that famed Author Agudo School of Light and Magic but I believe the owner of said establishment has rather..um..angered a few of the characters who may be in this said story....Wonder who that was? :P
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-10-05, 02:20 PM	Stfu: "Treem. Treem! TREEM!!! She said KHAIRA's bunch assembles in the Cloakwood, not Niura's!" Treemmouphindar: "Your point, you masochistic little yapper?" Stfu: "So YOU and YOUR friends aren't supposed to be in the cloakwood!" Treemmouphindar: "True, therefore i am not. What are you getting at?" Stfu: "You're not? You're NOT?! Oh come on, how blind do you think i and the DMs are, huh? Do you think we can't see you and your freinds infesting the Cloakwood? Why, anyne who ever plaied the Baldurs' Gate computer game series KNOWS that the cloakwood is infested by DISGUASTING, MONSTEROUS SPIDERS!" [CRUNCHing sounds, screams, gushing blood] gnome: "Well, see, i told you we shouldn't have gotten him resurrected after the last time." Treemmouphindar: ""Friends don't let freinds provoke driders into biting theyr necks in half."" gnome: "All the more reason to be grateful i'm not his friend..."
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-10-05, 06:18 PM	Name: Drizavin Ma'Hazzen Race: Draegloth Appearance: Drizavin is a hulking creature, standing over seven feet tall, with black skin and a mane of white hair going down his back and chest. He looks like a drow with the muzzle of a demonic hound for a face, with gleaming red eyes, and four arms -two of which are powerful claws while the other two look like regular drow arms. His body is powerfully built due to the demonic blood running through his veins, and he is incredibly agile for his size. Background: The offspring of a glabrezu and Matron Ma'Hazzen, Drizavin is a clear sign of Lolth's favor upon the House to all who see him. Though not too intelligent, and quick to anger, he is a loyal and ferocious guardian of the Matron Mother. Drizavin has been assigned to protect Niura on the expedition to the surface. *Stalks over and pinches darsh ever so painfully Ouchhhy!* "Ahem Ahem, do I dare say youve forgotten your character? No... I didn't think so. And my slight cough I assure you was not brought upon by the roasted, seasoned rothe meat I just had for luch." To all, yes I am delighted to see all these great post! Now I can start mine just as soon as Khaira sends me back something I requested. She can give me a round-house slap later for misplacing something so important! :embarrass Editors Note: Drow seldom eat anything cooked. They prefer everything raw. So raw infact that you can find drow cutting the meat off an animal before its actually dead. Its an aquired taste, it gives a little pique to the flavor. I think it has something to do with how something taste when their prey is in fear. Mmmmm Faire elf meat.......licks lips.
Khaira 12-10-05, 08:23 PM	Attention all of you drow people- I have posted the setting for the gathering for the drow. Feel free to enter in whatever way you feel is best. Niura will be taking it from here. She can give me a round-house slap later for misplacing something so important Later? I'd much rather do it now. Can I do it now? How about now and later? Twice now and once later? Or once now and twice later? Or maybe twice now and twice later. I know! How about once for every word of my introductory post for the drow - yeah, yeah!
Taeldrin Laesrash 12-10-05, 08:27 PM	So, does Savael's party get a starting point?
Khaira 12-10-05, 08:37 PM	Yes, as soon as Savael posts the gathering location for his group. Ahem. Savael.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-11-05, 02:19 AM	Omg, Rocky's post was so funny *cough Agudo cough*, that I fell out of my chair with bouts of laughter. Really, I fell out of my chair....and it hurt. I espicially like the little bit about Khaira. I forget the details, but something along the lines of, She be gaining some punds on her legs and hips ...teehee...... has double chin starting under her pretty face. <insert part where we see the bardess go all matrix on poor Rocky> We shoud benchmark that as one of the funniest Motp moments ever. I would gladely take a million more slaps for more humor like that. :D
Savael 12-11-05, 06:50 AM	Alright alright - quit your wining already! I've posted the into for the Kemphris mercenaries, and everything should be in good order. Enjoy!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-11-05, 09:57 AM	Later? I'd much rather do it now. Can I do it now? How about now and later? Twice now and once later? Or once now and twice later? Or maybe twice now and twice later. I know! How about once for every word of my introductory post for the drow - yeah, yeah! Helllloooo Mrs. Catsdill! :rofl:
Savael 12-11-05, 11:45 AM	Word!
Xerafeln 12-11-05, 01:51 PM	::gives Khaira a cookie and grins::
Agudo Archmage 12-11-05, 04:47 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen Omg, Rocky's post was so funny *cough Agudo cough*, that I fell out of my chair with bouts of laughter. Really, I fell out of my chair....and it hurt. Yesss wellll now you know where Agudo gets his Ego from....Rocky/Lucky jokes ...now to take bow :bow: :king: :bow: My Fav post was Khaira thinking to herself khaira How long had she remained in shackles? How long had Myranthor delayed? How long had Keldorn accused her? How long had she sat in shame? I could not help but laugh at that...I was really thinking YA? how long was Myranthor Delay a year! :raincloud ...well it felt like it lol and then we all felt shackeld My hope is that we dont need to wait for one person ((cough Myranthor)) roor anyone to post like the last thread and wait wait wait :tongue:
Agudo's Ego 12-11-05, 05:34 PM	Yesss wellll now you know where Agudo gets his Ego from....Rocky/Lucky jokes ...now to take bow :bow: :king: :bow: warning...ego alert....... I"M YOU EGO DARN IT! MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME!AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT! :P :P
Savael 12-13-05, 11:35 AM	And the Ego strikes again! . . . Anyhow - Taeldrin, I can't find a damn jot about the faction you mentioned your charrie was a part of (The Fated) Care to help a poor sub-DM out?
Taeldrin Laesrash 12-13-05, 08:26 PM	The Takers? Oh yeah, that. I ended up scrapping Vzerii's alliance with the organization, just didn't end up going with her character. But if you still want info, look up Planewalker, or post on the D&D boards' Deities and the Planes board.
Mystery_Person 12-14-05, 09:40 PM	The blasted, accursed witch of lies, deceit, and betrayal - or for you simpletons, Khaira - is going to cause Rocky great pain by the end of this adventure. Of this fact, I am very certain.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-15-05, 01:58 PM	You folks are fast. For the first time in my life i was thankful for Piper's slowness, cuase if he were as hectic as the rest of you, Treem would be completely left behind. Driders are people too! :=P And please, Agudo! Quathmoir is a level 1 sylvan halfelf priest of Celune, bluffing his arse off while trying to convert Goldenfields to the worship of Celune. Stop calling my gnome by an elven name! :eek: OOC he can be referred to as "that gnome", or when other gnomes are present, "that bald gnome with the band around his head". P=: gnome: "Yes, calling me after this naive moonhugger is insolent, really. I am way too hgih-level for such a mistake to be possible. Speaking of mistakes, where is Stfu? I've posted twice and made two good freinds; Treem posted as well, and made... ummm... masters; errr, mistresses. Stfu's in the one group whose DM actually ordered the chars to socialize, and he's not even in attendance?" Treemmouphindar: "They ssssay that thossse lassst to arrive are either foolsss or cowardssss... "They", of coursss, are sourly missstaken, for our Sssstfu--..." Stfu: "Aha, glad you agree! The reason i have not arrived yet - obviously - is because i'm extensilvely important! And extensively important people always come late, because it's mandatory to wait for them, yes! Besides, what's that nonsence about both of you posting? You two did no such thing, ha!" Treemmouphindar: "...is both." gnome: "Huh? Here our posts are! Can't you read, or atleast see Dlaeh's avatar on 'em!?" Stfu: "That? That's not posting - that's FLOODING." Treemmouphindar: *sigh...* "I commit to abstain from resurrecting him this time."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 12-28-05, 07:53 PM	While we're not doing anything adventurous, let's atleast keep the OOC thread alive! "I'm getting restless, and Kulideb thinks brad may eat her out."Brad can't do that, this is Gene's job! Oh, wait, right, he's not here... well, then it's Oiovoronda's job! :P
Xerafeln 12-29-05, 10:27 PM	Oh huzzah, my poor drow can do something now. Joy and rapture..... ...anyone know where the heck Piper went?
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-31-05, 09:32 PM	Hey everybody, and sorry Khaira, guys, for my short absense. It was not intended, and I tried to get back to the boards ASAP. With the holidays, there comes responsibilities to handle, but no I'm ready to jump back on board. Thankyou Khaira for um err posting for me. I couldnt agree more with your info on Narbonel. Gromph the archamge of the city, and son of the first respected house flows magical energy into each day to make a time system for Menz. Oh and Xerafeln, you have a webpage that I loved where you keep all your characters. When I switched computers it was lost. :( Could you link that to me again?
Xerafeln 12-31-05, 10:28 PM	Yup, sure. I'll PM it, though, since it has some things that some folks likely should not see....
Niura Ma'Hazzen 12-31-05, 11:08 PM	Cough Cough, Metagaming is evil! None shall know the secret that we share, I promise! Its for the good of the game. Anyway, I found I can only write Niura well If Im in a foul, revengeful mood. Seriously, I have to be down right mean. So this makes it hard for me, because on this rare occasion....I'm not. But I do have the next post typed up though I need to know something from Quathmoir before I submit it. So please see your inbox for further details. You see I'm only doing this because I want to be a good Sub-GM and give my wonderful players all the attention possible! Meaning Treem, my drider slave....and Xerafeln. Though we needs Darsh too! :P
ruthia 12-31-05, 11:31 PM	:rolleyes: Oh just get on with it already would you!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-03-06, 07:39 AM	Xas, jabbress. Usstan zhal kyorl dosst v'dre. A note to Savael's group: Stfu's arrival was quite flashy and noticable; i'd like it to be acknowleged in some posts {even if it's a "____ heard the commotion outside but chose to ignore it"} before i post further. Sorry if i'm being an attention ho, but Stfu is, so my excuse is just being too thoroughly IC. :=P
Taeldrin Laesrash 01-03-06, 10:00 AM	Sorry that we haven't been there to greet your little attention ho, er, character. Vzerii and Savael are a little tied up in a duel right now. Please come in, and don't get blood on the carpet.
ruthia 01-08-06, 10:26 AM	**Ruthia scratches, digging her claws into the ground as she scretches her wings outward. She looks at Khaira, licking her bloody muzzle clean as she does.** Is it morning yet or what?!?!?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-08-06, 06:25 PM	**Oiovoronda lovingly scratches Ruthia behind the ear**
ruthia 01-08-06, 06:32 PM	*gives a cute little dragon purr*
Niura Ma'Hazzen 01-11-06, 09:48 PM	Since I could not help let this slip by, I'm going to give a bit of enough about driders, and their social role in the City of Drow. Driders have no social role! They are the lowliest creatures of the bunch, right there under slaves. Once drow, carring a noble surename or not, they has committed the unspeakable crime of Sacrilege, which could fall into a number of catagories such as insulting a presitess and her goddess. It is the worst punishment recieved, it would be merciful to be killed. Anway a high ranking clergy of the goddess transforms this person in a drider, a disfigured bloated version of a drow, which is basiclly as Treem described as half drow, half spider. The torso ending in the bloated abdoman of a spider, and its legs. They also can grow some nasty fangs. Though they do retain the facial and muscular visage they did as a drow, as for their ablities in the past. This is why the matron called Treem something unpleasent. So essentaially it is rare to see a drider in a noble house, and unspeakable to have them enter a preistess's chambers....but we are bending the rules because lets face it, Treem is so darn cute! I mean, dont you just love is drawn out creepy hiss of a voice! :love: Through the story I'll go ahead and post short bits of lore, just to enlighten you, and share the wealth. Hopefull my head will not swell the size of Agudo, archmage Ego!
Agudo Archmage 01-12-06, 01:38 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen Through the story I'll go ahead and post short bits of lore, just to enlighten you, and share the wealth. Hopefull my head will not swell the size of Agudo, archmage Ego! Ahh my young student you can dream cant you!?!? Never give up the hope of being like Agudo :king: PS Archmage is spelled with a capital “A” It has more flare and rolls off the tongue better Here try it.... Agudo “A”rchamage .....yes that it now you got it :ayyyy!:
Khaira 01-12-06, 03:56 PM	PS Archmage is spelled with a capital “A” It has more flare and rolls off the tongue better Here try it.... Agudo “A”rchamage .....yes that it now you got it :ayyyy!: Just capitalized? I don't know about that ... I think "Agudo Archmage" should be stylized more. Agudo Archmage in Classic Blue! or Agudo Archmage, the Yellow-Bellied Coward! or even... Agudo Archmage in ugly, ugly wheat color!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-13-06, 08:20 PM	Agudo Archmage Wow, you make him sound like Stfu looks! Or was it you make him look like Stfu sounds? Anyway, "wheat" is Stfu's color - the color of annoyingness! **laughs hysterically, imagining Stfu and Agudo drinking together, and one of them giving the other that classical "You know, we're the same"** Once drow, carring a noble surename or not, they has committed the unspeakable crime of Sacrilege, which could fall into a number of catagories such as insulting a presitess and her goddess. It is the worst punishment recieved, it would be merciful to be killed. Anway a high ranking clergy of the goddess transforms this person in a drider Yepp, and those of you who read Treem's biography can imagine that, considering how far he has "fallen", he should be thankful that Lloth stroke him down only into the form of a drider, and not something much worse, like a zin-carela, or a human. ;=P So essentaially it is unspeakable to have them enter a preistess's chambers....but we are bending the rules because lets face it, Treem is so darn cute! I mean, dont you just love is drawn out creepy hiss of a voice! :love:Tee-hee, thancue! ^_^ That comment got Treem all blushie and excited, reminding him of halfling priestesses and potions of polymorph! :embarrass Through the story I'll go ahead and post short bits of lore, just to enlighten you, and share the wealth.Good idea. I'm a junkie of Realms-lore! :cool: *** So, are we waiting for someone specific IC?
Agudo Archmage 01-14-06, 05:17 PM	Ssssooooooooo Uuuummmmm yaaaaa Hhhhhmmmmm :waits: Next post is? Khaira Just capitalized? I don't know about that ... I think "Agudo Archmage" should be stylized more. Agudo Archmage in Classic Blue! or Agudo Archmage, the Yellow-Bellied Coward! or even... Agudo Archmage in ugly, ugly wheat color! Calssic Blue with contrast of white :D Yellow as the Sun! And Wheat is sign of Prosperity and Agudo is Tan in skin coloring :P
Captain Binkle 01-15-06, 09:09 AM	Ssssooooooooo Uuuummmmm yaaaaa Hhhhhmmmmm :waits: Next post is? Khaira Calssic Blue with contrast of white :D Yellow as the Sun! And Wheat is sign of Prosperity and Agudo is Tan in skin coloring :P None other than Captain Waldo Binkle respectfully asking to fight with you to reclaim your lost harp, and save your fair skin from harm. ***bows and kisses Khaira's hand*** Me and my crew are in your service.
Xerafeln 01-15-06, 01:07 PM	Uhm, Niura? When I said Xer's hair was short, I mean it's REALLY short. Like about an inch long short. ...kind of hard to have your hair brush your shoulders when it's THAT short ^_~
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-15-06, 01:41 PM	When I said Xer's hair was short, I mean it's REALLY short. Like about an inch long short. ...kind of hard to have your hair brush your shoulders when it's THAT short Thok: "Depends on how flexible your neck is, really."
Agudo Archmage 01-15-06, 03:47 PM	Captain Waldo Binkle None other than Captain Waldo Binkle respectfully asking to fight with you to reclaim your lost harp, and save your fair skin from harm. ***bows and kisses Khaira's hand*** Me and my crew are in your service. I for one second his request for joining this our little game! Waldo the fearless sailor of the Sword Coast will add grand fun to this already fine story :)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-16-06, 05:24 AM	Back into your dwarfsuit, Archmage!
Captain Binkle 01-16-06, 09:54 AM	Back into your dwarfsuit, Archmage! Oh, let's not be so hard and the little guy. :) Anyway, I've just posted my first post of the adventure. I do hope you enjoy the comedy. Sorry about posting before getting the ok, but I just couldn't wait. :D I get so exited when I introduce a new character.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 01-16-06, 12:22 PM	Uhm, Niura? When I said Xer's hair was short, I mean it's REALLY short. Like about an inch long short. ...kind of hard to have your hair brush your shoulders when it's THAT short ^_~ By the Goddess, that is short! *Sigh* You know what this means? I cant pull on your hair when punishing you! Darn, I guess I'm going to have to come up with a more suitable torture for you.......... Old Matron Malice would have the males strip down before her, and watch as her eldest daughter Briza, would put her snake-whip to work on those smooth backs of theirs. Tee-hee, thancue! ^_^ That comment got Treem all blushie and excited, reminding him of halfling priestesses and potions of polymorph! I really dont know how to take this comment, other than assuming you prefer "ankle biter preistesses" over me! Sacrilege! Now we shall turn you into the most unspeakable thing in drow society............ Agudo! :D And the next post is, everyone who has yet to post. Not just one person. Tisk Tisk, looks like we have some stubborn pcs that have no patience. Well, looks like we are going to have to fix that.
ruthia 01-16-06, 12:30 PM	Oh, let's not be so hard and the little guy. :) Anyway, I've just posted my first post of the adventure. I do hope you enjoy the comedy. Sorry about posting before getting the ok, but I just couldn't wait. :D I get so exited when I introduce a new character. :eek: wanna know a sure fire way to **** Khaira off? Post in her thread without her permission first! I'm suggesting the duck and cover technique....cause if she blows, we all might go! *hides*
Agudo Archmage 01-16-06, 03:33 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen really dont know how to take this comment, other than assuming you prefer "ankle biter preistesses" over me! Sacrilege! Now we shall turn you into the most unspeakable thing in drow society............ Agudo! Yes well..... :P Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai Back into your dwarfsuit, Archmage! Hay Hay...Im part of a Union! We get ten minute brakes and besides ...its hit ----> hot in there lol Ruthia wanna know a sure fire way to **** Khaira off? Post in her thread without her permission first! I'm suggesting the duck and cover technique....cause if she blows, we all might go! *hides* Your 100% right Ruthia one should always have the Gm permission On the other hand since the story seems to be stuck at a tavern and I quote from the wise Ruthia own Title post Boredom calls for extreme forcedthread poking With that said it would seem the lack of a Gm do to her need to put family friends job and school before this grand story. I would say the brave Waldo has justly taken on the wrath of Khaira. Besides Khaira is always showing off with that...I have a life outside the game and cant post all the time smirk on her face We all have ...or had a life to...well sniff until we got a computer :surrender
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-16-06, 06:22 PM	I really dont know how to take this comment, other than assuming you prefer "ankle biter preistesses" over me! Sacrilege! Well, not exactly. ;=} See, in his past, Treem used to serve as both mount and guardian for a certain ahlfling priestess. Eventually, an affair developed between them; at first it was purely platonic, but after he heard her saying his name in her sleep {...again, and again and again and again}, she woke up one morning to see him polymorphed into his old, pre-drider form. From that day and on, potions of polymorph were inclueded in theyr restocable equipment for downtime as unerringly as masterwork darts for adventuring time. :D But that was long time ago, and she's mostly dead. Still, calling Treem cute will inevitable make him think of the Happy Potion! Sacrilege! Now we shall turn you into the most unspeakable thing in drow society............ Agudo!No! Just not the LG human! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Eek, the change is happening already! Save meeeee! I'm suggesting the duck and cover technique....cause if she blows, we all might go! *hides* /me hides the gnome inside the gnome's own backpack /me hides Stfu inside the kobold's own turban /me hides Treemouphindar inside the... oh shucking fit, where the hell do you hide a drider, for crying out loud?! Hay Hay...Im part of a Union! We get ten minute brakes and besides ...its hit {=hot?} in there lol Hmm, i'll see if i can get the boss to install air-conditioning within Rocky's head. /me sends a telegram to Lantan
Khaira 01-16-06, 09:13 PM	Anyway, I've just posted my first post of the adventure. I do hope you enjoy the comedy. Sorry about posting before getting the ok You're quite fortunate that I don't have more strict requirements for this adventure, Binkle, otherwise I would have to deny your participation in this thread. I am unpleased, though, that you decided to post without even consulting with even any of the sub DMs. Because, you know, it was for situations like this that they are appointed. In addition to running their own little groups, they have power, as I do, to approve a character. It is aggravating me to me that you could not wait even one day. What if there had been extenuating circumstances to people joining? What if the positions were already full? What if Khaira hated gnomes? This is why we wait - and MORE than one day - for the approval of the person or persons running the thread. With that said it would seem the lack of a Gm do to her need to put family friends job and school before this grand story. I would say the brave Waldo has justly taken on the wrath of Khaira. Besides Khaira is always showing off with that...I have a life outside the game and cant post all the time smirk on her face HELLO!!??! IS ANYBODY HOME? ANYBODY at all?! Lack of a DM my arse! I was gone two days! TWO DAYS! Everybody count with me now: 1 day + 1 day = 2 days! 48 hours. Captain Binkle waited ONE DAY - one day! 24 hours! He didn't, to my knowledge, PM any of the sub DMs for approval. He DEFINITELY didn't PM me for approval or questions on what the requirements were for joining. He posted, and then decided he was too impatient to wait and went ahead and posted on the IC thread. Do you know what would happen if I just went around, posting requests to join threads, and jumping in less than 24 hours later, WITHOUT any approval or sign of it, thereof? At the very least, people would not respect my etiquette! At the LEAST! Furthermore, life happens, ok? If you don't have patience for waiting ONE DAY or the understanding of basic Roleplaying etiquette ... LEARN IT before you attempt to request to join threads or don't do it! ...but I've even provided for life constraints with my sub DMs! They have the authority to approve and question individuals. But Binkle didn't even wait for that! "Bravely taken on the wrath of Khaira"? How about "Acted with a foolhardy, impatient, 5-year old's mentality of "I want it now, now, now!" I've spoken to Binkle and he knows where I stand on this topic. He has been approved, though he also knows that he should have a little more patience next time he wants to join ANYONE'S storyline. It creates an image of disrespect for etiquette, foolishness, and if it is too rushed, it can screw up storylines and plans that DMs carefully make for their games. As for everyone else ... you've waited a long time, which I've been thankful for and tommorrow, I will post for the beginning of the departure of the Flute and Boot gang.

