| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-05-03, 07:46 AM | The sunlight trickles on the forest floor, making leaf patterns in the dirt. Immense redwood trees rise up all around you, their thick branches filling the sky. The ground his covered in thick foliage, save for the path you walk on, which is small and narrow. The foilage ranges from the tinyest moss to the gargantuan trunks of fallen trees. You suddenly hear a rustle in the leaves above you, and you look up, expecting a squirrel, or some other forest creature, but you see none. The canopy is still, yet you are sure you heard something up there. You continue on, perhaps a little wairer. You pass between two saplings, and as you bend the trees slightly to make room for you, you hear their tunks groan slightly. You slip througth and keep walking. As you continue down the path, you hear the trees groan again, quietly. You spin around, expecting to see someone following you, but, alas, there is noone. You continue on down the path again, extremely wary. The hour passes easily enough, and the sun rides higher in the morning sky. Soon you hear the sound of a distant horn; long, low and sweet. The singing of beautiful voices fills the air, and you know you have at last reached you destionation of the Elvish Citadel of Formeno Naúrë: The Northern Flame. You look up into the canopy and spy, it's gleaming towers, shinning in the sun light. The bright colors contrast with the forest canopy as the singing of the elves ceases. You hear the rustle in the bushes behind you and you turn to see an young elven male, blond haired and green eyed. He is dressed in perfect camoflauge, and wields a elvish longbow. He turns to you and speaks: OOC: Welcome everyone to the Elven Fortress of Fomeno Naúrë. This thread serves as the home base for the elves on the Planes board. This is an Interlace game, meaning a character can be two places at once. Here are some rules I ask of people posting here: 1. If you are one of the following people:Kevmann, Riggoras_24, spellfire agogo, please don't post here. This is not anything bad, it is simply that these three charcaters are the "baddies" and seeing as how this is a citadel of good, they would seemming not be here. 2. Feel free to say mean things on the One Land board. This is a game of which or characters are at war, so, they would most likely not be polite to each other. Remember however two things: this is just a game and the things said are not truly meant for the people that they are said to; it is for their charcaters. So, please don't take offense if someone is mean to you, for it is just a game. Also, make sure that you do not caried away and disobey the code of conduct. 3. If you want to say something in your normal voice as opposed to your Role-Playing Voice (RPV) simply type OOC: in front of whatever you are going to say. OoC mean Out Of Charcater. The elf frowns and says Welcome stranger. Deepwood, Lord of the Elves, Heir of Elmacar and keeper of the Twin Trees has been expecting you. The elf leads you to the citadel, it's colassal frame rising up before you. Along the parapet, you see the silouettes of many figures standing watch. You realize that this is what the citadel looks like in time of war. The elf leads you througth the immense outer gate and on to the corutyard. Elves hurry here and there, going about their work. He leads you past several buildings to the citadel gates themselves. Opening the massive doors, he leads you througth the main foyer and to a large tower. As you asend you notice that the masonry begins to take on a green color and you realize that this must be the thesixth tower, the green tower. The winding staircase goes on and on and your legs begin to ache, but the elf in front of you is still bright eyed and bushy tailed. The staircase ends at a large, elegant door, and the elf swings it open. The chamber is small and lit only by a few candles. In the center of the room sits a large table. It is covered with large pieces of parchment. Sitting at the at end of the table is a tall cloaked elf, his short black hair sticking up in odd places. He wears no armor, only a camoflagued jerkin with matching leggings. At his waist rest two long slender sheathed knives and across his back lays a quiver stuffed to the brim with green feather tipped arrows. Leaning against the table at his side, rests a golden longbow that glows from numerous enchanments. His face is stern and expressionless, yet attrative. He tunrs to you and says Well met, my friend. I am glad you have come, for now is the time in which the lves need draw all allies to themselves if they wish to defeat the black power of Kevmann. Come, sit besdei me and tell me your news. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-05-03, 01:06 PM | She bows low before her Leige and Lord. He radiates with the grace of all his People - even more noticeable for his candid disposition. The dark hair gleams with a the silver sheen of starlight. Silmarien shows her gratitude for Deepwood's sustaining presence. The Peredhil - the Half-Elven peoples - Celebrate their Kinship. For Silmarien is deeply moved by the assistance bestowed by the generous Elf King. That the Great Elves of Formeno Naure rode to Peredhil Halls to assist in war against Kevmann's Darkness is the first Union of Elf and Half-Elf in 10,000 years. Long sundered kindred. Kept apart by fear alone, and memory of the ills and banes from The First Wars of The Elves and The Usurper. Then, did Fair Eldacar stride out from the Great Northern Flame, in arms with thousands of Elves. Silver, white and green shields ablaze in the Dawn sun. Long Elven spears - incandescent Mithril shining brightly. Then did the Two Trees of Silver and Gold lend their Power to Light. For the Trees know their Own Will - and are both Conscious and Presient Beings - but seldom Speaking to Elf - and only in Perilous circumstance. Their silver-grey bark - smooth and strong as their lofty Bows. The one with dark green Leaves, and aglow with Silver radiance, the Second - light green leaves with Golden radiance. Silmarien's cloak is Blue and Silver - with bright silver Runes that run along the seems, hems and at the cuffs of the sleeves. The Runes aglow with gold in sunshine, and silver in moon and starshine. She bears a Staff - highly polished and metal-shod at each end but deeply runed with dweomer's purpose. Her eyes seem green, but then blue as she shifts her head. With hair of silver and Elven features shared with her kin. More Elven than Human she is. And ready to laughter, when not focussed. She studies the beautiful room at the peak of the White Tower - where shines the Green light. She says to Deepwood "My Liege - we must see to the Integrity of the Seven Spires - for only they keep Darkness at bay......how may I assist with thine work Here..." |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-06-03, 11:57 PM | ....Suddenly, there a ring of burning Azure appears - bounded by Seven incandescent Silver Runes - that reflect the Starlight in their Holy Radiance. Out of the Ring of Fire steps Deepwood - and the Two Trees of the OneLand. Rescued from Peredhil Halls - only hours before the Usurper Kevmann assaulted the Half-Elven Halls. The Trees radiate great Beauty - the melding of Gold and Silver brings Song and Solace to the Elves of the Citadel. There is a sudden rejoicing all across the Land - The Elves are Exalted - they sense the presence of the Two Trees in Unspace - the place between Words, and the source of Lore..... The Lands rejoice |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-08-03, 10:35 AM | Deepwood taps his finger on his table. Milady, I am confused by the human's song. What did it mean? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 10:45 AM | OoC: Me too! Remember, he is DM on his thread, and can do us real harm...like you are DM here. I have just posted a new thread at Faerun about the Shadow Weave. The Elven Weave is the Light side of the Shadow Weave - The Elf-Verse is of the Weave. ...at a guess - I think he is drawing on an idea I posted at Peredhil Halls - where he ran risk of turning *good* - Stone Artifact did it+Peredhil Verse....if he hung around...so.... ...Great Deepwood - it is a matter of great Import - this Shadow Magic - we must proceed with great caution.... But, here at the Elven Citadel - there is much to prepare - time to go on the offensive good Deepwood.....do you have any ideas? |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-08-03, 11:12 AM | Milady, I believe it is best to decide what the human is planning in his dark fortess. Is the stone still intact? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 11:30 AM | OoC: He's given us a clue about how to stop his scary plan - he has a tiny shard from the stone. I don't know what he will do with it - but, remember, the Stone is on my turf at Peredhil Halls, where I'm DM, and he can't get at it, without a very reasonable assault - and we can look forward to being scared by his plots....:cool: ...verily, thou speaketh Sooth OoC: i.e. Sooth=Truth ...good Deepwood...we must devise a plan to scry his Fortress with the Stone...Yes, the Stone is in-tact. It was nigh destroyed - and ward my good friend - if we lose the Stone the Law of Lore will be Broken, and all the OneLand shall shake to its very foundations....none of us can forsee beyond this knowing...let us pray it does not come to pass.... ....Now, the Elven Citadel - we must see to its protection.....The Trees are Artifact - but more can be summoned...COME, we shall Invoke the Mighty Mythal of Elvendom - make a Declaration my Liege - to All The Elves of the OneLand - at the Noon Tide we shall Invoke the Mighty Mythal of The Plural Voice of Elvendom A Mighty Spell, Greater than Any Ever Seen - we shall Pray to Corellan, to Rh'iel, to Elhonna - and we shall beget Lore into Inspiration....thence we shall consult the Great Tomes in the Elven City - and let us see what we find..... Great Elf - Decdendent of Elmacar - Custodian of the Two Trees - Let us begin this Great Labour. For all the OneLand needs thee.... |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-08-03, 11:35 AM | Milady, I know little of magics. I am but a simple ranger. You see to the magical wards and I will see to the mundane ones. Agreed? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 11:46 AM | ...Deepwood - your modesty will save us from ruin for you do not know Vanity and this is a Great Gift to all the OneLand's Heroes :bow: Great are the Rangers of the OneLand! :bow: Mundane! NEVER! :bow: Very well - however - I will see to the Infusion of New Magics - but - Deepwood, would you allow me to lead the Elves in a Meta-Concert of the Entire Elven City? Is this too much to ask. And know this - the Artifact will be yours to Wield - it will be for the Mightiest Ranger in the OneLand - for Elmacar's Descendent to Claim and only for Him to Wield - for so say the Ancient Tomes.