That hurts, but the truth always does. Agudo Your 100% right Ruthia one should always have the Gm permission Tsk tsk Waldo you should have listen to Agudo :teach: <---- now thats one smug :censored:
ruthia 01-16-06, 11:02 PM	um Agudo....If I was you I'd shush...... Just a hint
Niura Ma'Hazzen 01-17-06, 12:44 AM	I agree with Khaira. But her words hold on greater purpose other than what everyone assumes is Khaira's wrath. When the ooc thread first started its purpose was to attract and recruit characters for this upcoming story. All these people enlisted months before, and furthermore had to give us stats on their character, and a short summary of what kind of role they would play as well as how they relate to the story line. Most of these were approved, and some so impossible souding, that they were rejected, so not everyone got to participate. The point shes getting across, is that nobody has special privledges, it dosnt matter if your a motp vetran, or if your new to the boards. If you just got in free, without a slap on your wrist, the other players would be unhappy, and complain. So that would not do us any good. So be lucky that Khaira is permitting you to join us on this new adventure. Remember nobody is trying to force you out, its something you remember to keep around for the future. So with this said, Welcome Captain. Also 2 days isn't a huge problem. Did everyone remember when I was gone for a week!? Now she could have mentioned that to further prove the statement, but no. We all have had our unexpected little leaves, or we just dont want to check up on the boards every couple of hours. Even if Khaira were gone longer, Saveal and Myself would pick up were she left off, because it's our jobs. Goodnight All
Xerafeln 01-17-06, 08:10 AM	Even I can tell that the ice is thin at the moment, Agudo....I'd watch my step. (not really what I wanted to say, but eh...)
Taeldrin Laesrash 01-17-06, 09:03 AM	I really have to agree, Agudo. I was surprised too when Binkle suddenly jumped on the thread without permission. But if you play around with it like a joke, it won't be pretty.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-17-06, 11:20 AM	What if Khaira hated gnomes? Eeeeek! *hides inside Swiftwing's beak* Lack of a DM my arse! And a fine arse it is, if i may say so! :embarrass
Agudo Archmage 01-17-06, 01:27 PM	Taeldrin Laesrash I really have to agree, Agudo. I was surprised too when Binkle suddenly jumped on the thread without permission....... We all agree that it was in bad form for anyone to jump into a story without the GM giving the ok. I for one see Khaira veiw on the matter and happily agreed with Ruthia when she pointed it out as well But it seems my other sub-point was lost on a few It had nothing to do with Binkle It was the fact that the last real post was made on the 8th and we were all waiting for the GM to proud it along. Thats why I was happy to see a new post by Binkle and Ruthia it gave us soemthing to do Ruthia Boredom calls for extreme forcedthread poking Yet as well why I said Khaira had a life outside of the story I and im sure others understood why things slowed down. Taeldrin Laesrash .....But if you play around with it like a joke, it won't be pretty Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai Originally Posted by Khaira What if Khaira hated gnomes?

ruthia 01-17-06, 05:37 PM	I just have two things to say...and I'll shut up. A: Khaira has been on checking this thread EVERY NIGHT except the two mentioned. She didn't push the thread forward, at least to my understand, because she was waiting for something. I know this because we talk alot. B: It's done..it's said, it's over with....Move on.
Khaira 01-17-06, 08:11 PM	I have two comments to make, people. It had nothing to do with Binkle It was the fact that the last real post was made on the 8th and we were all waiting for the GM to proud it along. Thats why I was happy to see a new post by Binkle and Ruthia it gave us soemthing to do I think I need to paraphrase: Binkle was in the wrong to do what he did, but since we were waiting on Khaira, it's all right that he didn't even wait for permission. After all, we were all bored. Nice. Real nice. Okay, so the next time things are slow, let's just allow any random person to make an entrance. Perfectly fine, right? That won't cause any disruption, will it? You're all smart, mature people ... well, most of you, anyway. You know that fleshing out character personalities is fun to do. Some of you were already doign that. Some of you ... were not. So, the next time you're bored, instead of rationalizing others' actions, and wishing for other people to ease your boredom, try fleshing out your character. It's much less provoking, and paints you as less of a fool. Oh, and just for your information, Agudo: yes, it did have to do with Binkle. Binkle was merely the convenient excuse for everyone to stop COMPLAINING and DO something! I for one see Khaira veiw on the matter and happily agreed with Ruthia when she pointed it out as well You see my side of the argument while simultaneously rationalizing what Binkle did as all right because you were bored? Make up your damn MIND! Boredom calls for extreme forcedthread poking Ah, yes. Use a subtitle of a post as means of a convincing argument. One of the most lazy and unconvincing arguments that I have heard or seen. Ever. You've taken Ruthia's subtitle COMPLETELY out of context and used it for your own means. I can paraphrase Ruthia's subtitle: "Using in-depth roleplaying to pass the time and ease the boredom" Eeeeek! *hides inside Swiftwing's beak* Worry not, my little dear, it was a hypothetical question. The point shes getting across, is that nobody has special privledges, it dosnt matter if your a motp vetran, or if your new to the boards. If you just got in free, without a slap on your wrist, the other players would be unhappy, and complain. So that would not do us any good. So be lucky that Khaira is permitting you to join us on this new adventure. Remember nobody is trying to force you out, its something you remember to keep around for the future. So with this said, Welcome Captain. Blessed Gods! Somebody isn't arguing the point with me or rationalizing disruptive actions or sending me nasty PMs! Wow! I am thankful that there are people who actually understand my stance on things. B: It's done..it's said, it's over with....Move on. Once again, Ruthia is correct. In fact, she was right the first time. It's why I've asked her to watch over my threads in the future, since she is often accurate in predicting what I would say or do in response to almost anything. In the future, people ... please try to think of the affect of your actions. I don't enjoy yelling, though it may seem otherwise, and I don't want to have to kick anybody out.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-18-06, 07:23 AM	It's why I've asked her to watch over my threads in the future, since she is often accurate in predicting what I would say or do in response to almost anything.And also because of the breath weapon, but that's secondary. :=P Now I know why I have a yard full of garden gnomes......and a Flesh to Stone/Plastic spell memorized at all time. :P
Captain Binkle 01-18-06, 09:52 AM	Originally Posted by Khaira What if Khaira hated gnomes?

That's a new spell. Do you have a copy? :D I know a friend who would enjoy that spell. He's got Bigby's Flicking Digits, and Tasha's Hideous Uncontrolible Projectile Vomiting. :D
Agudo Archmage 01-18-06, 03:35 PM	Khaira Blessed Gods! Somebody isn't arguing the point with me or rationalizing disruptive actions or sending me nasty PM's! Wow! I am thankful that there are people who actually understand my stance on things. Khaira since you and I haven’t PM during this game or if you did it must have been months I can only assume others were sending you nasty PM’s That’s disappointing and would hope they would be more mature and understanding. Ruthia Boredom calls for extreme forcedthread poking Khaira paraphrase Ruthia words Using in-depth role-playing to pass the time and ease the boredom" Yes she did use good storytelling for easing the boredom of a stuck game But if you read the post she was talking to her own Char and it alone when Ruthia came back to the tavern Its great to read the posts of the Drow and the Savaels gang....But we have people in the tavern who talked and talked The Gnome AKA Little Me and my Rocky did a grand job of several very large posts together BUT you (Khaira) Left the tavern and so did Ruthia So what was left to do for Rocky and the Gnome? We waited hoping your would come back after those several days as your Char and guide the tavern part of the story. We come for the challenge of posting with many others (More than Two) and for that to happen the GM can’t let her half of the story stop for several days We all look to you the GM for direction when that long pause takes place in posting So yes I was very happy to see fresh posts come in to proud the story along. Khaira lets be honest it seems like all four to five of your games over the years have stopped in mid game The last one was completely the fault of the Lawyer who will remain nameless For shamelessly abandoning the game and MOP without notice plus he was a key player that really hurt the last game of yours I enjoy playing with you and yes I fully support you dealing with rules of the game when someone needs to be brought back in line. Yet Khaira you can’t blame me for not wanting another one of your fine story games to stop like the past ones
ruthia 01-18-06, 05:20 PM	Yes she did use good storytelling for easing the boredom of a stuck game But if you read the post she was talking to her own Char and it alone when Ruthia came back to the tavern Agudo, I have to make a point here. Ruthia has, and always will be to some extent...A LONER! Thats right, a loner. Also if you look at the beging of MOST ANY adventure she has gone on You will see she ALWAYS goes hunting the night before the group leaves...ALWAYS. And when Ruthia came back in the tavern I would ASSUME that your drunk drawf was passed out at the point...So of course she just quietly grabs a tea and goes to wait. This is how Ruthia is...Deal with it.
Khaira 01-18-06, 08:17 PM	I can only assume others were sending you nasty PM’s While that may be true, you've done the next worse thing. You've taken the discussion away from Captain Binkle and turned into a discussion of, "Hey, everyone, see how bad of a DM Khaira is?" And even when everything appeared resolved, you still come back with complaint after complaint after complaint. It is really, truly, *quite* aggravating Yes she did use good storytelling for easing the boredom of a stuck game But if you read the post she was talking to her own Char and it alone when Ruthia came back to the tavern You know what, Agudo? That's what fleshing out character personalities IS! Is Rocky (and thus you) really so thick-headed and dependent on everyone else around him that you can't even make a post without everyone around? Come ON! Every time we've seen things slow down in threads, we've seen people make posts about their history, their personality, their visions of the future ... anything! Do you remember in the Trial of Khaira, when Khaira was simply locked up and guarded in the tent? Do you remember me saying, "Where is everybody? I have nobody to talk to or chat with or role play with. It's all everyone else's fault for not being in my tent!" No, I did not! Instead of wallowing in my own self pity, I made posts about Khaira and her past and other ineresting things. That's what everyone *here* is doing ... except you! ....But we have people in the tavern who talked and talked The Gnome AKA Little Me and my Rocky did a grand job of several very large posts together BUT you (Khaira) Left the tavern and so did Ruthia So what was left to do for Rocky and the Gnome? "Oh poor, poor, pitiful me. There's no one around. I'm so helpless and alone. Boo hoo hoo." GIVE ME A BREAK! You could have: Follow Khaira and Ruthia outside Made a post about Rocky's origins! Made a post about Rocky's perceptions about the rest of those traveling with Khaira! Speculate on Khaira's origins! Speculate on Ruthia's origins! But, no, you did none of these! Instead, you make a post in the OOC thread, complaining and complaining and complaining. I'm getting tired of hearing you complain about how there's "nothing to do" and I'm quite tired with your attitude. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! We all look to you the GM for direction when that long pause takes place in posting Here's a thought, Agudo: next time you desire to blame the DM for everything, make sure that there aren't other, ulterior motives for the pause. For example, the fact - of which Ruthia stated only a couple of posts earlier - that I was waiting for certain other individuals. Or the fact that I was waiting for confirmation from other people. Or the fact that I had to work mandatory overtime hours at my place of employment. Or the fact that I had to attend to other matters concerning friends in my offline life. Or the fact that I've been trying to scrape up $2200 so I can continue school next week, without the benefit of financial aid. But, naturally, according to you, none of that is important or relevant, because all that's REALLY important is that YOU are having FUN, or that's what you sure are implying! Grow up! Grow up! Use that deadened weight also called your brain once in a while! Khaira lets be honest it seems like all four to five of your games over the years have stopped in mid game ...and there you go with the damned blame game again. You imply, if not state it explicitly, that the failed storylines have been all my fault. Since your so blinded in your arrogance and ignorance, allow me to illuminate the facts about these failed threads. Trial of Khaira This thread, supposed to have taken place after the Messianica War, failed because, as you clearly stated, Myranthor stopped posting The Clearing This long-ago thread, with Astrianna the Druid, failed because people stopped posting. Khaira's Grand Adventures Some peopple lost internet access, some people got called away ... and eventually it was only me, Agudo, and Ruthia. It was POINTLESS to continue. Hunting of Dante Ambrose Tarran, whom had an influential character in that thread, had a temper tantrum over the decisions of myself and Piper, and quit. And what about all of the other threads - that we NOT mine - that failed. Treachery of a Red Wizard Piper's thread failed because Myranthor abandoned us all without warning. And, of course, we cannot forget how Agudo dissapeared for a couple of weeks. Whose fault was that, now, hmmm? Evil Intentions The Quigley Brothers and Myranthor, both whom had influential characters, dissapeared from all existence, putting the thread on hold and, eventually, annihalating that thread. Laseira Dandrie Swift's thread, in which EVERYONE stopped posting, and for which there was no hope for any longer. Ruthia's murder'ish thread (Mafia?)that I can't remember the name of You know, the one where everyone stopped posting? Yet Khaira you can’t blame me for not wanting another one of your fine story games to stop like the past ones And yet, Agudo, that is NOT what you've been complaining about and raising such a fuss over. No, instead, you've been complaning for this whole PAGE about how you're character is bored, how it's somehow my fault that my games have failed, and complaining about how I'm such a horrible DM for letting everything wait for so long. Apparently I'm not allowed any mistakes ... nor anyone else, apparently, in Agudo's book.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-18-06, 08:48 PM	For Celune's sake, people, please don't push it! {And when i say "people", i'm mostly just speaking of Agudo in plural, as is apropriate} Look, this thread is NOT under threat of dying out, ok? You know it isn't, because if it were, you'd all see ME spitting steam and whining about it like the kind of queen Umberlee is. So drop it. Two days are NOT a long time, and we all waited for much longer periods before. Now stop sowing unrest; that's Stfu's job. That said, i myself won't be able to post right now. It's half past three towards morning, and i need to take a shower+, find out the hour when my beloved wishes to see me tomorrow, and preferably get some sleep before that, and squeeze in a job interview, sometime before going to my collene. Altogether it's not easy to accomplish in the tiem i have, even without fearing that a day's absence will jeopardize a good campaign, and thus most probably i'll end up skipping sleep this night, to play it safe. This means that the night after, i'll be sleeping; A lot. And in the morning {most would call that noon}, my beloved and i will probably go somewhere, so no - i won't be posting from her place tomorrow morning, either. It is likely that i'll wanna sleep again afterwards, once i return home. Consequentially, 'twill be safe to assume that my next post will only happen the night between friday and saturday. Normally, i wouldn't give notice for usch a short "absence" {i can't really call that an absence at all - i'm out for one day, and the rest is consequence. For healthy people it happens regularily and very often!}, but i wanted to make a point here... i think. I don't quite remember what this point was, mind you; probably something about how ordinary and casual a thing it is to be gone for a couple of days, and why warning before EVERY such instance would flood the board and give you all headach. The Clearing This long-ago thread, with Astrianna the Druid, failed because people stopped posting. Khaira's Grand Adventures Some peopple lost internet access, some people got called away ... and eventually it was only me, Agudo, and Ruthia. It was POINTLESS to continue. I know i'm part of the problem in these two, but for my defence i'd like to remind the audience that i've been recruited, and had hopes of serving; i posted a notice with directions regarding my chars, inclueding the relevant Thok and Noulminur, quite some time before my opportunities to post ended. As for the Trial, it was getting stuck before Myranthor's withdrawal. He was actually making a plan to shock life back into it, bu then ShIfT happeend, and he withdrew. Then someone else {Agudo, if i remember correctly? Should be commended!} did something similar to what i hoped Myrrr will, and thanks to that, i do NOT consider the thread failed, since it actually had a logical ending, albeit partially improvised. Anyway, good Night, and pass my Love to all your L--... oh damnit, wrong forum, sorry. I meant to say נצח ישראל ל--... nope, not that one either, beg yer pardon. Ah, got it: Good Night, and may Dragons soar in your Dreams!
Xerafeln 01-18-06, 11:31 PM	...ah....for the record, it's Selûne, dear. And yeah. This little war should die. Quickly and quietly. Folks who know have some idea of my thoughts on this....and no one else needs to have them. Piper, when were we getting underway on the drow end of things?
Agudo Archmage 01-19-06, 04:22 AM	Khaira You could have: Follow Khaira and Ruthia outside...... Ruthia is a loner very clearly made and in truth when Khaira left I was making several well made out posts with Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai the gnome player Khaira Made a post about Rocky's origins! I did give a peek into that on my first post but still plan a surpise once we get past the first few minutes of this first chapter Khaira Made a post about Rocky's perceptions about the rest of those traveling with Khaira! I did but not to the extent you may have wanted nor did I feel the need to do to the fact that everyone hasn’t traveled together enough to make a comment/speculation as in depth as I but will after the first chapter Khaira Speculate on Khaira's origins! That would be the whole reason why Rocky here and yes I planed to have Rocky snoop around once he was with Khaira on the trip and no not do everything before the story left chapter one of the tavern Khaira Speculate on Ruthia's origins! ...... Ruthia Agudo, I have to make a point here. Ruthia has, and always will be to some extent...A LONER! Thats right, a loner. Also if you look at the beging of MOST ANY adventure she has gone on You will see she ALWAYS goes hunting the night before the group leaves...ALWAYS. And when Ruthia came back in the tavern I would ASSUME that your drunk drawf was passed out at the point...So of course she just quietly grabs a tea and goes to wait. This is how Ruthia is...Deal with it. Rocky got the vibe on her origin and ya its cool for the game and that solo kind of thing works as a Dragon In truth we all happily posted .....But like the others of the tavern after so many fine post from the time when Khaira made her exit on 12-28-05 we then posted all the way up to Jan 8th 2006 post by me Yet at some point proven by the fact the next post wasn’t made until Jan 15th by Ruthia we were waiting for you Khaira to give it a push like you just did on the Jan 17th and 18th Khaira But, no, you did none of these! Instead, you make a post in the OOC thread, complaining and complaining and complaining. I'm getting tired of hearing you complain about how there's "nothing to do" and I'm quite tired with your attitude. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! ......For example, the fact - of which Ruthia stated only a couple of posts earlier - that I was waiting for certain other individuals. Or the fact that I was waiting for confirmation from other people. Or the fact that I had to work mandatory overtime hours at my place of employment. Or the fact that I had to attend to other matters concerning friends in my offline life. Or the fact that I'vebeen trying to scrape up $2200 so I can continue school next week, without the benefit of financial aid. Agudo 1-16-06 Your 100% right Ruthia one should always have the Gm permission On the other hand since the story seems to be stuck at a tavern and I quote from the wise Ruthia own Title post Quote Ruthia Boredom calls for extreme forcethreding poking With that said it would seem the lack of a Gm do to her need to put family friends job and school before this grand story. I would say the brave Waldo has justly taken on the wrath of Khaira. Besides Khaira is always showing off with that...I have a life outside the game and cant post all the time smirk on her face We all have ...or had a life to...well sniff until we got a computer Perhaps the trying to be happy and make my post sound ooc fun for us was not the best timeing Yet there it is and its all Agudo! its who I am and you all have always seen me post as such and it was no surpise OOC is for talking about the flow of the game and is the place for us in bringing ones ideas that’s what I did That’s not simple complaining that’s constructive thoughts on the game If you truly see me as just blindly making OOC posts then please ask a Wizo who will give a balanced answer I truly believe in my past posts you have over reacted to honest thoughts of talking about the story and asking nicely of you as Khaira the Char to post more Yes we could have PM each other when things got heated...but we didnt and well lets lay it out here in simi nice but tuff way. I gave my opinions on why I was glad to see the tavern part get unstuck with Binkle/ Ruthia arrival/return and yes I hope this would bring the next post from Khaira that was (at that time) was last made with her Char 12-28-2005 It was me who made the first post about you Khaira the player having a life outside the game and why it was understandable the game slowed down do to it Granted you now gave more info on the why....but my post stands for the respect for you as a player and that you have a life outside the game. If this sounds mean once more Im sorry you do have a life outside the game But really Khaira ......as Khaira the main Char of the game your post on 12-28-2005 then next on the 17th of Jan 2006 Well in my opinion I just think it was a bit of a long time for that char in the story/game to be out of the spot light For me the whole base of the story and title of the game is about you Khaira and her harp...yes we fleshout are Chars if you wish to say some more than others yet the fact is your the Star :) Khaira While that may be true, you've done the next worse thing. You've taken the discussion away from Captain Binkle and turned into a discussion of, "Hey, everyone, see how bad of a DM Khaira is. Khaira after these years and I do mean years of grand storytelling From this long lasting MOP with our many Epic and non epic story/games to far away places on others Posting Boards that seem long gone or perhaps still lingering. Such as Aledeon and even Web places were Gnomes ruled the land! (Sorry I forget the name of that Web Board Ruthia may know and Myranthor but some guy in Israel made it and It was a fun time there) Do you really really really really really really believe that I think your a bad DM/Player? Do you? I hope you know I wouldn’t be here even if that was half true. This is why im saying what I think in OOC for I do see that you got what it takes to be the DM/GM ...a grand one Yet if you feel that I made you look like a bad DM ......... Then Im sorry truly I am! Once more Khaira Im sorry if you think less of me or I of you for its far from it. Just ask me to leave the game and I will have no hard feelings ill be happy to keep playing on other games that were in
Captain Binkle 01-19-06, 08:43 AM	***sits in a far corner. Depressed, and relieved that the arguement has strayed away from the topic of his folly***
ruthia 01-19-06, 05:06 PM	STOP IT BOTH OF YOU! that simple, just stop. Both of you. Khaira, Agudo, shake hands, move to oppsiste ends of the thread and lets just get posting.
Khaira 01-19-06, 10:47 PM	In truth we all happily posted .....But like the others of the tavern after so many fine post from the time when Khaira made her exit on 12-28-05 we then posted all the way up to Jan 8th 2006 post by me Yet at some point proven by the fact the next post wasn’t made until Jan 15th by Ruthia we were waiting for you Khaira to give it a push like you just did on the Jan 17th and 18th This is a stupid argument, and it is getting us nowhere fast. It is serving only to stretch my already tense emotions and making everyone else uncomfortable, to be sure. Regardless, I will grant that maybe it was a long wait, and for that I appologize. On the flip side of Waukeen's coin, however, there *were* reasons for my delay. I'm not going to restate them, since you can read the above posts to deduce what those reasons were. But Agudo is right, albeit a tad overzealous. It was an unnecessarily long wait. There may even be more such long waits, especially after the 23rd, when I begin attending college again. In any case, you shouldn't have to have wait that long in an adventure and, gods (and extraneous variables) permitting, you shouldn't have to, at least not without some kind of warning. Especially not with my sub DM's. *Ahem* Do you really really really really really really believe that I think your a bad DM/Player? Once more Khaira Im sorry if you think less of me or I of you for its far from it. Just ask me to leave the game and I will have no hard feelings ill be happy to keep playing on other games that were in You may not have explicitly stated it outright, Agudo, but it sure seemed that was the underlying message that you were getting to. While you stated that you understood me having an outside life, at the same time, you referenced my last post date several times in several posts as a point of reference for how the adventure was falling apart, everyone was waiting solely on me, it was completely my fault, etc, etc. It certainly seemed that this was the picture that you were painting with your words. Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and overly sensitive. I hope that was the case. The rude, condescending PM Senders: One last note to the persons who have PMed me with their barbaric, accusatory, inflammatory messages ... not too smart of you. I'm not going to mention names because we don't need ANOTHER blame game going on, and I'm sure the one's responsible for those PMs know who they are. Regardless, it is not a smart thing to do and does not improve relations with me. As a DM and as a person, I certainly do *not* appreciate it. I am being extremely gracious by not booting those responsible a week ago. If it happens again, however, I will not hesitate to remove you from my game and report you to a Wizo. Consider yourselves warned. My Ruling And now that this has been addressed, let us move on, as it is high time to do so. I am administratively ruling that this argument and discussion is over, done, and completed, and not to be resumed again in the future. If it is extremely necessary to point out just "one more thing", you all know how to PM or email me.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 01-20-06, 03:51 PM	...ah....for the record, it's Selûne, dear. And yeah. This little war should die. Quickly and quietly. Folks who know have some idea of my thoughts on this....and no one else needs to have them. Piper, when were we getting underway on the drow end of things? Today, hopefully. I was waiting on a few things, but we can move on. Ah Selune. Our Lady of Silver, The Moonmaiden. Or sounded out as (seh-loon-ay) Wait.....did you say Selune!? Blashemy, I will not tolerate any other diety named, other than Lolth. All other Pantheons cannot measure to Lolth's power! And I don care what your stats say!

It saddens me that for the next three days I won't be able to see you talk to yourself in multiple personalities, so hurry back! :P

Khaira 01-20-06, 10:00 PM	Blashemy, I will not tolerate any other diety named, other than Lolth. All other Pantheons cannot measure to Lolth's power! And I don care what your stats say! To question Lolth's motives or wisdom is sin. And it would be to my displeasure if this comes up again. Say, does that mean that Khaira is a double-blasphemer? After all, she mentioned two deities - two major deities, at that - of the Seldarine, the elven deities. In fact, not only were they elven deities, but they were elven deities whom wage a very specific, grim war on Lolth and the Spider-Queen's allies. In fact, one of those elven deities was even Lolth's former consort. Uh-oh... Oooh ... I think that makes her a quadruple blasphemer. Cool! :cool:
Khaira 01-20-06, 11:56 PM	An announcement regarding the drow party: I’ve contacted some individuals who have been MIA since day one in this adventure. I had sent them a message a while ago regarding their participation – or lack of participation thereof - in this adventure. They still responded, either to myself or in this thread, so I sent another message to those individuals last night. In any case, by tomorrow night, if those individuals still haven’t made their presence known, I’m going to make a narrative post tomorrow so that the drow party can move along/get moving. I know that at least one of the individuals missing (maybe even two?) were playing characters in the drow party. If those individuals do not show up, that mean Piper will be out one or two members. Thus, if anyone was desiring to play a secondary or tertiary character of the drow party, now's your chance to speak up. Piper can fill you in the details as to what kind of characters you may need, provided you are interested.
Agudo Archmage 01-21-06, 12:52 PM	Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai :rofl: If ever i get a custom title on theboards, i'll make sure it's "Some Guy From Israel"! :=D I'm honored to know Dyverside is remembered postively. Ha! I was thinking it was your place but lol its been so long since I romp around there Now that it is all coming back it was me Kulideb, Myranthor, Khaira who posted there ....lol did Ruthia post there? ...mind going so many years must not get old ..... in fact didnt Kulideb donate $$$ to keep your place going ? At least thats what she said.....O well those rich English Ladies and Israel guys lol ..Anyway on with the show of mighty Gnomes! PS Glad to here your future wife will join us on the MOP ;)
ruthia 01-21-06, 01:05 PM	**Hands Agudo his comlimentary cane, trifocals and Hearind aid.***
Khaira 01-21-06, 07:24 PM	Still no replies from our missing people? This makes me sad ... or is it mad? Maybe both. Grrrr, roars the mightily unhappy DM Ha! I was thinking it was your place but lol its been so long since I romp around there Now that it is all coming back it was me Kulideb, Myranthor, Khaira who posted there ....lol did Ruthia post there? guys lol ..Anyway on with the show of mighty Gnomes! I'm pretty sure Ruthia posted there. Or was that one of the other many countless forums that we were on? Ah well ... no use trying to recall a failing long term memory storage. I joined kind of late myself, and had a falling out of sorts with a person there ... by the time I'd actually gotten into it, Dyverside had been allowed to ungracefully die. :weep: And, Agudo, I think you mean "on with the show of the mighty, traitorous, red-haired elf and her companions". Okay, okay ... that is a long title. You could just call her a volcano, eh Ruthia? :P
ruthia 01-21-06, 07:29 PM	Volcano is reserved for the good days Deary :P
Khaira 01-21-06, 08:14 PM	Well, the drow are ready to go. Narbondel has been infused, the Matron Mother is impatiently waiting ... and it's morning. Rise and shine! Wake up, wake up! The birds are sing... oh, yeah, the Underdark. No birds. Heh heh. :embarrass Also, to let y'all know, I'm going to be gone tommorrow afternoon and evening, attending to some rather important legal issues that need to be taken care of ASAP. And, of course, Monday will be the commencement of over-loaded stress and ridiculously long to-do list's ... also known as the start of my next semester. So don't expect any response from me until Monday evening or afternoon.
Xerafeln 01-22-06, 01:11 AM	...the deep rothe are singing? Maybe? Meh. I'm tired and have a headache and spent my whole day looking for bridesmaids dresses. I'll play my male drow in the morning ^_~

Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-22-06, 08:41 AM	"The Tressyms are purring..." Now that it is all coming back it was me Kulideb, Myranthor, Khaira who posted there ....lol did Ruthia post there?I think not, but you forgot Lozyk. Can't forget the cute halfling! Other people of note who were there are Black Death {he participated here very little, but still} and, once again, my collene Pantera {speaking of cute halflings}. :=D ...mind going so many years must not get old .....You know, i always pondered about that: with Agudo living for so long, and mentioning on multiple icasions that he has a wife - how come we never hear anything about his children? Surely there are some adorable halfelven kids running around his home tower? in fact didnt Kulideb donate $$$ to keep your place going?Yepp. Unfortunately, as all things managed by our dear Griffmark, it still died regardless of the donations. Kulideb and i are by now both learnt in the hard way about the effectiveness of giving Griff money.
ruthia 01-22-06, 09:53 AM	nope...the forums I post(ed) on are/where Wizzie's, Icefalls, Isle of Aledeon, The Den, and Unlikely Hero's. :D
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-22-06, 12:43 PM	Can't wait for the mandatory banquet at Savael's before the adventure... then we can all be on our way... :D

Yaaa knooow Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai I Remember asking you something a year ago lol Tsk tsk I asked by PM aren’t you from Dyverside and you said..... Nope I even said really are you sure? Because your name Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai is just like the big hard to say funky ones they use at Diveside...tsk tsk playing with an old man's mind like that :P Yep Agudo got that whole family thing going under his hat Maybe ill let them run around in some time in a future story/game Ruthia **Hands Agudo his comlimentary cane, trifocals and Hearind aid.*** Comp my pointy hat! Stop taking them from my tower and hiding them from me Ruthia lol Khaira And, Agudo, I think you mean "on with the show of the mighty, traitorous, red-haired elf and her companions". Hmm you and Keldorn seem to like the same words perhaps you two been hanging around to much....now volcano on the other hand ;)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-23-06, 09:56 AM	I said i'm not from Dyverside? Ugh, that's wierd... One of the following things must've happeend: You sent the PM to someone else by mistake You did send it to me, but a misundrstanding happened, with you speaking of the player, and me thinking you spoke of a specific char's origins You mistyped Dyverside so thoroughly, that i thought some entirely other place was refered to, and thus answered negatively I was ass-drunk after a party, high on rosedew after a date, or - which would be worse - a combination of both, in which case i could heave less of an idea than usual of what i was being asked, what i was answering, and whether mixing catnip with pixiedust is a good idea for sobering-up. You either asked, or i thought you did, whether i'm the manager/owner of Dyverside, in which case i would answer no, since that would be Griff. But there's no way i would ever conceously diclaim my role in the making and maintaining of Dyverside! There i was called by my common nick, wfa`Streetcat, the short of which {Street} you can often hear called by Myranthor, Ruthia, and - when that CN little plainshifter was still around - "N.Y.Wench", whom i usually just called Sneech. Chars who are native to Dyverside {with the respective regions, continenets in parantances} include: Noulminurr Issareil {Lokhalain, the Aslands}, Aklaide Shaktah {Chikriza, Clath}, Atlas Athakus {Athakk, Clath}, Treemmouphindar {underdark beneath the Outskirt, Clath}, Stfu Kacdill {nknown, Everkec} and Wingljay {Kradha, clath}.
Khaira 01-23-06, 10:46 PM	Hmm you and Keldorn seem to like the same words perhaps you two been hanging around to much....now volcano on the other hand Hey! It's not Khaira's fault that Keldorn is obssessively ... er ... obsessed with Khaira. After all, she is the charm of the realms ... nobody can blame the sorely lame knight for chasing that luscious, red-haired fury. "Volcano" doesn't just refer to her attitude, you know. ...did I say that out loud? ;)
Khaira 01-27-06, 10:28 PM	Well, it appears Jason/Piper is preoccupied with life again. In the better interest of keeping things moving, if by tommorrow, I see no post by the leader of the drow party, I will be posting for Niura. Speaking of moving along ... where are Quathmoir and Agudo? I hope Quathmoir isn't going *completely* Myranthorial. Read y'all later.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-28-06, 10:03 AM	Hey, i ain't gone nowhere. Lil Me is right behind you, Khaira, and the others are at theyr respective locations. It's not my turn now, is it? :=P Whawewaitinfo?

Rocky Let’s just say I didn’t eat that Halfling no matters what the constable said Besides some places have laws against cannibalism and now I never drinks Spiced Thayen Liquor because of it Then looking about Rocky waited for them to leave or he to get sick on the ground Whatever came first he thought I think Lil’Me hit it right on the head there :bump: Rocky and the Gnome are waiting for direction from thier lustrous leader Khaira outside the tavern Khaira http://www.members.shaw.ca/gordquigley/pictures/khaira.gif Artwork copyright © 2006, Chris Quigley And to quote the funny Gnome .....

Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-28-06, 01:35 PM	Nahhh, Khaira looks much more regal than that. The "elf" on this pic looks just petty and spoiled. Besides, it's anime - you can't really portray Khaira with anime. Now, shall we continue the adventure, or do i need to bring Oiovoronda here to start seducing all of you {and i do mean ALL of you}? :=D
Niura Ma'Hazzen 01-28-06, 01:49 PM	A little preocupied is an understatement! Let me elaborate. About a month ago my mother had a blood claut in her leg, which we barely caught, so she was recived at the hospital for bed rest, and powerful blood thinners. She was miserable at the hospital, so we took her home, and kept her on her meds and bed rest here. Just recently when we thought everything was fine, she started to feel severly ill. She couldnt breathe, and she thought her ulcers were acting up. So yesterday when we had blood work done, the doctor called back and said she needs to get to the hospital immediatly. So we rushed there, had xrays done, and found out the medicine that shes been taking to thin her blood, is screwing up her kidney. So last night she was admitted again, and they have her on getting nurtition through tubes, because she cant eat for atleast a week. And to make things worse, they have no clue why she cant breathe. We fear the clot could travel to her lungs or brain and kill her. So yes, I am a little busy, and just this morning the thought past my mind to check on the boards. So hopefully when I get some more things out of the way today, like keeping my damn phoneline clear, I can post late tonight. So Khaira, retain yourself hehe. And where did Agudo get that picture....? I knew Khaira was having Chris do a commition, but you revealed it before she?! Its really nice, but I fear for you life my dear friend Agudo. Well you know what they say. "Revenge is better served cold." Torture ya'll later. ;)
ruthia 01-28-06, 04:12 PM	Blood clots suck! I sympathize, Back in 2000 I had one that went undetected untill it went into my lung! I couldn't breath, my husband though I was having a heart attack. They found the clot, told me one inch to the left and I was as good as dead.... So yah, scary
Agudo Archmage 01-28-06, 05:16 PM	Piper About a month ago my mother had a blood claut in her leg, which we barely caught, so she was recived at the hospital for bed rest, and powerful blood thinners........... And where did Agudo get that picture....? I knew Khaira was having Chris do a commition, but you revealed it before she?! Its really nice, but I fear for you life my dear friend Agudo. Well you know what they say. "Revenge is better served cold." Good friend Piper all our prayers go out to you and your family Worry not on any delay in posting we shall carry on missing your bright star within the little community of grand adventures on MOP Now as far as superseding the so called surprise of the Pic..... Well lol you found me out the only way I could have gotten the Pic before Khaira got is....Im not only Edwin Lucky Rocky Lady Hoot Dwarfina Keldorn and Agudo I am also Khaira! Thats right I some times have to argue with myself in the OCC board’s just keep that Ego maniac Agudo :looloo: in line and don’t get me started on that hot tempered Khaira. :crazy: Or lol Chris Quigley posted it in the Char Boards already for us all to see Hmm now were did I put my corncob pipe and Harp :ghosted:

Khaira 01-28-06, 05:53 PM	In fact, I was waiting on Rocky/Agudo and Adept (*my* name for the gnome, Agudo :P ). I was also waiting for Binkle to respond. Or did I miss that one, too? Bah, curse my memory! AS for that picture ... yes, it was one commissioned by Chris a while ago. A year ago? More than that? Hells, I'm not sure. In fact, he posted it on the Character Posting Board. I agree that, in a sense, there are no pictures - or, for that matters, words - which could fully, comptetently, and thouroughly describe my vision of Khaira. The only way, I think, to fully describe what I believe Khaira to look like would be to develop a strong mental link with everyone (dare I say ... empathic paralysis?), collage all of my ideas of different types of Khaira's features, and transmit them all, via telepathy to everyone. ...Ahem. So, yeah, a picture by Chris will have to do. Sorry to hear about your mother, Piper. I've had some people in my family contract some weird, unheard of diseases in the recent past, too, so I understand why you can't post. I am going to move the drow group ahead a little bit, but only to a certain point or until you are able to make it back, which ever one of those comes first. I'll keep your mother in my thoughts of healing. Gods bless
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-29-06, 08:35 AM	Sorry to hear, Piper. :( I hope she recovers soon... *Noulminur, Oiovornda, Atlas and the Adept qietly walk to Piper's house and kneel down in solemn prayer*
Khaira 01-31-06, 12:55 AM	Sorry y'all have been waiting on me for so long ... school is taking a large, large, LARGE portion of my time. I've been coming up and spending about 8 - 12 hours on homework. As you can imagine, that doesn't leave much time for anything else. And it's only the second week! :banghead: Anyway, sorry I haven't posted yet. I was meaning to get the drow moving along, too but, as you can clearly see, that failed to happen. Damn! Why can't there just be about 10 more hours in the day? In any case, I'm going to try to get online tommorrow or the day after to get some posts going so everyone doesn't get too bored. Just a little while longer of a wait, I promise!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 01-31-06, 02:42 AM	Thok: "Oooops." *spills his familiar on Khaira's books and watches with mixed feelings as the paper is quickly dissolved and consumed* {Well, now you can say "The cat eat my homework!", and still not glow if the professor has Detect Lies on.}
Khaira 02-11-06, 08:16 PM	...my time, that is, not my mind. Though, if anybody's seen the latter, kindly let me know. :) I'm feverishly wishing I had a Time Stop spell on hand these days, heh heh. Anyway, sorry about the increase in inactivity ... I'm going to try to catch up these next couple of days (I've sure said that a lot, haven't I?), though I don't know how long that'll last.... :rolleyes:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-12-06, 04:27 AM	...my time, that is, not my mind. Though, if anybody's seen the latter, kindly let me know Way out, In the water, See it swimming Remember, Khaira: you needn't appologize for inactivity, as long as you're more active than your sub-DMs. :=} {and a cookie to anyone who recognized the quote}
ruthia 02-12-06, 10:28 AM	Don't worry about time away crazy miss Khaira, thats why you hired a thread watch dragon to poke you from time to time :P Seriously, I know your a busy college person, you'll catch up with us soon enough.
Taeldrin Laesrash 02-13-06, 09:25 AM	I know that we all have already busy scheldules, but does anyone know where Savael got off to? We can't really go far with myself, Quathmor, amd Sonnica (Although Vzerii would delight in taking the group over).
Niura Ma'Hazzen 02-14-06, 12:11 PM	Well met friends to whom I've guessed could be up to many a mischief as I've been away. I'm gladely here to notify you that all is well here, and mother is making a swift, if not complain filled, recovery. So it is in my best intentions to read the thread tonight, and catch up what I've missed, and post for myself. Really what I'm going to do is edit Khairas post for me the way I planned them to be before I had to leave. Nothing big, just some elaboration. By the way, thanks Khaira for filling in once again. Look foward to tonight, thats all. :D
Khaira 02-14-06, 01:24 PM	...Really what I'm going to do is edit Khairas post for me the way I planned them to be before I had to leave. Nothing big, just some elaboration. That's fine by me. I left a good amount of space in the last post for Niura/Maliril that I made so that you would have room to make changes, if that was your desire. On that note, though, I might have to post for Savael fairly soon. Hopefully he's not having too much of a problems in his life. Ah, wonderful, hectic, anarchaic life...
Khaira 02-20-06, 03:27 PM	Well, my fear has now come to fruitation. What follows is an excerpt from a PM I've received recently. Khaira, I'm sorry about this, but I think I'm going to need a prolonged break from the Wizards Boards. As you can see, we've encountered an obstacle regarding Savael and his group. A pretty big obstacle, it seems. Considering we are now deprived of a significant member of this adventure. I'm considering what I should do with this, and if I have the time or energy to post for two of the major groups, and possibly three of the groups, depending on how much time Piper will have. Of course, that would mean I will be fighting with myself, ambushing myself, and attacking myself. I'm seeing a deja vu of Trial of Khaira, for some reason... So, presently I'm considering some options: Leading Khaira's, Savael's, and the drow section While this would keep the adventure moving, I would also fall into the Trial of Khaira connundrum. That is, I will be fighting, ambushing, and trying to kill myself, since I would be leading everything. As you can well imagine, I'm tentative to do this. Attempting to find another leader for Savael's section Tentative about this option as well. There was a very specific reason for Savael being involved in this adventure, and if he is not, in fact, present in this adventure ... there would be next to no point for either me leading Savael's section or finding another person to lead it or, even, continuing this adventure. Which leads to my next point... Just postponing the thread until I get participation again This option is looking more and more favorable. Presently, I'm the only acting DM. Piper is busy with whatever Piper is doing. Savael has pulled out for an indeterminable amount of time. That leaves just me. What the hell's the point? I'm having difficulty seeing one. Of course, there's one more option I'm considering, too, which is also, at this point, considering the present course, is looking especially favorable. Wake up to the fact that all of my adventures are doomed to fail. ...because that's sure what it's feeling like. This is apporximately the 6th or 7th thread that has fallen by the wayside, because of whatever reason. I've lost count because I'm past caring to count. I'm all too tempted to just pull out of any and all threads I run, since all of them have gone bad for some reason or another. Maybe just finish writing my short story since that, most likely, would have a better quality end result that the condition of this present adventure. So, then, people ... comments? Suggestions? Preferences, votes? Anything?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-20-06, 04:27 PM	Oh goddemmit! Bah, this is growing to become a freaking habit. And Myranthor predicted it, too. :=/ So yeah, i know exactly how you're feeling... :={ *huggs Khaira* My vote would be either #2 or #3. If we go with #2, we need to improvise an IC reason for the change of plans. For example: a failed assasination attempt at Savael moves him to send someone else in his stead on the expedition, while he fortifies in the manor and waits to see whether the enxt attempt would be at him, or at the new "acting" leader of the search party. If we go with #3, i'll try to rally those who are still playable, and start an adventure that will hopefully keep our collective ass from frustration untill Sava &/or Piper return and we can continue this one. At any rate, here is a SouthPark version of Noulminur Issareil to cheer you up a little: http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs9/i/2006/046/a/e/my_Southpark_character_by_Crawling_meowe r.jpg
Khaira 02-20-06, 04:44 PM	:banghead: My vote would be either #2 or #3. The problem with going with the second option (locating another leader for Savael's section) is that: a) I don't know if we would be capable of finding someone to do it and b) there were very specific plans made with Savael being involved and c) Savael has Khaira's harp, which was one of the main reasons for Khaira doing this journey In short, a lot rests on Savael participating in this adventure. For this reason, I'd hope that both Savael and Piper would return. Unfortunately, even if Piper does become very active with the drow group, there'd still be the problem with Savael's group. And I'm afraid that if we took Savael out of the equation of this adventure, that would mean changing many of the future plans of this adventure. It'd likely mean starting out from scratch again... So, yes, I am leaning quite heavily towards #3 ... it just seems like the logical decision at this point. I'd also wonder how quickly #3 (which is intended as temporary) would turn into a permanent thing. :banghead: :surrender
Taeldrin Laesrash 02-20-06, 05:05 PM	Sigh. These are dark days for the MoP boards. I'm fine with #3, and I'm really sorry that this has happened, Khaira.
Agudo Archmage 02-20-06, 06:27 PM	Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai And Myranthor predicted it, too. O' really? Anyway onto why were all here Khaira Wake up to the fact that all of my adventures are doomed to fail. ...because that's sure what it's feeling like. This is apporximately the 6th or 7th thread that has fallen by the wayside, because of whatever reason. I've lost count because I'm past caring to count. I'm all too tempted to just pull out of any and all threads I run, since all of them have gone bad for some reason or another. Maybe just finish writing my short story since that, most likely, would have a better quality end result that the condition of this present adventure. By admitting this Khaira doesn’t mean your a bad GM.... it means its the first step to fixing a good game that ran into normal problems And let it not be said I kick someone when there down so lets see here Hmmm.... Well the fact is Khaira you have several good players still in the game such as Ruthia, Lill’me and from the looks of it Taeldrin Laesrash and of course with all do humbleness me Rocky-AKA-the much beloved pillar of the community Agudo Why not use what we have here? Thats better than throwing away all the hard work Perhaps Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai and Ruthia would be kind enough to pick up the slack as the sub bad guys and add their own fun ideas to the story I believe sooner or latter Savael will return and we will jump to that part of the story when he does....will just go straight for the ending plot that being the Harp I mean really do you want it to end like this? :(
Eidrog 02-20-06, 09:00 PM	Yes, it sure seems like the Map of the Planes is going through a hard time. But, don't despair. There's still adventure and excitement out there to be found, and still friendly and talented friends to play with. Although it's really too bad things aren't coming together as nicely as one would hope. One thing that I think everyone wishes for their adventures is that everything will run smoothly and exactly the way they want it to. Particularly when it's a large adventure and a lot of work has gone into putting it together. Unfortunately, I find that things rarely turn out exactly how we want them to, even in the case of real D&D games. Remember the game Chris and I were building? We must have spent untold hours putting it together and thinking of challenges for the PC's to go though. But in the end, it never got off the ground. I think our problem was we made it too big for us to manage. And actually, we did call on a few people to help us DM it, but the problem there was other folks had their own fantastic ideas that didn't mesh with our fantastic ideas - and, I suppose the whole thing unraveled on itself. I know that's not really what's happening here. That was just my example of my game falling apart before it even started. :) However, maybe this adventure is too articulate. The wonderful thing about a very articulate adventure is that the planning really shines though when things are working well. But when a problem occurs there's not a lot of lee-way to make changes. In our adventure Myranthor's character, Luika played a huge role in it! If Luika for whatever reason was unable to make posts however, our adventure would be in great peril - and with very few options available to us that would let the story continue and still have the story make sense. I think that's what's happened here with Savael leaving. I can't know for sure because I only have a very limited knowledge of the story, but that's what it looks like. But, the story must go on! Right? I know this is a bad example and I hope Ruthia doesn't shun me for it (albeit she has every right to) But in Evil Intentions when Gene stopped posting as Blanc Thanos I made Jerado assume control of his fortress to keep the story going. I hope it didn't look as desperate as how I felt when I was writing Jerado's take over. But the fact of the matter was Elvina was in Blanc Thano's fortress, the heroes were going towards Blanc Thano's fortress - So there better be some villains for the heroes to fight in Blanc Thano's fortress! :) Even if it's something cheesy like that, at least the story continues. A simple solution is probably better than a complicated one. Cuz then you don't have to think too hard explaining why it happened. Unfortunately mine and Chris' life got very busy then. And we went from posting in little adventures to posting in none. :bigeyes: You guys can kick us in the teeth for that if you want to. You're still my friends and I'm very fond of the memories I have of you all. :) Any way. I would really like to see this adventure still work. If it doesn't work, we'll all be ugly monsters and hate each other forever. (ok, maybe not, but still - wouldn't it be nice to give this tale a happy ending?) What's important here is that Kharia gets her harp back! She's been without it for much too long and she'll have to start taking lute lessons if she doesn't get it back soon. As I see it that's the main plot (Well, maybe minus the lute part) If Savael isn't holding onto the harp anymore than who is? There's something holding onto it and it's important that the heroes defeat it. This is where you have to take what you've got and make the absolute best of it. What's important to the players is that there's challenges to over come and an elusive prize at the end. What those challenges are is completely up to the creativity of the DM - but make em tough! And try to kill Rocky in one of them for Kheldar. :P You might end up with a story a little different then you originally planned for. And that's ok. You've got to use what you got. As long as people are having fun that's what counts the most! - Eidrog
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-20-06, 09:22 PM	Hey, Edbrog, if you're back now, why don't we continue Evil Intentions? As for the current adventure, while you and Agudo have a point, i know all too well myself how irritating and repulsive can be the thought of forfeiting something you worked on for long, untill it was finally perfect, and make something lesser, or even merely different isntead. So i'll perfectly understand Khaira if she chooses #3, and will hope that one day we can pick it up from where we left off, once Sava is back. As for all those people Agudo mentioned, i'm willing to start something that might keep us playing untill then.
Eidrog 02-20-06, 10:13 PM	Sorry guys, I'm afraid I'm not back. I just saw what was happening and wanted to add my contribution. My concern with choice #3 is it's very likely the same as choice #4, the more people you're depending on the greater the risk is that it might not happen. "You have to work with what you have, otherwise you have nothing." That's one of my teacher's favorite quotes. And as much as it puts my back up sometimes, it's true.
Khaira 02-20-06, 10:45 PM	Thats better than throwing away all the hard work Perhaps Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai and Ruthia would be kind enough to pick up the slack as the sub bad guys and add their own fun ideas to the story ...do you want it to end like this? No worries about me simply completely ending it ... though, I wish Piper would return and take hold of his drow again. I've put far too much work and thought into this to just let it slide away into the dark death of failed adventures ... I've simply had too many of those. Am I frustrated? Yes. Am I incredibly dissapointed that this has happened for the umpteenth time in one of my thread? Yes, definitely. Do I wish I could drag Piper and Savael back here by their noses? Yes, more than you can imagine... Have I had intentions of truly giving this up? Hells no. And yes, I understand that we have many talented people here, but I'm afraid we may not have enough to go around. We would have to fill in for Savael, most definitely. I don't know what Piper's situation is with family and time and all, either, so I would probably have to fill in for him or find somebody else to fill in for him. However, maybe this adventure is too articulate... I think that's what's happened here with Savael leaving. I can't know for sure because I only have a very limited knowledge of the story, but that's what it looks like. But, the story must go on! Right?... It is quite articulate, yes. And the problem with Savael is deeper than simply, "Crap. I have to find somebody to fill in now." Well, that's probably obvious anyway... In any case, the sub DMs were, in fact, carefully selected, to emphasize the knowledge of Khaira's history which is, really, the *main* point of this adventure. Those two characters - Savael and Piper's drow - were to be important, integral parts of this adventure. One might say that getting Khaira's harp back is *actually* a secondary goal. The primary goal of this adventure is to further emphasize and elaborate on Khaira's until-now-shady past, and to relate how so many individuals desire revenge upon her, for various reasons. This is why it's so detrimental that Piper and Savael are gone. I'm really not sure what to do at this point - who I can find to replace, what kind of a role I can put them in to still have relatively the same storyline, and how it *would* affect this adventure. So i'll perfectly understand Khaira if she chooses #3 My concern with choice #3 is it's very likely the same as choice #4, the more people you're depending on the greater the risk is that it might not happen. The reason I was leaning towards #3 was because, really, of a blind hope. I was hoping that, given enough time, Savael and Piper would pop back on, we could enlist more people for this adventure, and we could have a really kick-ass game...but, like I said, that's a blind hope. There's no knowing whether Savael will come back at all. And I have no knowing what condition Piper's family chaos is in right now. I just don't know, and have no way of knowing. On the flip side of Waukeen's coin, though, I'm afraid if I try to replace the carefully chosen, selected characters with others who weren't designed with the storyline in mind, it won't have have same effect. In fact, I'm almost sure of that, not because I doubt anyone's talent or ability, but because the inviduals (as I've said probably twenty times already, and everyone's wishing I'd not say it again) were explicitly chosen with a very specific storyline in mind. Maybe, then, that is my problem... So, I really haven't made a decision about what to do yet but, out of curiosity, is there anyone hear that would be willing, capable, or possessing of the time to play second or third characters?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-21-06, 01:36 AM	Well, i'm already playing three. I would offer taking over with either, but i donlt think that's possible: the reasons with Treemmouphindar are obvious; as for Stfu - he's just not the type to take over. He may not be the clearest lens in the gnomish infruclampiderasator, but he knows leading a party would mean more responsibility than he cares to have, as well as more "work". As a final resort, i could forfeit Stfu, and play someone else on the vastan side, someone who would be more suitable for a takeover.
ruthia 02-22-06, 12:27 AM	I'll go with your decision K~ and I'll help out in anyway you see fit. And I'd add my take on all of the dead threads..But concidering I've given up making storylines here and have vowed never to start another one....well you can pretty much guess how my feelings are.... :mad:
Agudo Archmage 02-22-06, 01:51 PM	Well Khaira you have us on the road and its clear those who are here want to play Soooo why not retitle this or start another one and will join it can be the classic Adventuring group ......lets see we have a shape changing Sorceress (Ruthia) Hot tempered Dragon Slaying Bard (Khaira) or so some adorable blond tavern owning Elf is spreading around A Gnome with a serous stomach problem (Lill”Me) Basically he eats for two lol And of course a Dwarvin Bounty Hunter (Rocky) He was even thinking of taking a bath for this adventure :P In any case we have dedicated players lets do something :D
ruthia 02-22-06, 02:20 PM	*Volunteers to personally drop Rocky in a nice glacier feed lake she knows of... ;) *
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-22-06, 03:05 PM	A resonating "No!" for renaming the thread, but a firm "Hmm, yeah..." for starting a new one with the players whom we know will stick around. And by "stomach problem", do you happen to be refering to my little... umm... errrr... that thing Kulideb once met?
Agudo Archmage 02-22-06, 06:54 PM	ruthia *Volunteers to personally drop Rocky in a nice glacier feed lake she knows of Ahh just like Shrek 1 the dragon falls in love with the Donkey ...opps...I mean Dwarf (No Skinny Dipping) Lil"me A resonating "No!" for renaming the thread, but a firm "Hmm, yeah..." for starting a new one with the players whom we know will stick around. And by "stomach problem", do you happen to be refering to my little... umm... errrr... that thing Kulideb once met? Im not Eeeeevvvvveeeennnn going to use the low brow high school yet lighthearted joke that goes just soooo perfectly with what you just said Lil'Me about you and Kuli Nope...not going to do it :rofl:
Khaira 02-22-06, 07:47 PM	Well, considering recent feedback and comments, I have decided two things. I am not going to close this thread or postpone it. In some form or another, it will continue The individuals who have stayed faithful to this thread have waited too long to play this game, and it is unfair to make those of you who have been patient wait because of the actions and decisions of other individuals. So, then, I need some clarification. A resonating "No!" for renaming the thread, but a firm "Hmm, yeah..." for starting a new one with the players whom we know will stick around. Simply editing out Piper's drow character and Savael's character ... or, at least, not making them main characters. Unfortunately, this would also mean saying bye-bye to the well thought out characters in those two groups, so I'm afraid to do that. I am thinking, though, that I made myself two dependent on these two individuals - I forgot that life happens, and people will not always be able to remain in an adventure. Editing out the two groups, but reinstituing a new leader so that the members of those groups still have the same opportunity to play. My thoughts are this: both Niura and Savael, as the leaders of their respective groups, have sent the members of their groups, in their entirety, ahead to "scout". Both leaders, however, get sidetracked/delayed. This would give an opportunity for members of those respective groups to still play. It would be up to them, though, I guess, if they would still hunt Khaira... Thoughts, members of Savael's and Niura's group (and everyone else, too)? Starting some other short adventure to give members opportunity to play. I don't know what, however, we would play. Thoughts? Suggestions? Redoing this adventure in all of its entirety so that Savael and Niura are no longer a part of it - ever - but so that the members of those groups are. I haven't quite figured out the logistics of this or how it could work yet... That's
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-22-06, 08:05 PM	The best ways to vote are with one's feet and with one's wallet. *Treem lies on his back and waves all his legs in the air for option #2. That makes 8 votes!* *Stfu lies several neat piles of gold at the number "2" on the casino table: 750 GP on 2 red!* *The gnome, hwo doesn't care since he's in Khaira's group, looks at Agudo:* "Hey, i may be real short, but there' still a definite separation between my stomach and my pelvis!" :rofl:
Xerafeln 02-22-06, 08:07 PM	Option #2 works fine for me.....::cackle::
ruthia 02-22-06, 08:18 PM	2's good with this dragon, since your groups already moving Khaira.
Taeldrin Laesrash 02-23-06, 09:29 AM	Oh yes...Vzerii, er, I am fine with option 2.
Agudo Archmage 02-23-06, 01:53 PM	Holding a diaper from his newborn he declares with great fanfare Number 2 it is!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Niura Ma'Hazzen 02-23-06, 07:51 PM	Hmm do I get a vote? Nevermind, but I feel dreadfully embarssed and ashamed at the same time. Not only have a missed so much time out, but I am further delayed by the mysteries of my labtop and wireless internet. I had just got the kettle heated up, and was sitting down to a nice post, when click click. Cannot Find Internet signal! No! I almost spilled hot coffee all over myself. I strained hours to get the thing back up, emptied my hard drive, checked and sweeped fo viruses, but found nothing. I gave up finally and had a friend come over yesterday to look at it. He looks at the computer, back at me in a puzzled expression, and hits a little blue button on the top that looks like....a satelite dish! Beep back on. I wept tears of joy and embraced him in what was a rather man hug. Thus, here am I now. Reading all this stuff about options, and stuff that was my worst fears. So no, you will not have to fill my position not now or ever for a long time. I do not intend to get sick or go away for awhile so I am okay. Everything is fine here. I dont know what you plan to do with Saveal now, but I intend to move the drow group, or what is left of it. After I post this, I'm going right to the ic and doing likewise. Look on the bright side, I finished two short stories with this off net time :P Sorry all for the wait. :weep:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-23-06, 08:27 PM	Glad yo have you back, Piper! Ahh, i sure wish Savael could be brought back by activating a satelite dish or something...
Khaira 02-23-06, 10:13 PM	So no, you will not have to fill my position not now or ever for a long time. I do not intend to get sick or go away for awhile so I am okay. Everything is fine here. I dont know what you plan to do with Saveal Praise all the gods and the goddesses and even the great, uncaring Ao him/her/itself! Hell, I'll even thank the great, abominable Abyss and Celestia and bow down before the Powers Mighty that you have not run away or encountered any other delay. Yay! If I could do the Matrix thing, float through the computer/phone lines to your end and give you a great big HUG, I would ... except you'd probably call the police on me for such strange and awkward behavior ... and I would have the agents on me, too ... they're everywhere ... everywhere I tell you! Don't you see them? They're agents, agents of the system, and they are guarding.... Ahem. Sorry. Too much sugar ... and matrix ... and coffee ... and way too much brainfrying via studying. Bad combination. Very bad combination. Badder combination than you could possibly know. I just said badder ... and I'm rambling about many different tangents now. Where was I now? :looloo: :doh: ...oh, yes...welcome back (and thank you for coming back!), evil scum of a drow! :D And as for Savael ... he will be edited out of this adventure. I'm still trying to figure out what I'll do with the harp thing... but I'll figure something out, I'm sure. Maybe, if there's a chance of him returning, I'll simply have him command the current individuals to scout out Khaira and attempt to weaken her for the final battle. Ho hum. There's also the matter of trying to get the members of Savael's party to the new and revised position that they'll need to be in to continue. Argh...
Niura Ma'Hazzen 02-23-06, 10:21 PM	Ummm.... I love you too?! Sorry, couldnt think I anything else to say, and It seemed right. Anyway, you plan on editing him out? I thought you said he would be gone for a week, did I read wrong? ...oh, yes...welcome back (and thank you for coming back!), evil scum of a drow! Heh. If you only knew. :rolleyes:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-24-06, 12:25 PM	I thought you said he would be gone for a weekI freaking WISH.Khaira, I'm sorry about this, but I think I'm going to need a prolonged break from the Wizards Boards. I doubt he would speak of a "prolonged break" is a mere week was in question... :={ But even with Sava gone, atleast we still have you, Piper! And we're gonna call you Jonny and dress you like a bunny and feed you and hug you and lovvve you! ^_^ :P
ruthia 02-24-06, 12:55 PM	*pets the Piper bunny after over coming the urge to eat him :embarrass * Welcome back P man. Oh and fyi, Sav did this in Evil too and we all saw how that turned out. Don't keep your fingers crossed, you'll hurt them keeping them crossed that long. :rolleyes:
Khaira 02-24-06, 01:01 PM	I doubt he would speak of a "prolonged break" is a mere week was in question... :={ He didn't specify if he was going to come back soon or if he was going to take a long, long vacation from it all. It all depends on how he feels, apparently. He left me with the decision to make regarding his whole, entire group. So that was thoughtful of him. He did mention that he was going to let me know, in a week, how he felt. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one ... like Ruthia said, that'd be painful, and I'd probably die soon. I'm going to make plans to re-involve Savael's group again, probably as independent agent(s) so that, should he decide to come back, he'll still have an opportunity to rejoin up again.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-24-06, 08:43 PM	Well, i liked your idea about Savael sending the rest of us {by "us" i mean his group for that context} to scout ahead. On a completely unrelated note, i think i'm giving Atlas a prestge class. Yeah, time i made our lawful friend a bit more interrestung... a Fist of Raziel!
Khaira 02-24-06, 10:01 PM	...yes, I'll probably go with that idea. However, there were other plans that Savael was going to take on, that I'll now have to modify, revise, and possibly re write. So argh... But don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. I'm very glad that this adventure will be able to continue ... as long as nobody else runs away. Because if anyone else runs away, I'll have to hire hitmen to hunt you down, beat you up, and drag you back. And those dudes get costly after a while! :D
Agudo Archmage 02-25-06, 10:51 PM	No need to drag me Ill be posting sunday :)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 02-27-06, 04:40 PM	For incase you're pondering what our wee gnome just did, that was Inflict Moderate Wounds. And in other news, i wanna fall asleep and only wake up in two days. My beloved finally has a free week in two days, unless something went horribly wrong... Feels like months since i've seen her!
Niura Ma'Hazzen 03-01-06, 12:07 PM	I doubt he would speak of a "prolonged break" is a mere week was in question... :={ But even with Sava gone, atleast we still have you, Piper! And we're gonna call you Jonny and dress you like a bunny and feed you and hug you and lovvve you! ^_^ Johnny is out of the question. Nonetheless, it is a nice gesture. *pets the Piper bunny after over coming the urge to eat him * I taste like dragons bane. :D A little too spicy for some bold pern dragons. Well I'm glad to see Khaira's ragtag band of heroes is thriving. Yet I'm sad to report that my part is lagging. Hopefully I might see that pick up this week. Don't go too far ahead Khaira, or you'll be singing camp songs waiting. And I know each of you would just love the entertainment of Rocky, and his dwarf folk songs!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-01-06, 12:16 PM	Yeah, where are the other underdarkies? There was this male mercenary, and i also faintly recall a chitin? What's our standing number, anyway?
Agudo Archmage 03-01-06, 12:38 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen Don't go too far ahead Khaira, or you'll be singing camp songs waiting. And I know each of you would just love the entertainment of Rocky, and his dwarf folk songs! Flexes his arms lets out a mighty dwarven belch and throws his axe up into the air as Rocky proclaims to all Ye wish is me command .....I be a little Tea Pot short and stout ...here is my spout.... :yuck:
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-01-06, 06:25 PM	BTW, Khaira, if Savael really has left, will his party be sent on their way anytime soon?
Khaira 03-01-06, 09:14 PM	Piper, you need to read the two private messages I sent you. Things will become clearer then. Thank you. Taeldrin, yes, Savael's party will be moving out soon, without Savael. As soon as I get the chance to make another post, in fact. Quathmoir - Yes, the drow party was much larger than it is presently. When we started, it consisted of Niura, your drider, Xerafeln, Arshes' shadow dragon something or other, and a drow mercenary, played by Darshendros. The latter two dissapeared off the face of MotP, and all attempts made to contact the latter two received no response.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-02-06, 03:02 AM	Well, where's Xerafeln, there? And is there a chance we can recruit another member to compensate for the two players who left?
Khaira 03-02-06, 02:21 PM	Well, where's Xerafeln, there? And is there a chance we can recruit another member to compensate for the two players who left? This is a direct quote from the IC thread, on page 3, from the “Hunt for Khaira’s Harp” adventure thread, Post #78. The drow stood easily outside the gates of the holdings of House Ma'Hazzen, caring not to entry the sprawling grounds again. His pack was secured, hanging beneath his dark cloak. He watched the heat build in Narbondel at the urging of the master of the Sorcere, trying to fight the smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Strange that I can find such wonder in such a small thing as that, he thought, one hand resting on the pommel of his blade. He stood and waited, staring at Narbonel, waiting for the priestess and the drider to arrive. Post #78, page 3, http://boards.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=8295699&postcount=78. OH, and page 3 is also where Savael's group was stuck ... so we've been waiting on *you* Piper. Pay attention, please.
Khaira 03-02-06, 05:43 PM	And is there a chance we can recruit another member to compensate for the two players who left? Be my guest. I've tried that, too ... either everybody hates me or involvement is just s**t on the MotP. I'd guess it's a combination of both of those, but more so the latter one. I don't know who we could get. Not sure who would play an evil character with the drow (and a drider), nonetheless. If anyone knows of any people, I'm open to options.
Captain Binkle 03-03-06, 02:28 AM	I am sorry for falling off the face of the plane for the forth time. It's been real hard to post when your life gets in the way too much. I will let you all know when I will make my return. Hopefully, it will be longer than a few weeks. Once again I am truely sorry to everyone.