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-09-03, 04:59 AM | ...Silmarien begins a great labour. The Peredhil Presience - sends her flashes of insights, clues, undecipherable symbols, images of Confluence - this is the Synergy of Half-Elven Lore. Her demeanour takes on an imperious urgency - the burning of her human side - with its grounding in 'quick action' and potency. But, her Elven aspects temper her manner, and disposition - ever coureous and genuine to the Elves she shares space with. It is a wonder to her - this Great Northern Flame - so many of the Fair Folk living in close harmony with Nature. Homes almost invisible in the forest - with the Elven Spires elegant and graceful, piercing the heavens. Deepwood shows Silmarien to the Great Libraries of the Elven City. Ancient, well guarded and sealed chambers - hidden from all onlookers, and from all scrying devices by Elven Magiks. Nestled in far away and inaccessible places, where the most secret and Ancient of Lore is kept out of general circulation. She spends many hours, in lamp light, pawing over ancient Tomes, being guided by her Half-Elven intuition....much is difficult to understand, or complex, or meaningless....but she finds a reference to one Evereska - an Elf from the First Wars 10,000 years ago, that reads "...we have been successful....The Shadow Weave of Melgaunt Tanthul's Shadow Weave was inhibited within the boundaries of Our Great Mythal.....the Chosen - in a daring sortie into the Dark Palace, did notice the same effects...this is curious and fills us with hope....we are not sure, but 't'would seem that the Weave and Shadow Weave do not coexist within the same metaphysical space, but rather occupying the space where the other is absent....It is possible that in areas where the Weave (or the Shadow Weave) are woven more tightly than usual the oppositional magic conduit becomes less available.....paradox......there is probably nothing else that affects the Shadow Weave in such a fashion without affecting the weave - yet The Chosen and Evereska do speak otherwise....the Elven Mages hypothesise that some hithertoo unknown Interaction Effect describes this mystery...and always, the Darkness Gathers....." Silmarien's demeanour is suddenly Gripped by Insight....she urgently rushes to other Tomes...her work continues.... |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart07-10-03, 10:37 AM | Lenoren, the Elven Bard-Prince (OOC: hes CG i know this goes against alignment but elves can do anything :D) strolls up to the castle gates. He is quite weary from his many long adventrues and travels and his seperated from his great group of friends. The elven prince comes under a disguise of slight magic for he is a followering to none but a king to none the same. Lenoren is also plagued by the fact that beacuse he is more famous for being a prince then he does for being a bard. After staying in the castle for three days and preforming grandly among the elves, telling storys about him, his friends, and stories hes heard along the way. Lenoren is much more a storeteller of peasent heros then a preformer, however he does arrange one show. On the third night he goes to the lord of the castle and informs the prince about his royal status and arrival. He also says "Beacuse I was granted the power of high elven magic as long as I have voice, I will help lead any high magic rituals you wish and i will also lead chants, songs, and holy rituals too if it suits you. However i must warn you, do not under any circumstance reveil my true name and status to anyone else. It would be dangerous for me (the bard looks at the king and smiles slyly) and you if you were to revil that information." With that the elven-prince was off again to lighten the mood of the castle, rally some of the patroling elven rangers with chants, help a few wizards and druids out with his somwhat minor magics. |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart07-10-03, 11:08 AM | OMG!!!!!!! how unbardish or roleplayerish of me i forgot to add my persons looks, well instead of rolplaying them some i dont want to have to edit my last post i will just lay them out. Hair: The bard was born with short, blond hair but often changes this around with magic. However he is currently disguised as Feadorin "the commenor-hero bard" but even changes his hair around somtimes aswell. He is so completly disguised from lenoren that his face looks completly differant. Eyes: Natrually green but often changes them around with his hair. Has had ever color of eyes for "drizzt" purple to a dwarvin silver color. Face: The only change to his face he made was the change from Lenoren to Feadorin. After everyone knows him as feadorin (Besides the king) he never changes his face around beacuse he likes to be reconized: Height: 5'2 Also note that "Feadorin" has fey-blood and celestial-blood in him too. He dosent show his celestial blood much but he is no doubt fey blooded. The only way he shows his fey blood is through his slightly surprising honor and need to help others. "Feadorin" is a very passonit elf who loves adventrue, good songs and tales, and learning forbidden and secret rituals and hidden locations/passages. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 11:10 AM | [I]....it has been many hours since Silmarien has rested. In her great labour of research, Silmarien has discovered something else - that once there was no Shadow Weave. In the Time Before - The Weave cast no Shadow..... She gasps when she finds this Lore, and looks up and around the Great Library - filled with scrolls, Tomes and myriad bookshelves..... Then, another treasure .... the Ancient Elven mages hypothesised that..."A Mythal cast in the Shadow Weave, and thence Destroyed, may create a zone of Dead Magic....." At this, she sighs, and determines to rest. She makes her way to the Airs of of the forest again. It is dark, and the Starlight shines brightly on the Elven City, as the leaves of the forest rustle in the breeze. Silmarien eats with Deepwood and his Kin - when news comes to her, by way of a Prince. A strange Bard, with Light in his Eyes sings for the Table. Silmarien startles when she sees Him - for her Half-Elven prescience is triggered by seeing the bard. "Who is this Elf?" she gestures to Deepwood...at the uttering of the question....the Bard looks straight at Silmarien.... She determines to brazenly stride over to this player....Half-Elven sensibility intruding on propriety "Greetings Great Elf :bow: Well Met - elen sila lumenn omentielvo" She looks straight at you - her eyes flare momentarily with blue Dweomer - but they are smiling eyes....."come, wouldst thou join us for Supper?" |
| DanielTheHalfling07-10-03, 11:59 AM | (Ooc: Sorry Deepwood, but someone's gotta use your smilies, and that someone is me) An elf with blond, long hair, tied on a ponytail, with a fairly elven face, (but not above elven standards);(http://www.geocities.com/daiel_g_13/deahappy.txt) knocks the door and cries "I am Sairolaop, Twelvth Craetor of the Elven halls in Elvendom! I demand passage" |
| DanielTheHalfling07-10-03, 12:03 PM | The elf is 1.69 meters tall, he wears a Studded leather armor that glows, has a Buckler on his left hand, a Mighty longbow that glows feebly on his back, and a longsword ond its holster. He also carries a spellbook and some scrolls, that he reads while waiting. |

| zollex507-10-03, 09:22 PM | "I see that you have learned some," Zollex says as he walks in. "I will assist you in any ways nessasary." He bows to Deepwood. Zollex picks up a tome and begins skimming it for key words. |

Silmarien suddenly burst into a Peredhil Spell Song....for Silmarien is Verse-Master of the Great Peredhil Elf-Song. Five Aspect Five Kings Three Times Three Rings of Power Elven Lore Let Us Find Three Then, when she hears this Miracle of Awakening Trees - she is suddenly stirred deeply to humility....and Wonder - for these Powers of Nature are outside her Knowings....she smiles radiantly right at you - eyes also filled with gentle curiosity...... LEAD Frostbite! Let us Away - what Dweomer do you need me to Enact to Begin Our Great Finding of the Five (or Three of Five) Rings......Silmarien's Intuition warns her Time is Of the Essence....the OneLand is in Great Danger....but FIRST....let us look up the Tomes about Athorins Ring!!!!!....is this thing more than 10,000 years old - a crucial question at the OneLand, where the First Great Wars of the Elves and the Dark Lord were fought, ere the Dark Lord was expelled through the Doors of Night.... OoC: 1. That's Hard-coded mythology at OneLand about number of years - devised by several characters at earlier juncture at Peredhil Halls..... 2. We are standing at point of the Return of the Darklord through the Doors of Night.... 3. Deepwood has near full DM control of the Defences of the Elven City, and makes rulings about the 'degree of penetration' by enemies of This Thread. 4. And, Frostbite - Sil has DM functions at OneLand...I DM at Peredhil Halls thread, and only moderate outcomes at battles...(See Dark Citadel Thread, where battle rages...in the OneLand you can be in ManyPlacesAtOnce....). But, ALL PLAYERS HAVE EXECUTIVE POWER TO ADD TO THE MYTHOLOGY. So, guide Sil my friend......she Follows Your Lead on the Lore of the Five Rings..... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-12-03, 11:53 PM | First to The Zollex ...ZOLLEX ZOLLEX - we need thee - come with us to the Great Elven Library, more ancient than 10,000 years!!!! Thence, we set out on a Great Quest......come my good friend The Zollex.. OoC: Now,this next bit is "Proxy-Deepwood" Deepwood has given Sil "Deepwood's Voice" for only Two Days - He is (really) off somewhere in the Real World, and will let us know when he returns.....until then "Proxy-Deepwood IS Deepwood to all extents and purposes... Originally posted by Kevmann The air ripples about the world, creating a reverberating voice that can be heard by all! "Listen, those that live in the One Land! I am Kevmann, leader of the human civilization which now thrives here! I wish for the prosperity of the humans, and for all of the races! We humans wish to co-excist with the elves, the dwarves, the orcs, and the other races! Why would we wish any harm upon you? We want peace, we want every race to have a place in this world, were they can strive un-hendered! Come now, an off-shoot of the elves is intent on destroying us, I call upon all to see these people for who they truly are, warmongers. I have tried peace with them, and it has failed, so ban with me, people of the One Land, ban with me to suppress these people, and build a greater world for us all! OoC: Proxy Deepwood ...hears this Abomination - OoC: for Kevmann has Fused two magiks from the schools of Transformation (Dark Weave of Dark Mythal) with Evocation (a sending)....the Uber-Magik Fusion Interaction (UMFI) permits his voice to ripple throughout the Entire Weave of the OneLand for sending us Messages.... ...arrive suddenly through the Weave - it is experienceds as Vile Abomination to the Elves, a distortion in the Weave of Light...for Kevmann has subverted a Shard of the Great Stone at Peredhil Halls.....and now his very form is Infused into the Dark Shadow Weave. The Shadow Weave casts no visible shadow, but is projection into the Material World, in Unspace between Words.... Kevmann is Now Elf-Bane - He Commands the Ring of The Shard, and this Ring is Fell Light to Elves of the Weave..... |
| zollex507-13-03, 12:12 AM | OOC: I've offered Kevmann peace. I made sure that the negotiations would be in a totally nuetral place. I've even balanced it so that the humans won't be outnumbered too badly. We will have two days until the negotiations (to wait for Deepwood) to spend in the library. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 12:47 AM | [I]...Zollex - if we Placate the Dark Lord - he will Deceive us in the end...nurse his strength, and then spew forth all the Legions of Darkness across the OneLand.. However, my dear companion - you of course have Free Will in the OneLand - and I must respect the choices of Your Alignment.... But - WARD - I command the Peredhil in MetaConcert and *WILL* engage battle outside the Dark Citadel - ONLY - with the Undead, Devils, Demons, and Evil Humans.... The rest - may have succour in Peredhil Halls...or ANYWHERE of their choosing in the OneLand.... I, my friend, CANNOT and WILL NOT parly with the VOICE OF ABOMINATION in the Elf-Verse - the Shadow Weave * IS ELF-BANE * ALSO TO YOU - even though you are CN OoC: DM-Voice - You as Peredhil, with Elf-Blood, also SUFFER the feelings of Elf-Bane-ness as Kev described it on his Elf-Bane ring post... You actually feel Ill when you are around his Ring.... And...I don't smite my friends - even if you choose stuff that sil thinks is all wierded out... :rofl: |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-23-03, 10:17 PM | There is an explosion of ruin in the Forest around the Formeno Naure. The earth groans in despair - for the sound of Baritone Chanting - vile and abominable breaks the peace of the forest. There is a rending sound and from the Earth, erupts black Shadow - in corruscation of Abomination. It destroys the earth - leaving death and destruction in its wake. And out of this mass of ruin - legions of Drow. They form rank after rank of well-clad soldiers - men and women alike. The weare armour, black as night, that glows unearthly in the night sky, and their helms, carved with dark runes. Immediately, they begin chanting - a Verse of Abomination. It is a Dark Mythal. Rending Now, City Ruin Break the Gates, Fell the Towers Eat the Stone, wreck the Halls Destroy the City - Life and All You hear screams from within the city, as the Resident Elves recognise their danger. |
| Gellion08-24-03, 09:23 PM | Out of the mist come creatures from thr Far Realms. They engage Dark Elven Shadow Masters forces. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-25-03, 09:04 AM | ...Vercul's first cousin - Zergal - also bears a Blackstaff - ugly in its rune-carvings. He bars his teeth - as Gellion's forces begin to appear... Zergal intonates once - a sharp, ugly baritone - and there are suddenly seven fold images of each Drow - and the Drow suddenly float into the airs. Zergal begins to laugh - the jeering sound of taunt and cruelty - pleasure at others' suffering. It is the laughter of Abomination - craven - and borne of the manifold cruelties bestowed upon Drow children from birth. For Drow are raised in horror and brutality - so that those who survive to adulthood - are themselves callous and cruel. To Rend the Weave - and Break the Gate We come to Wreck and make you hate You cannot stop - Shar Hears our Voice The Weave will break Before your gates.... The Second Stanza of Abomination.... |
| Gellion08-26-03, 09:41 PM | Even more creatures from the Far Realms come out of the mists, overunning Verculs forces. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-27-03, 10:57 AM | Zergal and the Drow are high in the airs and their forms are manifold and interweaving into each other. When the tendrils of Gellion's strange creatures reach out towards the Dark Elves - they pass through bodily form - without touching flesh. Zergal laughs - a cruel shaming laughter - the jibing of taunt and of many bullies surround one who is helpless. They barr their teeth - He stares at Gellion (or his creatures) You stupid naive fool! you will not harm us for you cannot find us! Your vanity is vaster than even the Drows' - in your gross self-indulgence, you have underestimated us. The City is Ours The Weave it Screams Mystra Gift Undone The Elves shall Fail Their Homes all Gone In Despair you Fall You Cannot Halt We come to Take We come to Break In Evil come and see your form See how you End see how you Go In Time not Long You Will Be Ours In Time So Soon The City Broken... The second, third and fourth Stanzas of The Verse of Abmonination. Clouds gather in the sky above the Great Formeno Naure - and within the Walls, the Elves stop their ears. But they can all hear the Verse - and it opens wounds of despair within their souls. There is the sound of Thunder and airs begin to blow and howl. Shadowy Eyes appear in the Airs, and there is a chilling that seeps into the core of the soul. The animals howl, the Earth rumbles - you look to the Seven Spires of the Citadel - and you descry a wavering of Dweomer. The Mighty Mythal of the Formeno Naure - nigh ten thousand years old is threatened.... |