I guess now I'm a prime example of one of my favorite Minimaxims, "Don't come up the net behind nothing." Thanks for correcting me. Oh Khaira, I read your last two private messages, and you said there was a third on coming up. You may have sent that, but I didn't get it because I just noticed my inbox was full. So ty again.

Khaira 03-03-06, 01:12 PM	Argh. I just emptied out my sent items. I remember, vaguely, what it was about though, so I'll try to send that third one again tonight or tommorrow night.

The captain lives! :) Well at least you didn’t go down with the ship like the Titanic Don’t feel to bad Binkle it seems we have lost a few posters Yet the game continues
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-03-06, 08:18 PM	Yo Binkle, any chance you'll betray us in favor of us? That would make the numbers a bit more balanced. As for Xera, i was expressing worry for his OOC location, not his IC one. Is he still with us and ready to post? Also, who's still alive and active in the vastan party? I've seen Taeldrin post, and i know that I am here, but how about the others?

I've seen Taeldrin post, and i know that I am here, but how about the others? I'm sorry, friend. But I can not stray from the side of good. Though I do have other characters that i could use. Once I am certain that I have use of a computer for longer than a month, that is. The game is reloving around a drow conflict, correct? If so, i have a drow who is very capible. Let me know.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-04-06, 12:24 PM	*Looks from Khaira to piper and back, repeatedly* Hey, he said he has a drow! Oh can we keep him, can we, can we? Ohpretypleezewidsuagrondatop? We'll call it johnny and dress it like a bunny and feed it and pet it and lovvvvvvvvve it!
Niura Ma'Hazzen 03-04-06, 12:35 PM	*Looks from Khaira to piper and back, repeatedly* Hey, he said he has a drow! Oh can we keep him, can we, can we? Ohpretypleezewidsuagrondatop?

What do you have in mind?
Captain Binkle 03-07-06, 02:49 AM	**Smiles broadly** I don't have the character in front of me, but his name means "Silent Death" in the drow tounge. Where are the drow in the story? And No, we will not dress him up like a bunny............. Maybe, a squirrel or a chipmunk. No bunnies!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-07-06, 08:27 AM	*imagines Niura in a bunny suit, looking around in pure rage as she seeks someone who will pay for this* We're on our way out of Menzoberranzan right now. So will E. Venorik be joining us? {Don't forget to reach a consensus with Khaira & Piper before you do, though}
ruthia 03-07-06, 08:36 AM	Yes PLEASE get khaira's ok before doing ANY of this guys......My eyeballs can't stand another rant like last time.... :eek:
Captain Binkle 03-10-06, 02:29 AM	Too true. I really don't want to be the cause of a second rant. So, this is me asking to rejoin the post (At a time I can be more relible). Also, what year is it? Pre-TOT (Time of Troubles) or Post-TOT?
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-10-06, 09:29 AM	I'm guessing that it's 1373 DR, the current Realms time.
ruthia 03-10-06, 11:29 AM	ummm....She can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Hunt is a year behind current realm..... Only because certain things that have happened between our characters have not happened as of the time of this story.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 03-10-06, 12:33 PM	Too true. I really don't want to be the cause of a second rant. So, this is me asking to rejoin the post (At a time I can be more relible). Also, what year is it? Pre-TOT (Time of Troubles) or Post-TOT? There was actually a debate about this when we were first starting. The problem for the drow was, that at current date, Lolth is still Silent and that prohibits preistess from casting spells. So we decided it would be before that, which a year behind as Ruthia stated. I could be wrong though. Check with Khaira to be sure. I'll be posting tonight if I have time.
Khaira 03-10-06, 01:33 PM	There was actually a debate about this when we were first starting. The problem for the drow was, that at current date, Lolth is still Silent and that prohibits preistess from casting spells. So we decided it would be before that, which a year behind as Ruthia stated. Most correct. This adventure is intended as the backdrop and basis and reason for certain developmental issues that happen at a later date. This adventure happens after the trial (obviously), but before the current time of Faerun. I'll try to look at a timeline and try to get the exact year, if such is needed.

Always knew there were issues :P
Xerafeln 03-11-06, 12:27 AM	Either way, it's very, very post Time of Troubles (about fifteen years or so, if I remember correctly). 1372? Yeesh. If that's the case....well. If that's the case, it was quite the busy year for Xer (but that's another story for another day).
Khaira 03-18-06, 10:10 PM	Sorry I've been so delayed in making any progess in this, y'all ... this has been a crazy, stupid, insane week. Of course, totaling my car yesterday didn't necessaily make it any better. Like I told Ruthia's player ... I swear the universe is out to get me. Anyway, I hope that this week is sleightly more stable...even though from what is already on my jam packed schedule, that might not be the case. I'll just have to see how creatively intent the universe is on maiming, dismembering, or otherwise inducing life-long pain on me this week. Anyway, I should be moving both Khaira's and Niura's drow on to the next destination. Gods, sometimes i hate doing everything... Khaira's player begins to think about actually saying "No" to everyone else's projects....
ruthia 03-18-06, 10:32 PM	*attempts to teach Khaira the feat of "Just Say NO!"*
Captain Binkle 03-19-06, 12:05 AM	Everyone. I have a small favor to ask. Could someone post as Jaxaral for me? Venorik is a member of his mercenary group. I know i've been asking alot and not posting, but please bear with me.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-19-06, 04:19 AM	And i'm sorry for holding Khaira's group back. I'll post today for the gnome, as soon as i can. I was just distracted by stuff, and concentrated on finally starting the IC Do2W threads i promissed. :=}
Niura Ma'Hazzen 03-20-06, 11:58 AM	Sorry I've been so delayed in making any progess in this, y'all ... this has been a crazy, stupid, insane week.

Some I havnt even started on. I should start a rebellion and overthrow our insane literature teacher !>< Anyway Ive caught i break and will be posting tonight. Until then, back to research........ I think I'm going to be "burning the midnight wax tonight" in order to keep up on my part.
Xerafeln 03-20-06, 06:51 PM	::pats Piper:: You, me, and all the rest...two major term papers due at the end of April....and only one is started (and I have 15 pages of it due on Thursday....ack.....). Don't go to grad school if you don't want more of the same ^_~
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-21-06, 04:21 PM	Ruthia, i keep forgetting to ask you: do you have a writeup on the entire pernish family somewhere? If so, i'd like to read it, as i sometimes get confused about them. :=} I fixed Brad's color in my post, btw.
Khaira 03-21-06, 11:47 PM	You know, I was really, reallly, really, really going to catch up on this adventure and all of the other ones, too ... but then I spent 10-12 hours on campus, cramming my head full of the painful Sound and the Fury, and received more projects to work on and discovered I had to start all over on another of my blasted projects and attended a two hour discussion on above-stated pain-inducing book... so now I feel as a zombie must feel. Braindead and eager to devour many pieces of brain fluid to reinvigorate myself. What was I saying again?? :confused: Oh, yes ... I am completely braindead after studying from the time I got up this morning to ... just a half an hour ago. You can look forward to my catch-up tommorrow ... provided the same thing doesn't happen to me again. Grumbles as he is reminded that he has yet another 3 hour meeting to attend tommorrow night and that he will probably not have more than 15 minutes to himself again tommorrow night...

Taeldrin Laesrash 03-23-06, 09:39 AM	Well, Ruthia, my first thought is that you (The dragon) need(s) to be a bit more responsible. Seven kids? I mean, sure Malendor and Star had five, but who can resist a nymph?
ruthia 03-23-06, 02:38 PM	Well, Ruthia, my first thought is that you (The dragon) need(s) to be a bit more responsible. Seven kids? I mean, sure Malendor and Star had five, but who can resist a nymph? For the record, all of Ruthia, Branth, Beth, and Serith's current children are under the age of one. Just food for thought ;)
Agudo Archmage 03-23-06, 10:22 PM	Well Ruthia as long as others have broached the subject of your In Char Family I couldn’t help but wonder if your real life husband has notice that most of your "Story Char Men" have been bumped off.....In very dramatic ways wink wink :help:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-24-06, 02:38 PM	Awesome! If you feel like telling, i'd sure like knowing a little about Ormus, Maril, Xion, Kitten, Kalyn, Zayle and Star. I realize Maril and Kalyn were elves, Xion a tiefling, Zayle a human, Star a nymph and Kitten a lion {an awakened one, i assume}, but who was Ormus, and what are the stories behind these unions? A question to Taeldrin: Is the impression of Vzerii having a particularily short memory intentional, or did you just OOCly forget about the previous post by the time you made that one? Cause it's a bit confusing: As Jezra and Vzerii parted, and were already making the first steps in the direction of theyr respective rooms to make final preparations, the trio finally arrived at the entrance of the sparring hall {ouf of which the two abovementioned women were assumingly coming}. Both human servants remained silent, as the kobold spoke: "Ah, greetings, fair ladies!", he exclaimed with a tone that suggested civil fascination with theyr beauty, "Allow me to introduce myself: Stfu Kacdill; traveler, scholar, and hero of the people." With that, he bowed corteously, his prolongued muzzle almost touching his knees. <and so on, see post>As she opened the door to the outside, she called to Jezra and Stfu. "Since we will be traveling together," She says, "We might as well get the introductions over with. One of you two first."
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-24-06, 06:17 PM	Eh, sorry. Forgot OOC.
Khaira 03-24-06, 09:54 PM	There is just one thing that I feel the absolute need to say...... SPRING BREAK! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! :cheer: :w00t: :cloud9: :bounce:
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-24-06, 10:40 PM	Lucky. Mine's not for another two weeks.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-25-06, 08:59 AM	*sighs*... My last spring break was in my university days... Thok miss much university.
Khaira 03-25-06, 10:07 PM	*sighs*... My last spring break was in my university days... Thok miss much university. I wouldn't really call it spring break. You can have my spring break if you want ... that includes the essay I have to write, the I.Q. test I have to analyze, the lab I have to do, and the algebra I have to do. :P And also, to let y'all know, I'm going to be gone these next couple of days, at least until Monday night or Tuesday morning. I'm going to actually take advantage of this brief spring break and visit some friends I haven't seen in a while. I hope that things take become too chaotic while I'm gone but, in the event that things became too greatly and insanely chaotic, Ruthia knows how to get ahold of me.
Khaira 03-25-06, 11:20 PM	Everyone. I have a small favor to ask. Could someone post as Jaxaral for me? Venorik is a member of his mercenary group. I know i've been asking alot and not posting, but please bear with me. Actually, the name is Jarlaxle of Bregan D'arthe. You could be refering to some other leader of an Underdark mercenary group, but I can only assume that's whom you mean... Perhaps I missed it, but did you ever say what kind of character you were planning on having? And is your situation now stable enough where you will be able to actively participate? And, lastly, why is it that you need action from Jarlaxle, and what needs to be addressed in that post? Your character's orders? An introduction? A starting point? Something different?
ruthia 03-26-06, 12:57 AM	*Breaks out the whip and chains and grins* Mama RUTHIA's babysitting! *evil cackle here!* :evillaugh :dragon:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-26-06, 06:54 PM	Whips and chains, eh? Hmm, yes, the Crazy Drow Lady i mentioned actually told me a few things about what can be done with a whip without hurting anyone. ;) Enjoy your break, Khaira! Be smarter than this silly kitty, who spent his last spring break in a cold, cruel and degenerate land, finding out that being naked in a windy forest when it's around 0 degrees celsium is, after all, not for him.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 03-26-06, 11:36 PM	Actually, the name is Jarlaxle of Bregan D'arthe.

And, lastly, why is it that you need action from Jarlaxle, and what needs to be addressed in that post? Your character's orders? An introduction? A starting point? Something different? I really hope Khaira is wrong on this one, and you meant to spell that name wrong. That would be copywriting a character from Bob Salvatore, thats been in many of his books, and using it as your own. I could see it happening in a Tabletop dungeons and dragons game, to have him jump in, but roleplaying is a different story. I would not permit you to play in my party if this is the case, unless you contacted Bob himself and asked permission. Which is near impossible, and I won't even go into that. Perhaps you create a rendition of Jarlaxe. They can be of like personality, but change his name, and his past. That would be perfectly fine with me. I hope that things take become too chaotic while I'm gone but, in the event that things became too greatly and insanely chaotic, Ruthia knows how to get ahold of me. Cool so you must have your own bat signal. Or wait...we could just let Rocky scream out "Thunder Thighs!" Ruthia, your family tree is so huge, it perplexed me! You know the other day I was browsing the library and came upon one of Ann Mcfrays?? books about dragons and pern. I was going to check it out, but it looked really dirty, so I decided next when I go to the mall I'll just buy it. Finally whos is this drow lady you keep mentioning Quathmoir?! Is it an imagionary friend, but it can't be since Khaira's knows about it. Or could it be you share made up friends? I don't know. Im so hurt you left me out! :weep: I should be posting sometime tomm evening.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-27-06, 04:39 AM	I was browsing the library and came upon one of Ann Mcfrays?? books about dragons and pern. I was going to check it out, but it looked really dirtyRuthia is into such dirrrrrrrty books. Hence her recent choice of "babysitting tools" falling on a whip and some chains. :=P Finally whos is this drow lady you keep mentioning Quathmoir?! Is it an imagionary friend, but it can't be since Khaira's knows about it. Or could it be you share made up friends? I don't know. Im so hurt you left me out! :weep: A real person, actually, whom i met recently over a forum {which has nothing to do with roleplaying}, and then met with in person. She has a major obsession with spiders, drow, et c. An imaginary friend? Heh, if i chose to have an imaginary friend, it would much more likely be a "mischievous pixie girl", or "silly halfling girl", or even a "fragile half-ghost girl" {hey!}, rahter than a "crazy drow lady". :cool: If i understand Binkle correctly {and i'm quite sure i do}, he does not claim Jarlaxle as his character. His character is Venorik Eleghinn, who happens to be a member of Jarlaxle's mercenary army. A DM or sub-DM posting on behalf of Jarlaxle, sending Venorik on his mission, would make no more violation of copyrights than a DM who lets one of his players join the Purple Dragons. Sure, it requires the king of Cromyr to personally knight him {i think}, but using famous NPCs in your game is no copyright violation against those who created these NPCs. They were created to be used.
Agudo Archmage 03-27-06, 05:02 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen That would be copywriting a character from Bob Salvatore, thats been in many of his books, and using it as your own. I could see it happening in a Tabletop dungeons and dragons game, to have him jump in, but roleplaying is a different story. I would not permit you to play in my party if this is the case, unless you contacted Bob himself and asked permission. Yaaaa knooowww I was thinking about this for some time now and well.... Lol The fact is as far as I know everything put on the MOP Boards belongs to the Wizards of the Coast Corporation So since they own all of Bobs books that deal with Forgotten Realms and that we are playing on there web place.....you can pretty much be anything and anyone you want that Wiz people own They gave the OK when they made the web place knowing all the story stuff we make is there to use :gah:
Khaira 03-28-06, 12:25 AM	Cool so you must have your own bat signal. Or wait...we could just let Rocky scream out "Thunder Thighs!" ...or one could just use a cell phone, too. ;) You know the other day I was browsing the library and came upon one of Ann Mcfrays?? books about dragons and pern. I was going to check it out, but it looked really dirty, so I decided next when I go to the mall I'll just buy it. You were surprised it was dirty? This coming from the sex-driven drow priestess? :rolleyes: And of course the Pern books are revealing. Why do you think Khaira's such a friend of Pern and Ruthia? Surely you didn't think it was just because Ruthia likes Khaira, did ya? :cool:
ruthia 03-28-06, 12:58 AM	Yeah, Khaira has LOT"S of boyfriends....I mean girlfirends...I mean FRIENDS on Pern ;)
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-28-06, 07:33 AM	Why do you think Khaira's such a friend of Pern and Ruthia? Surely you didn't think it was just because Ruthia likes Khaira, did ya? :cool:Hmm, Khaira X Ruthia, eh? And i know JUST the person to render this on Poser! :P
ruthia 03-28-06, 07:42 AM	Hmm, Khaira X Ruthia, eh? And i know JUST the person to render this on Poser! :P :P Your just mad cause there now lik green kitty in the middle
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-28-06, 09:50 AM	Yaaaa knooowww I was thinking about this for some time now and well....

Wizards may run the boards, but it is in no way related to their literary section. As far as I know, Salvatore doesn't work for Wizards, so using Jarlaxe would still violate the laws concerning his intellectual property. It's a big difference from King Azoun since the king hasn't been used as a concrete character in a story. He's specifically created for the setting, while Jarlaxe is a character from the books. Now, Binkle's character could be sent by Jarlaxe to do something, or could have left the group, but as long as we don't actually touch upon the character, the lawyers can't do a thing to us. Hmm, Khaira X Ruthia, eh? And i know JUST the person to render this on Poser! AACK!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-28-06, 10:44 AM	It's a big difference from King Azoun since the king hasn't been used as a concrete character in a story. Alright, Kelemvor was one of the main characters in the Avatar series, as a mortal. Now that he is a deity, it's still the same character, only risen to divinity. Would that mean that a DM sending one of the characters {a priest of Kelemvor, for example} a vision from that deity is violating copyrights? And how about Elminster? Many DMs used him a a major NPC, and yet he is the main character of many books. <something about> green kitty in the middle Khaira, Ruthia AND Flwee-Glooey? Kinky! :D
Agudo Archmage 03-28-06, 04:22 PM	Taeldrin Laesrash As far as I know, Salvatore doesn't work for Wizards, Well its a big company under many names from D&D ,Wizards of the Coast and TSR....But when it comes right down to it all Faerun stuff in books and on MOP belongs to the Company and that means Salvatore stuff on Faerun and his Char's But hay its cool its a story web place we just make short story to tell and like I said they own them as well lol Originally Posted by ruthia <something about> green kitty in the middle Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai Khaira, Ruthia AND Flwee-Glooey? Kinky! Im sure it must have been a miss communication by Ruthia On a side note why green?......Never mind I dont want to know! :embarrass
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-28-06, 05:59 PM	"Why green"? :=S Well, what color did you think Flwee-Glooey is? Anyway, sorry for my lazyness, i'll reply as both the gnome and Stfu tomorrow. Elections today, and i got 3 votes in without doing anything that would get them voided. So yeah, i'm tired now, and need my sleep. :=D ~ties ginger ribbons to Ruthia's tail, Khaira's clothes, Rocky's beard {how redundant of me}, around Lil'Me's forehead, to Jezra's whip, Vzerii's wings, Stfu's NECK, Niura's hair, Xeraeln's left arm, and Treemmouphindar's weapon.~
Taeldrin Laesrash 03-28-06, 08:34 PM	Vzerii has wings? How'd she hide that from me?
Faeryl 03-28-06, 10:20 PM	Well its a big company under many names from D&D ,Wizards of the Coast and TSR....But when it comes right down to it all Faerun stuff in books and on MOP belongs to the Company Mmmmm ... TSR. The good days ... wonderful days. The Golden Age. Regardless, if one desired to be really ****-retentive, a person could say that, technically, all Forgotten Realms (and thusly, Faerunian) credit goes, rightly so, to the great and almighty Ed Greenwood.
Khaira 03-28-06, 10:45 PM	Just a general, pre-warning ... there is a chance that my online time (and, thusly, my capability to continue to frequently run this adventure as I have been) will be declining in the next couple of months or, even, weeks or days. I've spoken to a few of you in the past couple of days regarding specifics of the family distresses that have been occurring around me recently. Well, things have gotten worse and, possibly, reached the worse possible conclusion. I don't want to burden everyone with details of what's going on (if you really need to know, you can contact me privately) but, depending on how intense things become in the near future and depending on the reactions of all individuals involved, my time and energy may become more intensely involved in attempting to rebuild the ruins that the events of the past several years have done and dealing with the individuals whose fault this all is... In fact, I'll probably go over the list of individuals in play presently, and attempt to decide whom I think would be best to carry on the plans for this adventure, provided I am forced to take a prolonged leave of absence. Regardless of what happens, I'm going to *try* to locate, determine, and inform certain individuals of what to do in the event that I do have to depart. I'll not let this adventure fall by the wayside.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 03-29-06, 07:16 AM	You go kick some ass now, Khaira. Good luck! Vzerii has wings? How'd she hide that from me?Oups! Sorry, i confused her with jezra. Silly kitty <----
Khaira 03-29-06, 11:27 PM	You go kick some ass now, Khaira. Good luck! You have NOOO idea how much I would dearly enjoy doing that. Unfortunately, the blasted, accursed, meddlesome law stands in my way of doing so... As they say, however, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Captain Binkle 04-02-06, 11:18 PM	Actually, the name is Jarlaxle of Bregan D'arthe. You could be refering to some other leader of an Underdark mercenary group, but I can only assume that's whom you mean... Perhaps I missed it, but did you ever say what kind of character you were planning on having? And is your situation now stable enough where you will be able to actively participate? And, lastly, why is it that you need action from Jarlaxle, and what needs to be addressed in that post? Your character's orders? An introduction? A starting point? Something different? Accually, thats who i ment. Jarlaxle of Bregan D'arthe. Venorik Elghinn is a drow assassin from the Hun'Ett house. He escaped from thet devisating attack on his house with help from an enigmatic drow. Later the drow offered him santuary within his mecenary group, Bregan D'arthe. I need orders to be given to Venorik to link him to the rest of the drow party. Something might have caught Jarlaxle's attention from that group and he want to keep an eye on them. More or less a starting point with his orders. I will take care of my intro. :) My situation is still somewhat in the air, but I can post every few day. Hopefully. ;) And on the subject of copywrite. R.A. Salvatore's charactures are quite unique. We are in the Realms, correct? If using Jarlaxle is copywriting. What about Waterdeep, Zhentarim, or Red Wizards of Thay? Would they not be copywriting as well?
Khaira 04-02-06, 11:33 PM	Binkle, I'd be glad to have you BUT there's some things I need to know and be sure of before I can allow you in. You had a chance before to join with Khaira's party and you were keeping up ... but then you dropped off the face of the planet again. I already had a key member to this game (actually, two of them - Myranthor and Savael), dissapear, resign, run away, whatever you'd like to call it. I do not want to have a person along who may or may not be able to keep up with the group and whom may or may not suddenly dissapear from all things in the blink of an eye. I don't know your present situation or what was delaying you previously, but I will say that if such obstacles are going to hold you up for extended periods of time, please wait until you have such things cleared up and have the time to devote to this adventure.

I like you have a life outside of Wizards. I work the graveyard shift at my job and sleep all day. I don't have much time for anything. Not even my friends. The only time I have off is on Sun. and Mon. Is there someway that we can come to an accord?
Bounder 04-02-06, 11:50 PM	Forgive me if i am posting inappropriately, I am still newish here. I am looking for an adventure and can commit to logging on daily. Are you still recruiting? If I'm in the wrong place, could you please redirect me? Many thanks.
Khaira 04-03-06, 12:30 AM	BounderThis is a good place to begin, Bounder, or as good a place as any. This is the MotP (or, that is, the Map of the Planes), a forum where adventures in any setting can take place. If you hadn't guessed, it is generally a free-form D20 based system. Now, then, if you are interested in joining this adventure, there are some options for you. First of all, you might want to browse the first few pages of this thread to make sure it's something you are interested in. Secondly, this game will be set in the Forgotten Realms. I don't know if that would pose a problem with you or not. Thirdly, if you are interested in participating (and I hope you are!), I would like some general character information about what you would like to play most. This would help me better fit you in ... which leads to my last point. Yes, this adventure has started already but, no, it is not too late to fit you in. Have a glance and see if you'd like to join. Binkle It needs to be okayed by Piper still, and you will have to work with him and I in order to get your character situated. I've rather come to an almost 100% decision that should you decide to fall off the planet of the earth, with no methods in which to communicate with you, your character shall also fall off the planet of Faerun.
Captain Binkle 04-03-06, 12:43 AM	Binkle It needs to be okayed by Piper still, and you will have to work with him and I in order to get your character situated.