| zollex508-28-03, 09:50 PM | OOC: NO! I had this typed up already! Stupid computer! RP: Zollex and his allies apear near Gellion's forces. "You will fail. That's all I have to say." Zollex casts a Coldball (Fireball with the element changed) directly at Dark Elven Shadow Master. OOC: Coldball damage. (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Zollex#57178) The Refex save for half would be 26. EDIT: Fixed save DC from 16 because I forgot to add the base 10. :rolleyes: |
| Demon Lightfoot08-29-03, 05:00 AM | Q: We're outside the fusion effect area, aren't we? Or can we tell whether or not we are? Lightfoot glares through narrowed eyes. A wise person might think that he would do good to show his heels at this sight. "There shall be an ending, Dark Ones." Burn in liquid fire Doom'd to feel eternal pain In liquid fire burn Lightfoot follows suit with an acid-substituted fireball, right at the Drow warleader. I think I have this thing figured out: My Roll. (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Lightfoot#57203) Save DC = 21 Crap for damage, though: 38 (19 with a successful Ref save...I think). |

| zollex508-30-03, 10:48 PM | OOC: What? Images? Blink? I can get rid of the effects, but that'd be my Purge Magic for, what was it? a week, I think. |
| Demon Lightfoot08-31-03, 01:37 PM | I'm thinkin' that it's a straight-up illusion, merely to distract us or worse, a project image. If the latter, then merely breaking the sod's line-of-sight will end it (such as with a darkness spell). I'm still researching, though. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-31-03, 08:56 PM | ....Ai! The Effects coming from them are Real - And - they cast - but ....... OoC: Strong hint: what "skill" do you use to work out what's going on.... ......before Zergal Utters the next Verse of Abmonation.... |

It shall be filled with all manner of our Culture - and none shall withstand us..... You will fail..... |
| Demon Lightfoot09-01-03, 07:01 PM | OK, I have a Spellcraft skill of +25 (23 ranks and a +2 from Skill Focus) and 23 ranks of Knowledge: Arcana. Is that what you wanted to know, Sil? |

Is that what you wanted to know, Sil? OoC WELL SPOTTED - eXactly (or close-enough - there is another option) ! Now - that ranking for level 40 is a bit low - I'm gunna give you 25% chance of success - and you may direct Silmarien to check this out for you - she's just gone very blond on you ....Demon....what should I do....? I don't have dice-roller URL here - so I'm putting four bits of paper into a cup, and choosing 1. A 1 will give you success. - Demon says "Ai! I cannot discern the Dweomer - " I assume you'd want Silmarien to do the same......she says "Ai! Demon!!! They are not here - the Drow are Projecting Their Image - their location is elsewhere....." Zollex and Deepwood and Gellion may add something...before.....the....Drow..... :devil: ..... :) |
| Gellion09-01-03, 11:11 PM | Gellion casts a powerful Abjuration spell on his allies, to protect them from Zergals magic. |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-04-03, 08:23 PM | A quick post - I am formulating. And have a back log of tasks (at WotC and in Life). I'm still here. silmarien |
| zollex509-04-03, 09:49 PM | OOC: Okay. Great. Images. And they can attack us, but not vice versa. Okay...so, if I'm not mistaken, these images have a duration attached to them. Correct? |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher09-04-03, 09:53 PM | OoC: I have a plan. Sil, do youthink it will be alright if I post the defenses of the citadel here? I know it is sort of open to any that wish to attack us afterward, but It would be faster that way. |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-04-03, 10:25 PM | Zollex my friend - that's for you to determine. With Fusions - range, duration may vary from stock standard - depending on how you fuse spells (which means that you can come at the DM with variations that I would respect - create!!!) And don't forget that they can re-cast the spell. Hint: with the spell "project image" there really is a "real" source. How would you locate it? Deepwood - the City's Defences - up to you. If you don't want me to know them - that is also up to you - the Drow will have to "try different things out". Like "spellcraft checks" and so on. But - that's only if you're up to regular postings and DM-ing the thread....ok - So if you don't want to DM the Citadel's defences - that's cool too - and so, you will need to post the defences in your next post. BTW - hope you've been well - read the way Deepwood 'threw off the possession' at Pnatemul - enjoy it. And, I'm gunna post a "story" soon about what it means that you are a Wielder of Silverfire (Faerunian thingy). How is your schedule Deepwood, in terms of availability, game-play, and posting. Same question for Zollex, and also for Demon Lightfoot .... Just so I can get a broad brush idea of how quickly to move the campaign forward. Silmarien says ....ever my strength to the Allies' strength - and my Will to our cause... Zergal says ..you stupid fools - the Drow will feast on Elf flesh ere 7 sunsets from now....so speaks the Prophesy of Aziz.... Silmarien then says Ai! But, the Prophesy has Dual Meaning - it can be cast either way Zergal - your arrogance will Undo you.... ;) Enjoy everyone. Deepwood - it's great to see you back - Demon - thank you for your persistence :bow: Zollex - "enter into Conversation with The Zollex at GREAT personal risk" :) |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher09-04-03, 10:43 PM | OOC: What I'm thinking is that their will be three walls. The first wall is the main wall, the second is the trap wal and the third is the last ditch wall. Beyond the last ditch wall is the actual citadel of Formeo Narue. The last ditch wall is the strongest, then the outer wall, followed by the trap wall. The trap wall is there to, well, trap enemies inside. If the break the gates of the outer wall, they still have to break down the gate to the trap wall. Archers from the trap wall, the outer wall and the keep can fire at soldiers inside the trap wall. Now for my favorite part. There are no buildings or dwellings on the between the trap wall and the outer wall. Most elves stay away from that place for an ever active anti-magic field is inpalce there. Therefore, no spells can be cast, making enemy wizards nothing but unarmored commoners. Archers could easily pick them off, and thus elminating threat from magical attack. Of course, taht also means that no elven wizards or any other spellcasters can operate in there, but that is a risk Deepwood is willing to make. The plan is to elminate as many of the drow warriors as we can before the break the outer wall. taht way, their will be fewer actual resistance to our batterings. If the outer wall falls, we simply stand high up on the walls and pick of any remaining drow with arrows. That's my strategy. |
| Gellion09-04-03, 10:57 PM | Remember, you also have my minions from the Far Realms still too.:) |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-05-03, 01:30 AM | Deepwood: :cool: - last chance kebab - am I reading this in that you *don't* want to DM the Inner Defences??? And - would you Demon Lightfoot like to drive here - if Deepwood won't? - Also - about how often do you guys want to post to the thread? Do you want fast pace or slow-steady pace to DM-ing? (If I DM - it matters to me - in that I need to know what your needs are - if you see where I'm going. Some like lots, some like less. Some feel pressured by rapid-fire posts, some feel estranged by slow posts). So, I need to understand you gaming needs (if I'm DM-ing here that is). Cheers sil |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher09-05-03, 08:00 AM | OOC: No, I'll do it. I was just explaining the plan to the allies. Sure, I'll DM the defenses, though, I am still Master of the Wild and Sword and Fistless, so Deepwood won't be finished for a while. I post here occasionality in the morning (Central USA time) at like 6:30, but then I have school until about 4:00 PM, so I usually post thn as well. Then I eat and do homework, coming back at aroud 7:00 and staying untill 9:00. That's my schedule. |

OoC: Thank you Deepwood - I will Post the Silverfire stuff tomorrow - it's late here and I'm very tired. Just a quick post for now. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher09-05-03, 05:46 PM | Deepwood Stands high upon the battlements of the outer wall of his citadel, all the armies of elves safe within it's thick walls. Ha! I am nout you kin, evil spawn of the Abyss. You are not a but a black and twisted race who covers from the the sun like worms in you holes. OOC: The sun! That's it! You shall not prevail over us, foul beast of the Underdark! OOC: Sil, are the drow attacking by night or day? |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-05-03, 11:52 PM | Silmarien - ...Egotistical fool - the Prophetic Verse is not your friend. Your destructive power is a substitute for unrequitted love. You have abandoned life and been abandoned by life. All you have left is your wish to destroy what you once were. Instead of making yourself beautiful in the image of Life - you would cut down that which you envy in others. You are disgusting. We will disrupt your Verse of Abomination |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher09-06-03, 12:08 AM | Deepwood draws up his enchanted bow. The elven archers respond in kin. He puts an arrow to his bow,as do his elves. NDENGINA SEN OTHARIM! Deepwood's voice rings over the forests. The elven arrows streak forth, claimng drow soldiers and fighters. OoC: Deepwood is commading his elves to kill all the warriors first.Sil, is it day or night currently? |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-06-03, 12:14 AM | En-route to the Formeno Naúrë - Silmarien brought some Prophesy and Lore to her comprades: Deepwood's Demon's and Zollex's attention..... .....Firstly - Deepwood and Elmacar's Heir - thou