I understand and apperciate this opportunity. I will not let you down. Is there anything else you would like to know?
Niura Ma'Hazzen 04-04-06, 09:47 AM	And on the subject of copywrite. R.A. Salvatore's charactures are quite unique. We are in the Realms, correct? If using Jarlaxle is copywriting. What about Waterdeep, Zhentarim, or Red Wizards of Thay? Would they not be copywriting as well? No, never, and thats silly. As Khaira mentioned the almighty Ed created the Forgotten Realms for us to enjoy and be creative. Making your own individual character based in any of these groups metioned is in no means copywriting. But stealing an original concept idea would be. Do you see where I am getting at? Maybe I can elaborate later, I dont have much time. At this moment I am using a school computer in Literature, because my labtop is incapable of working for me. Do any of you know what a local connection error is?! I have wireless, why would i need to connect with anything? Thus, I have not been able to post in a week. Im really sick of satelite, so I am cancelling and going back to dialup. I already have to much stress right now. Captain Binkle private message me about the details on your character, and we will work something out. I should be back up running tonight. Now I really need to run, because there is a line behind me. :weep:
Khaira 04-09-06, 09:30 PM	Still waiting for Rocky and no-name gnome...
ruthia 04-11-06, 05:44 PM	in case anyone's intrested..Branth's twins name is revealed..along with a partically idenity on the next sibling..one I WON'T be playing :O In a while I'll be adding two more marriages..and eventually more offspring... ;) busy busy people...
Niura Ma'Hazzen 05-08-06, 12:13 PM	in case anyone's intrested..Branth's twins name is revealed..along with a partically idenity on the next sibling..one I WON'T be playing :O In a while I'll be adding two more marriages..and eventually more offspring... busy busy people... After I've seen Ruthias rendition of the family tree, this new developement seems scary. Busy indeed, because I only thought dragons breed at a certain time of year. However, Pern dragons must go all year long. :D Well folks, the boards seem slow this time of year. All considered matters in life become more urgent and others, but I know everything will pick up. Speaking of which, I need to post tonight.
Khaira 05-08-06, 01:47 PM	Well folks, the boards seem slow this time of year. All considered matters in life become more urgent and others, but I know everything will pick up. Speaking of which, I need to post tonight. I blame final exam-time for the slowness and the lingering doom of the administrative announcement about the upgrade. *points up* Speaking of which, I've already said this in every other thread I'm in but it's worth saying again ... don't forget to save a back-up copy of your post if you do make one.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 05-10-06, 12:17 PM	Yes, the boards have a way of deleting your work sometimes when you submit, if you spent albeit more than five minutes writing. That's why it is smart to copy and paste constantly into a Word program. Though sometimes I forget myself. I've been catching up on reading some of the threads. Like this new one Agudo has going. Agudo's Book Corner. Minus book part, plus Intrigues. Haha. Speaking of which, I recently finished a poetry project for school, which I very much enjoyed. One of the ballad type poems has Khaira in it. :P Got to remember to send it, so she can either squeal, or laugh over it.
Khaira 05-10-06, 03:19 PM	Actually, the reason I am saying to back up your posts is because of the below, which is also the announcement at the top of the page on every screen. The message boards will be undergoing both a hardware and software upgrade during the month of May. The necessary work will take place on a "snapshot" of the current boards made on May 1. Our estimate is that re-applying the skins/templates/features custom to Wizards boards will take two weeks. The upgraded version of the boards will be made available to the public on May 15. During this two week period, the existing message boards will continue to be available, however no new posts or changes made to user profiles made between May 1 - 15 will be ported over to the new boards. Nor will new registrations be accepted during this period. And you wrote a poem about me? Awww ... I'll either have to scream like a banshee and take a rusty spoon to you or put you on the lower portion of my "To Hit" list. ;)
Seran 05-10-06, 05:12 PM	I'm lucky. As her newphew I'm not on that hit list :P
Agudo Archmage 05-10-06, 06:54 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen I've been catching up on reading some of the threads. Like this new one Agudo has going. Agudo's Book Corner. Minus book part, plus Intrigues. Haha. Tsk tsk no book LOL :tongue: Yes well the Agudo book corner allows you to talk about any book you have read By using your character In other words the Market Background lets you put in game form parts of a story that you liked And :ayyyy!: I did talk about the history of the flying cities of old Fearun, plus a great Lord of the Rings silly story
Niura Ma'Hazzen 05-11-06, 12:12 PM	And you wrote a poem about me? Awww ... I'll either have to scream like a banshee and take a rusty spoon to you or put you on the lower portion of my "To Hit" list. That's a new one, Rusty spoon. Good thing I had my shots. Oh, you need to check that list again. Im on the upper portion already. Regardless, we all know its happened before. So both prove to be true. Just for that, I'm going to post that poem here, so everyone can gawk at it. Tsk tsk no book LOL Yes well the Agudo book corner allows you to talk about any book you have read By using your character In other words the Market Background lets you put in game form parts of a story that you liked And I did talk about the history of the flying cities of old Fearun, plus a great Lord of the Rings silly story Yes, I know that city! Its right on the tip of my tongue...damnation! Im at school, therefore my books are not avialable to me. I'll get back to you on that one. I'm lucky. As her newphew I'm not on that hit list Explain yourself stranger! My secret network of spys has yet to unveil any of this information.....*pokes cat* :embarrass
Seran 05-11-06, 02:45 PM	You really need to Read Ruthia's family tree better/ I'm on that list :P
Taeldrin Laesrash 05-11-06, 08:17 PM	You don't say. Well, that'll take me awhile.
ruthia 05-21-06, 01:29 AM	http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=8758154&postcount=425 Family tree update in case anyone wants to see what crazyiness has been going on.....
Agudo Archmage 05-21-06, 06:52 PM	A very well made Family Tree gives everyone insight as to the goings on of that well known family My favorite though, maybe do the fact that so many have died was this Ruthia David; Human Male, adopted, ALIVE! As if it was a big shock :D Really I am glad someone did make it Its a shame that Starbright and her kin have been wiped out :(
ruthia 05-21-06, 10:39 PM	A very well made Family Tree gives everyone insight as to the goings on of that well known family My favorite though, maybe do the fact that so many have died was this Ruthia As if it was a big shock :D Really I am glad someone did make it Its a shame that Starbright and her kin have been wiped out :( Long story on that one...But Star Bright might not be as dead as she seems either;) Thats a future story Agudo dear. As for David..Note Ormus is Alive as well. His player came back recently...with a GREAT story for their dissappearance/death! :):D Also something I may tell later on, it deserves it's credit for being one heck of a story made up on the spot....
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 05-22-06, 09:20 AM	That stuff sounds rather intersting. Perhaps i should join the chats, hmm? Would you be my guide, Ruthia?
ruthia 05-22-06, 03:23 PM	Sure Q, I'd be delighted to pull another innocent victum.....ummm...I mean help another player learn how to use the ISRP Chats. Look HERE (http://www.enworld.org/isrp/) , sign up. *Grins* I'm around most days as one char or the other. *Grins.........*
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 05-23-06, 05:08 AM	Sweeet. I'm in. In which room are can i find you? My username there is Dlaeh, so if you see me, gimme a query/PM/whatever it's called there. :=}
ruthia 05-23-06, 08:49 AM	Done and doner....... *Cackles evilly and pulls you in......*
Khaira 05-24-06, 10:05 PM	Sweeet. I'm in. In which room are can i find you? My username there is Dlaeh, so if you see me, gimme a query/PM/whatever it's called there. :=} And sometimes, if I have time, you'll also find one of my characters - usually only Evander or Khaira, though I bring others in, too - usually in the Rotunda. Our numbers grow!
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 05-25-06, 02:50 AM	Wingljay and Chanting Mistery already in and active. Others shall follow in time as well...
Khaira 06-05-06, 12:55 AM	Just to say ... do not worry, my pets. I will be saving (and have been) all the posts, so you need not worry about losing them. I will, however, say that I'm concerned of the lack of presence of my lovely little drow leader. Has anybody seen Piper? I dearly hope I haven't lost yet *another* sub-DM .... :eek: :surrender
Niura Ma'Hazzen 06-11-06, 01:13 AM	Just to say ... do not worry, my pets. I will be saving (and have been) all the posts, so you need not worry about losing them.

I dearly hope I haven't lost yet *another* sub-DM .... :eek: :surrender No, you havn't lost me yet. Aside from some inconvient computer problems, I'm fine. It first started out to be a slow connection, which escalated into complete utter, pandemonium. A self proclaimed computer lingo came over, looked at my laptop, and shook her head in disbelief at what a mess beheld her. Apparently my peice of C.P.U was just out of grasp of saving, so she wiped everything I have ever written or saved, without mention to myself. Yes, thats right folks. YEARS, not months, or days. Years of tedious work dissapearing into some etheral computer void without remorse. It all ranged from Reports, letters, short stories, character sheets, notes, poems, reference, book lists, and everything I worked on. Gone.. The worst part is, she had know idea what was on here. I had no idea she was going to clean the slate, so I didnt feel it important to mention. Essentially, I have only myself to blame. The only thing left to do...write. Although I can make myself feel better by treating my brain to more books. So I'll do that tomm. Goodnight for now. :P
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 06-11-06, 09:55 AM	Piper! Man, am i glad to see you back! And i totally feel ya about the comp, it happened to me once, causing a research with deliceously scandalous potential i was working on to be lost, among other dear things. There's no way i'll glain access to these sources again. :weep:
Faeryl 06-11-06, 04:18 PM	As of the time of this post, I have both the OOC and the IC threads for the "Hunt for Khaira's Harp" saved in numerous places. At the time of the unveiling boards - which happens to be tommorrow, June 12th - I wil repost the posts from May 31st - June 11th. In the meantime, I will be re-synchroning my own saved posts with the saved thread(s). In layman's terms what this means is that I have saved all posts from all users from the beginning of this thread until the point and time of this post. Tommorrow, when the new boards are ready for use, I will repost everything of relevance. This means two things: Everyone who has made a post before the time of my post (as I've stated already) will have their posts saved Anyone who makes a post AFTER my post will *not* have a guarantee that I will save their post. I'm going to try to get online later tonight, closer to midnight or so, in order to save any new posts I see. But I can't guarantee that I'll have either the time or the coherence to do so. In other words, there's two options: Don't post again until I repost the thread OR Post after this message, without the guarantee of having it saved. See you on the new message boards. -Khaira (Who's too lazy to change screen names)
Niura Ma'Hazzen 06-11-06, 10:45 PM	So there's a chance this might be deleted? Ha. In my earnest opinion Khaira likes to overindulge herself in things. To the effect of keeping us contempt, and herself busy. As if we could recall such events by memory? Which brings me to an excellent reflexive quote. "Well, we all have to work at SOMEthing-even the gods. So pick up that bucket, and let's have no more of your backtalk." The character Farmer Juth in Scene the Third of the play Troubles in the Cellar by Shanra Mereld of Murann first performed in the Year of the Griffon. Thanks for thinking ahead Khaira :D
Faeryl 06-12-06, 12:40 AM	I'm going to try to get online later tonight, closer to midnight or so, in order to save any new posts I see. But I can't guarantee that I'll have either the time or the coherence to do so. So, as you can no doubt see (though by the time you likely have the time to see this, this message won't be here anyway), I guaranteed posts made before mine to be saved and stated that posts MAY be saved, if I had the time to get on now, which I do, and so they will. But considering that there are no new posts of relevance to save, I do not believe I shall do so. In my earnest opinion Khaira likes to overindulge herself in things. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Perhaps that's not your best choice of words.
Niura Ma'Hazzen 06-12-06, 02:43 AM	What do you mean...not best choice of words? It was a joke, nothing more, nothing less. Where has you humor run off to? :3 By the way. EVERYTHING I SAY IS TO GREAT REVELANCE!! YOU SHOULD ONLY BE SO GRACED IN MY....well word typing thingy..... :embarrass Okay somebody must have switched my coffee to decafe *drools Gooarnighty. SEND IN TA KITTY! *snore
Khaira 06-15-06, 12:03 PM	What this means: The migration to upgraded boards is once again on hold. We can only provide an ETA on when we will proceed again once we discover the source of the suspect table. I will share this information with you once I know it. I'll be making an announcment post with a less lengthy explanation of the situation to the boards at large tomorrow. I don't if anyone had seen this or not, but I did read this, and wanted to make sure everybody else had read it as well. I haven't seen a further post by him on an exact date. So in short ... grrrr! Make sure and pass the word.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-15-06, 12:22 PM	Wow, these guys aren't having a good month, are they?
ruthia 06-15-06, 01:10 PM	gotta love WotC *rolls eyes* Sorry it's just get sick of "we're doing this...no wait it will be this day...no wait..."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 06-15-06, 01:42 PM	So what does that mean in practice? Should we continue saving posts untill the new date? Or should we throw away the backups and start saving again when the new date is set? Which is being delaied - the commencing of the process or its conclusion?
Khaira 06-15-06, 02:22 PM	What to do about this connundrum ... I don't know. At the moment, I suppose, it'd be most prudent to wait for word on specification of a start and/or finish date. This whole rigmarole of saving posts and all that is rather a hassle.
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-15-06, 09:22 PM	Khaira, I know this may sound strange, but here goes. You know that the Savael group has pretty much been reduced to me and Quathmoir. I know this is an ISRP board, and that stats don't matter, but since the two of us will inexorably come into combat with your group, and we made up levels and/or character sheets, what will this say about our levels?
Khaira 06-16-06, 12:13 AM	Everything is provided for, believe it or not. I've already rewritten this adventure once, as necessity dictated, when Savael up and left. So nice of the *insert line of curses here*. Actually there's three of you in Savael's group: Quathmoir, yourself, and Sonnica. And, in fact, you don't have to worry about being outnumbered, for reasons that I'm not going to - and can't - reveal yet. But I will say that no, you will *not* be outnumbered in the final battle. Trust your DM. ...even though the DM is the penultimate villain, the quintessential evil, and only wants to see your gleaming, shining, decapitated head resting on the plaque of "Slain PCs". Oh ... I said that out loud? ;) If you do not count Khaira (and no, do not count Khaira in the final battle), here is what it will be: Khaira's Group: Ruthia, Rocky, and Adept (or whatever the heck is name is) Savael's Group/ The Thugs/Whatever (Forgive me for not remembering names) Taeldrin, Streetcat, Sonnica Niura's Drow: Treem, Niura, Xerafeln So that's three per team. Where will the Mysterious Person go? What allegiance will he offer? When? Keep guessing, but he's another contingency. Trust me again when I say I have planned this very meticulously and it *will* be in your favor. You will not be the outnumbrered ones. And when this whole B.S. of the boards maintenance gets figured out, this thread gets rolling again, and the drow (hopefully) get moving, you will see what I mean. I will say, however, that I cannot afford to lose any more people or I am going to be so totally, irrevocably f***'ed up the behind it won't even be funny. Seriously. I will have to rewrite this adventure. Speaking of that ... Xerafeln is still lurking somewhere, yes? And Sonnica?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 06-16-06, 01:09 AM	/me murders WotC. What to do about this connundrum ... I don't know. At the moment, I suppose, it'd be most prudent to wait for word on specification of a start and/or finish date. This whole rigmarole of saving posts and all that is rather a hassle.And only i know where the word crawled out of! ;=D If you do not count Khaira (and no, do not count Khaira in the final battle), here is what it will be: Khaira's Group: Ruthia, Rocky, and Adept (or whatever the heck is name is) And Brand! Can't forget Brand! :=D Thugs: (Forgive me for not remembering names) Taeldrin, Streetcat, Sonnica Jezra, Vzerii and Stfu, please. Oh, and that was his name, not an unkind suggestion for future conversational behavior. :P Niura's Drow: Treem, Niura, Xerafeln That's the team with the most OOC casualties so far. What happened to Binkle? Not even gonna ask about th two who were supposed to be with that crew from the start, mreh.
Khaira 06-16-06, 01:34 AM	Important - though Unrelated - note: VIRUS INFORMATION! if you use Yahoo! email, beware that Yahoo-specific email and do NOT open emails with a subject of "New Graphic Site"!! /me murders WotC. Cheers the Great and Wonderful Streetcat! And only i know where the word crawled out of! ;=D Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm obssessed. I think I know it by heart now ... and Petalstorm. Congratulations, Streetcat ... you have successfully converted me! :cool: That's the team with the most OOC casualties so far. What happened to Binkle? Not even gonna ask ab]out th two who were supposed to be with that crew from the start, mreh. Grrr. Binkle. He's been on this adventure thrice. Or twice? I think the first time was when that HUGE argument broke out. Or was the first he PMing me? In either case, he dissapeared. He was on Khaira's group, and I was waiting for him ... but he had dissapeared. He came back again, begged me to join, I told him if he was going to join, he COULDN'T fall off again. He convinced Piper to let him join (I think?), and then fell off the face of the earth. Again. No more. If people don't have the time to keep up in an adventure, they really shouldn't join. Not to sound like a hardass but ... after all that's gone on with THIS one, it's how I feel. Especially after tonight's events and arguments. /Khaira crawls to a darkhole to live there forever and ever and ever and die someday.... We did have two others. Arshes and some other dude whose name I don't recall. I've sent them emails, PMs, Piper's done the same, to no avail. Their gone, dissapeared into oblivion - like Savael, like Binkle, like Myran, like the Quigley's, like Gene ...yeah those last two weren't in here, but ... yeah.
Pipers Youth 06-16-06, 02:56 AM	Grrr. Binkle. He's been on this adventure thrice. Or twice? I think the first time was when that HUGE argument broke out. Or was the first he PMing me?

That sequal of events proved true, I'm sad to add. None of our summons were answered you could put it. I wouldn't doubt if Binkle drifted in here again, and wanted back in. As for Xerafeln..I don't know his hereabouts. I'm sure he will turn up sooner or later. I've come to believe that he still drinks at the same 'live' tavern in a certain Waterdeep chat. I might check on that later. Their gone, dissapeared into oblivion - like Savael, like Binkle, like Myran, like the Quigley's, like Gene ...yeah those last two weren't in here, but ... yeah. Hey, Chris and Gorden casually drop by for a hello. But Myran, he may have slipped away somewhere else. It's been roughly a year since we've talked. If he ever returned, he would need a codpiece to vent Khairas rage. Comrades, fellowmen, MOTP has seen better days. Let's try not to forget those memories.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 06-16-06, 03:10 AM	Aye, and 'twill have better ones yet. As for Myrrr, he became busy with irl stuff. Granted, he could have said something before he dropped out, but it's not like he left for no reason; nor did he sneech-put, so to speak - you can still find him on MSN, via email, and... in some other ways. I've recently been perned into the chats, so i'll try to stalk Xera in the Rotunda too.

I couldnt find, nor remember it since the wipe. BTW while I was on the subject of Chris and Gordan...OMGWTFBBQ happened to their web browser that allows our character pics to come through? I was thinking it's down, seeing that I get a box with a big red X on it, when I try to view everyones drawn characters... Anyone else see that?......
Taeldrin Laesrash 06-16-06, 09:43 AM	Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. *cough* Sorry 'bout that. My tribute to the MoP players who slipped into oblivion.

Yeah! And my point wasn't necessarily that the afore mentioned individuals are dead and gone forever, lost into the endless oblivion that is the Void, but that they, too, have lost interest. Let's face it: MotP is in its confounded Great Depression, in a state of lethargic, nostalgic delirium. We've lost a lot of good people. Sad, but true. My faerie and I are wandering through times and stories forgotten. I am leaving again, one last time (You know where that's from, right Streetcat?;) ) Actually, I've seen Xer's player on MSN so I know she's there but ... ah well. I've a feeling she'll be returning when the time's ripe to do so. Ever the drow opportunist.
Khaira 06-16-06, 02:38 PM	Well, the announcement at the top of the main page (http://boards.wizards.com/announcement.php?f=341) re-states what I've already said: the upgrade is on hold indefinitely, and the ETA will be stated at a later date. So we're left with this connundrum: the ETA could be weeks or months, if I know anything about malfuncitoning programs. That would mean, of course, that this thread would be on hold for weeks or even months. I do not want that. So, my loyal subjects :cool: , shall we continue as before or keep on hold or something different?
Niura Ma'Hazzen 06-17-06, 04:21 AM	And you wrote a poem about me? Awww ... I'll either have to scream like a banshee and take a rusty spoon to you or put you on the lower portion of my "To Hit" list. Bardess Eyes like emerald flash in a feminime wink As weary travelers cheer Raise your cup of mead The time of celebration is near Curly waves of fiery hair await in animation And seem to come alive as the music starts The Harp is strung Sending her into a great bound atop the bar Like an agile feline descending Feet tap to a brilliant flashing smile The piper begins a soft tune A soft, lyrical voice flows from full rosy lips So natural it mingles with air The music becomes steady and energetic Mugs clash, a grand toast of Aye! The tempo of voice rises, For the entertainment has only begun. Tales of grand adventure are told Of transvering land and sea Battling menacing wyrens to claim their hoard Sailing the enchanting Sea of Stars Where greedy pirates plague the waters Times of magic, when wizards would wage war, And the land would be plunged into tormoil New kings sired, and order restored Of great loves, and tradgeys And of races banding together for a common cause A roar of voices cheer, and plead for more Whilst a wistfull wizard taps his foot by the fire, chuckling Taking another long draw from his pipe, Fillling the tavern with a fragrent apple cinnimine. Like all great ballads, they must end The music softens And with a great flourish she lept from the bar Sending her skirt in a vibrant dance of colors With a sly wink, she was gone. Off to fill her coffers, and to spread more lore Khaira Amasticia (Gemflower) I don't think it's bad enough to torment me with a rusty spoon, but I like it. I don't know if it's something I've read before here, but putting pen to paper on my break can amuse and delight me in soo many ways. Well its something fun to read in any case. Hey, and I even added Agudo into the crowd. Who could forget how many times he's sat in that plush chair by the fire in Kuli's Flute and Boot Inn, just to enjoy a smoke. Oh...and The Sword Coast would have been more geo correct, but I think the Sea of Stars sounds better. ;)
Agudo Archmage 06-17-06, 08:32 PM	Niura Ma'Hazzen A roar of voices cheer, and plead for more Whilst a wistfull wizard taps his foot by the fire, chuckling Taking another long draw from his pipe, Fillling the tavern with a fragrent apple cinnimine. Wow now Agudo is in a Poem of the Realms and History of the Realms as well You know how to make Agudo's Ego puff with pride :tiphat:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 06-18-06, 08:34 AM	http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=9415304&postcount=299 So i belive it's business as usual untill further notice. Back to posting, everyone!
ruthia 06-18-06, 10:27 AM	Niura Ma'Hazzen Wow now Agudo is in a Poem of the Realms and History of the Realms as well You know how to make Agudo's Ego puff with pride :tiphat: *sighs, grabs a pin and starts poking holes in Agudo's Ego to let some of the hot air out* After all he still has to fit within the size limits of the thread folks.....
Khaira 06-18-06, 04:02 PM	*sighs, grabs a pin and starts poking holes in Agudo's Ego to let some of the hot air out* After all he still has to fit within the size limits of the thread folks..... Well then, I guess it's a good thing that Rocky, not Agudo, is in this thread, isn't it? I must declare that I liked the poem, though I pondered why Agudo would ruin Khaira's performance by filling the room with his artificial-ingredient-altered smoke from his pipe. ;) While it didn't address some of the other sides of Khaira that I was sure would be addressed (meddler, far-and-wide traveler, meddler, chaotically dispositioned, meddler, fiery passion, meddler, tree-hugger, meddler ... you know :P ), I still liked it. No rusty spoon for you this time, Mr. Piper.
Agudo Archmage 06-18-06, 09:49 PM	Ruthia sighs, grabs a pin and starts poking holes in Agudo's Ego to let some of the hot air outAfter all he still has to fit within the size limits of the thread folks..... Ha Dragons always want to be bigest at everything :dragon: :P :dragon: Khaira must declare that I liked the poem, though I pondered why Agudo would ruin Khaira's performance by filling the room with his artificial-ingredient-altered smoke from his pipe. Why Ill have you to know that Agudo only uses all natural home grown Organic stuff....and yes its the legal kind :embarrass
Khaira 06-18-06, 11:21 PM	Oh come on now, we all know Agudo takes a special like to halflings and, especially, gnomes. You wondered why all those gnomish machines at Agudo's school are always smoking? Well, it should be quite obvious ... Agudo stores all of his extra "tobacco" and "pipes" in those machines! :cool:
Niura Ma'Hazzen 06-18-06, 11:55 PM	I'm glad everyone was pleased with the poem. Though it was my intention of Khaira to be the main focus...Agudo seems to be the root of everything. Which gives me a brilliant idea. Instead of prodding to release that hot air from his Most esteemed head, we should over inflate it. It works with most gnomish engineering, so why not to the point of Explosion!! hehe Anyways It looks like we are back in business, so I'm going to throw in some danger to grab my oh so deviant drow companions attention. *poke poke. Drow never sleep, they wait in a revere. :D
Xerafeln 06-20-06, 08:16 PM	*blink blink* Oh, I should wake up now? Right. So, now that you're back, dear....you going to be causing MORE troubles for us in the Rotunda, above and beyond what's already on tap?
Agudo Archmage 06-22-06, 08:24 PM	Khaira Oh come on now, we all know Agudo takes a special like to halflings and, especially, gnomes. O' my you must have me confused with that famous Bard Drow Elf Miguel Jackysona :dancin: Khaira You wondered why all those gnomish machines at Agudo's school are always smoking? Well, it should be quite obvious ... Agudo stores all of his extra "tobacco" and "pipes" in those machines!

Hehe O’wow that’s like kryptonite for superman ....tsk tsk...how could you? :P :turkey: :P

Khaira 06-28-06, 11:44 PM	FYI to everyone ... My computer has been being rather stupid these past couple of days. Okay, well, this entire week. I suspect I'm infected with some kind of virus or something or other like that. Of course, I also suspect I've acquired a new found "Anti Technology in a 20 foot radius" too... I'm still trying to fix everything that spontaneously broke itself, but I'm hoping that shouldn't be too long. In any case, if I'm not seen for a while ... this is why. Blasted technology!
Watchdog_of_Hades 07-08-06, 06:55 PM	Would anybody mind if I joined the campaign? If the answer is no, then sorry, but I don't have the patience to read 9 (or 18) pages just to be brought up to speed on what's happening. Could someone fill me in on what's happened lately? And... ...even though the DM is the penultimate villain, the quintessential evil, and only wants to see your gleaming, shining, decapitated head resting on the plaque of "Slain PCs".Only the penultimate villain? Who's the ultimate one? And who's the antipenultimate one? And who's the preantipenultimate one (if that's even a word; unlikely)?
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-08-06, 08:38 PM	Ha, no offense, but you're kidding, right? First, everyone here jumped onto this maybe months before it began, and the only one who didn't not only got hell, but was also an esteemed poster here. Second, even if we did say yes, this thread is built upon a lot of old posts and characters on this board. You can't help but read what came before. Third, this isn't a mystery book. Don't go trying to dissect the DM's post when your own is a mystery. Oh, and people! 6 AM tomorrow GMT; Don't post after that unless your posts will be saved.

Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 07-09-06, 06:53 AM	I'm certain there's a way of taking Cerbie here aboard without making him read 100% of the posts. However, it's neither mine, nor Taeldrin's, nor {thank Celune :P} Agudo's call; so i suggest we all sit back down and wait for Khaira to speak. And yeah, i know my own DM post is way overdue. I've had a... tough time, lessay. Hopefully i'll post this night at Do2W:tEC, and also here as Stfu.
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-09-06, 10:28 AM	I don't get it. That last sentence seems particularly apt to quote back at you, though (Pretend I'm the DM.). I don't really understand what you said. Oy vey. What I was saying wasn't really within my jurisdiction, but it's possibly tamer than what the DM could give you. Point was that I doubt we'll let just anyone hop onto the bandwagon...But I could be wrong; we are a bit strapped for players.
ruthia 07-09-06, 03:05 PM	As Khaira's offical watch dragon I can honestly say she is going to demand you know SOME of the background before posting...IF she allows you to enter at all. See we let that last player stay in and how long did he post for? But Seriously, I'll poke Khaira along when I see he online next...hopefully the comp problem is fixed a bit by now.
Watchdog_of_Hades 07-09-06, 11:23 PM	And here I was, thinking that getting into this game would be easier than getting into the Olympics... Never mind.
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 07-10-06, 08:06 AM	Look, the point is we want you in, and i figure you want to be in as well. Now, as a {potential} player, i suppose you wouldn't like the thread to fall apart; neither would we - that's why players need to have some basic concept of who their character is, where he is, who he is withm and why. This is NOT that hard, even for those among us whop suffer from ADD, dyslexia and ABS all at once {like myself}, whereas unless Checkers is added to the olimpic games, i can't see you pursuing this alternative with much success anytime soon; so drop the sarcasm and wait a day or two for the DM's word.
Khaira 07-10-06, 12:49 PM	Argh ... why must technology rebel at the most inopportune of times? We are rather sore pressed for players, so I would like to have you, Watchdog of Hades. However, as already has been stated, some degree of knowledge of what has already happened is required, as this adventure is integrally focused and centered around past events, interactions, and conflicts between the characters already present. But I can also understand that it would be no fun for you to have to read through many many pages of material just to understand what's going on. In order to really and truly understand what's going on in this adventure, you would have to read all of the pages of this adventure. And in order to understand the motives of the individual characters and their relationships as such in this adventure, you would have to read the pages concerning the Messianica War, the pages of the Last Stand (which are now faded into cyber oblivion), and not a few others. Blech ... no fun for anyone. Might I suggest a compromise: if you're still interested in joining this adventure, I will attempt to write up a synopsis. I will see what I can do to sum up the major players of this adventure, their individual motives, and some past histories/relationships of the characters. Now, by no means will this be short. It will likely be one or two pages, because there is that much information. Also a warning for you: there are three groups (and one leader of each group), which will form the final clash and battle (and the minor ones along the way). Khaira's group (the "good" people), Savael's group (now being reformulated due to his disspearance) whom are the "thugs"; and the Drow of Menzoberranyr, led by Niura Ma'Hazzen. I would strongly suggest/reccomend that you plan to be in either Savael's or Niura's groups, as that is likely where you will be most needed at this point, due to the dissolving/dissapearance of players. ...hopefully the comp problem is fixed a bit by now. Hah hah hah! Ruthia's funny! No, the computer problem is still very much active and very busy in thwarting my every move. Argh ... I'm sincerely hoping that I can get it fixed this week. I know I'm very very very much behind in everything. Though after my SCA-trip this weekend, it'll take me a while to realize while to realize how to use technology again. ;) Oh...and my PM box is emptied out now, for whatever you tried to send me, Watchdog of Hades. Sorry about that.
Agudo Archmage 07-10-06, 06:40 PM	Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai ...even for those among us whop suffer from ADD, dyslexia and ABS all at once {like myself}, Hmm ADD? Let me see..... You suffer from Advanced Dungeon & Dragoons :rimshot:
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 07-11-06, 03:02 PM	Lol! I don't suffer from it - i enjoy it! ;)
Wellby 07-11-06, 09:50 PM	Yikes! You guys were a little rough on Watchdog_of_Hades. Whatever happened to the map of the planes being a friendly place were people got together to have fun? :confused: Any way, well handled Khaira! That's very nice of you to offer to write up a synopsis for Hades if he's interested in joining. Make sure you hear from him first before starting though, it would do no good if that kindly offered synopsis was given to someone who has lost all interest now. :embarrass Now then, it makes me wonder why, rather than make all the fuss, someone else didn't offer to help Hades out? :thinks: Have fun everyone! - Wellby Edit: Incase you don't know, the new boards are up! Click here (http://community.wizards.com/showthread.php?p=9585712#post9585712) to go to this thread in the new forum.
Khaira 07-12-06, 11:49 AM	Yikes! You guys were a little rough on Watchdog_of_Hades. Whatever happened to the map of the planes being a friendly place were people got together to have fun? I'm sad to say it, but Wellby is right. I appreciate people watching over my precious little thread but I fear it may have been a little ... overzealous. We've had some good eggs that've gone bad in this thread (and in some others, too), and that is unfortunate. We've lost some good people, to real life connundrums and other such conflicts ... which is also very unfortunate. That's no reason to slam the proverbial door in a new person's face, however. While it wasn't explicitly stated, I can very easily see how Watchdog of Hades could've interpreted the responses as "Go read the history, bee-atch! We don't want you here anyway! Go read 50 pages of material and then MAYBE we'll consider letting you in ... but probably not, because your new and stupid and stuff!" If he (or, ahem ... she) never comes back to this thread, or the Map of the Planes ... well, I wouldn't necessarily blame him. Granted, I may not be one to speak...I've had my explosions, rants and raves. But as the Quigley's (and ... ahem ... various Wizo's, too... :rolleyes: ) have pointed out, this is not justified nor kind. We were all newbies at one point and time, looking for fun and enjoyment. When I was new, I was treated with empathy, a little understanding, and a little kindness ... which goes a long, long way. Watchdog of Hades could be the next Gene or Myran or Quigley if he, being a new person, is just helped along the way. Help that we all, as newbies at one point or another, have been given. At this point, I am going to offer a MOST sincere and heartfelt appology to Watchdog of Hades for the treatment he's been given, and hope against all logic that he hasn't concluded we're all xenophobic, apathetic, careless, heartless haters. I think I would feel much better, too, if others would do the same. Empathy before sarcasm. Kindness with understanding. Welcoming before the "cold shoulder".
Khaira 07-14-06, 10:42 PM	Well, y’all, I have some good news and some not-so-good news. My summer class is over, so I will have much more free time to allocate towards more fun-oriented tasks. That bad news … my computer is officially spiteful towards me with a vengeance. Some where along the lines of fixing my computer, something got deleted or broken in my hard drive. This resulted in a complete closing down of the entire computer and, as far as I can tell, a system crash. Fortunately, my parents have a computer with internet access. Unfortunately … I do not have any of my essential files on this computer nor anything that I need. So, I’ll be working hard to fix my computer now. Hopefully it is fixable. If not … well … I just hope it’s fixable since that’ll be a lot of work down the drain if it’s not. And a lot of money to get experts to fix it ... or buy a new computer. Curse the sadistic, mad gnomes in my computer!
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-15-06, 01:06 AM	Ohhh...Now I feel like a big jerk. :weep: I'm sorry for the outburst.
Wellby 07-15-06, 01:42 AM	Any one who is sincere enough to apologize is not a jerk. :) Thanks Taeldrin Laesrash. I'm sorry to hear about the computer Khaira, but I'm happy to hear you'll have more time to enjoy the summer months! Oh, but I wouldn't blame those tricky gnomes! In my experience it's always the sadistic, mad, lucky leprechauns that cause you the most grief!
Khaira 07-15-06, 09:09 PM	Any one who is sincere enough to apologize is not a jerk. Thanks Taeldrin Laesrash. Ditto! I only see an appology from Taeldrin, though. I think that's rather dissapointing. Surely not everyone wants to continue to look so rude and condescending? In my experience it's always the sadistic, mad, lucky leprechauns that cause you the most grief! Yes! Those pesky lucky leprechauns! Smoking their four leaf clover tobacco inside my computer, and making their woodland homes inside my hard drive ... no doubt that's why it's busted! Maybe it's the leprechauns and the gnomes ... after all, gnomes are notorious for making perfectly fine equipment go ka-boom and lucky leprechauns are just ... naughty.
Xerafeln 07-16-06, 02:35 PM	...doomcookies? Right. So, I'm kind of waiting to see what pans out regarding this whole forums thing (from the looks of it, they haven't been able to fix the bugs, despite trying) before I actually add anything story-wise. ...on that note, what the heck am I supposed to be doing (other than making the priestess nervous)?
Taeldrin Laesrash 07-16-06, 09:13 PM	Too true, Xerafeln. We've got no idea whether these posts are going to come to the upgraded boards. Maybe I'll just go back into hibernation. Won't be a problem since I'm moving this week, and the computer will boxed up pretty soon. Well, at least it's still functioning. Khaira, I'd suggest that instead of blaming the gnomes (Although they surround Agudo like flies on garbage), turn your attention to the drow. Their Demonweb is looking for new members, and your computer is their first target. Beware, for Lolth has terrible bandwidth... :P
Agudo Archmage 07-19-06, 06:45 PM	Taeldrin Laesrash Although they surround Agudo like flies on garbage ‘Jealousy can be so obvious :P Anyway it looks like the old MOP is back :)
Khaira 07-19-06, 08:33 PM	Khaira, I'd suggest that instead of blaming the gnomes (Although they surround Agudo like flies on garbage), turn your attention to the drow. Leprechauns! It's the leprechauns! The leprechauns and the gnomes, in a most unlikely alliance, against me! Anyway I smited (smitten? smoten? smited mightily?) the leprechauns and gnomes. The elf wins! Aha! Oh ... I better not say that, lest they perform a coup d'etat against my poor, innocent computer whilst it sleeps.
Xerafeln 07-19-06, 11:58 PM	Smote, Khaira. The correct term is "smote."
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 07-21-06, 08:30 AM	I meant no slight, in my post; but if it offended you, Watchdog, i'm sincerely sorry. I still hope you're in.
ruthia 08-30-06, 01:47 PM	Any chance we can skip the night and go straight to the morning? Since no one else wants to post what their char does that night it seems......
Khaira 08-30-06, 08:25 PM	Any chance we can skip the night and go straight to the morning? Since no one else wants to post what their char does that night it seems...... I was hoping to give Piper and other characters a chance to actually catch up and get completely settled in, but perhaps I shouldn't hold my proverbial breath any longer than is necessary. So I guess that means I'll be posting for myself and the drow again. Fun fun.
Agudo Archmage 08-31-06, 12:42 AM	Yes :w00t: I have fought my way back to the modern world. My comp would crash every sec or so :rolleyes: I was able to post at some Web places, but sadly that was on a temp comp with only an hour of Net. But now that everything is fixed (Pray) I can post more :)
Faeryl 08-31-06, 10:58 PM	It's all right, Agudo ... you really haven't missed much. I'm severely hoping Piper is only experiencing much of the same and hasn't, like other unsatisfactory members in the past, decided to say "Screw you, Khaira!"
Faeryl 09-02-06, 08:47 PM	Well, the technology problems continue to coalesce into the form of a catastrophic, all-dooming snowball-effect. Yester-eve, my canine companions were apparently possessed by the maladaptive spirits within my computer. Consequently, they leaped on my computer, knocked it down, and caused some parts within the computer to come lose (including doing damage to the hard drive ... don't ask me how). So, in the meantime, I'll be conducting internet affairs from my parents computer, when I have the chance, and on campus, when I have time. Unfortunately, as you can undoubtedly deduce, I have *all* of my information on my now-wrecked computer (not to mention all of my plans/notes for my table top adventures, my characters, my extensive websites, my stories and everything else I wanted saved). So, if I am a little delayed in things, that will be why. Cheers
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-03-06, 04:14 AM	/me huggs Khaira I feel ya! Something similar happened to me a while ago, causing the loss of many things i could not create again or get again. Although in my case no dogs were involved. BAD doggie! Agudo: Two words - POST Appleblossom!
Faeryl 09-04-06, 07:25 PM	/me huggs Khaira I feel ya! Something similar happened to me a while ago, causing the loss of many things i could not create again or get again. Although in my case no dogs were involved. BAD doggie! Bad doggie indeed! My motherboard needs to be replaced - $558, which is over 2 times what I paid for the computer initially - which definitely is not pocketchange for an impoverished college student such as I. So, at this point, I'm really looking at a new computer. Of course, that means I won't get any of my files - my websites, my multitudes of stories, game plans - the whole bit gone. I was tempted to beat my dogs to a bloody pulp, but then my voice of reason (which, by this point, is relatively non existent) convinced me otherwise, as it would serve not much of a purpose. Besides, killing things never was my forte. Well then, I'm off to write my game plans for the third time. Cheers! Khaira who, right now, is becoming very displeased with technology, its "quirks", and in mass disagreeance with the claim that computers make lives *easier*
Faeryl 09-07-06, 10:56 PM	Drow? Your still alive, right? I know Piper's been gone a long time but ... I'm still here! Khaira's group ... y'all can wake up now. Really!;-) Savael's peeps ... what's going on? Did I miss something, or are you still waiting to teleport?
Quathmoir Dlaeh Issarhai 09-08-06, 08:26 AM	It's my fault on the ex-Savael team. So many stuff on my head irl, that i keep forgetting the little people. And by little people i mean kobolds. And by kobolds i mean Stfu. I'll do my best to post today; really sorry for the huge delay!
Xerafeln 09-09-06, 09:54 PM	*yawns* I'm alive. You know I'm alive. Of course, I also started classes again. But...if I can think of something to write....yeah. I could write something if I had something to write. I can't lay all my cards on the table so quickly, though!
Faeryl 10-02-06, 02:51 PM	*yawn* Sure is quiet around here. Somebody wake me up when everybody comes back alive.
Taeldrin Laesrash 10-02-06, 06:24 PM	Ugghhhh...Braaiiinss...I dunno about alive, but I'm here. Hope everyone else is.
ruthia 10-03-06, 01:47 PM	I's alive...now anyways. Seems Khaira gave me the curse of the crashing computers..... Oh... BTW. Had the baby! :D Lil boy. Joshua. 7lbs 5oz and a whole 20 and a half inches long! :cool: See.....told yah you wouldn't miss me!