art Wielder of Silverfire. The Great Life of the Weave - The Weave itself - not the "magic of the weave" or "raw magic that is channeled through the Weave" but even more Radiant and Amazing - Silverfire is a Paradox - it is of the Weave and also not of the Weave all at once. Silverfire is magic form and action - yet also not exactly magic. You are High King of the Elves, and all those of your Line bear this burden of Paradox. Mystra grants the Heirs of Elmacar Silverfire. Without Silverfire - there is no Healing for Damaged Weave. Silverfire is the Native Energy of the Universe - and unformed, this substance is instant death to mortal flesh. Only the Heirs of Elmacar - and mayhap a Peredhil - one of Elven Spirit may wield this substance. You have seen it in my Tears as they strike the Peredhil Verse - but I cannot control this manifestation of Silverfire - for it is wild and comes only when I am overcome with Great Grief - and only in mine tears. But, for You Deepwood - your Journey with Silverfire may be very different. If you Fall - the Elves will Fall into Abomination. The Drow hate you and will try to subvert you. Do you hear Zergal's Voice - the Dark Elves - they summon Magic of the Shadow Weave. They are trying to Rend the Weave - as we created a Rent at Pnatemul. Do you not hear Mystra Screaming - even now, they are only three Stanzas in and Mystra screams in pain - look - the Clouds Gather, the Earth Shakes, the Seven Elven Towers Waver... If they succeed - the Seven Towers will Wink Out - and the Drow will invade the Inner Sanctums of the City and sack its treasures, and corrupt the Two Trees. But - Deepwood - you must Cross Over - or Nigh Cross Over into Corellan's Spirit World before you can use Silverfire......and I do not know how, when or under what circumstances this is to be.... OoC: that's the background Lore for you. Good Luck Deepwood - |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master09-06-03, 12:31 AM | OoC: Note on Spell effects - if the Weave is ruined in an area - *all spell like effects* including Anti-Magic Field (also a spell-effect) - will fail.... ...Zergal sees Silmarien's Mental Voice - and *he vomits* Out of his mouth - gallons of black ichor - as he retches. Her voice is disgust to him. But, he continues to Incant....you see his barred teeth when the vomiting stops. He looks at Deepwood - and says "you will be Drow - ere seven days are over - or so much like Drow that you will forget yourself. For we wield Darkfire - the mirror image opposite of Silverfire - and we shall subvert you and your lore. You will laugh as you stomp on dead elven bones.....and there will be nothing left of this city....catch us if you can - stupid Elf - stupid Demon, stupid Zollex, and you whor_e Silmarien. We HATE you all. The Weave is Screams It Hears our Power Mystra cannot Withstand The Artifact's Glower We Wield the Darkfire Anathema to Weave We Will Destroy You We Will Consume You The Elves shall Boil Their Bones shall Shatter Their minds Devoured Their Spirits Ours In Death no Solace For Here you Find Us In Darkness Binding Our Will Commanding.... The winds begin to grow faster - and clouds swirl - you look up into the heaves to see two red evil eyes staring down at your from the Clouds. They are Shar's Eyes - Mistress of the Shadow Weave - she watches in relish - as the Elven Citadel - the Capitol of Elvendom - its seven elegant towers - piercing the clouds - she laughs as she sees the Elven Magics threatened..... |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master09-06-03, 12:44 AM | OoC: *hands Deepwood DM-s screens* *says - now - guide and rule us* *back-log lore posts finished* :bow: Zergal - vomits again - ;) |
| Gellion09-06-03, 01:26 AM | Gellion orders his minions to attack the Drow. He watches as the two forceses collide into battle. |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-06-03, 01:56 AM | you should read up-stream....Zergal isn't in the location where you think he is. They are using "project image" - we spellcraft checked. Try sumtin' and then Deepwood must make a ruling. sil |

| Demon Lightfoot09-06-03, 11:59 PM | Would a spellcraft check be needed to describe how the spell functions and how it could be ended, or has what we have done covered that already? Just wondering. |

Just wondering. I just used the spell today - Sil had to integrate herself into a Mythal in our campaign here in Melbourne. Ain't DM at Formeno Naure - Deepwood needs to answer this..... :) Silmarien |

| Silmarien Aldalome09-13-03, 11:45 PM | OoC: Deepwood - the DM needs to provoke us - you're in control here in regards to the covert aspects of the mythology. LEAD US A Song reverberates in the aether - The Coloured Night In This Place Here The Stars so Bright You Need not Fear It's In This Space Between the Fire Your Form So Bright Your Living Cheer Silmarien's cloaked form materialises out of Azure incandescence. The cloak is Azure and Silver - it has ornate Elven runes of ancient Mode embroidered on the hems of and sleeve extremities. The Runes are Silver and Gold and Interlaced with Green Leaf. In her hand, she bears a Rune-Staff - it is metal shod at each end, and highly polished. She strikes the staff heel on the ground - and her eyes suddenly ignite into the Blue of the High Elven Magic. The Runes on Cloak and Staff burn in incandescence. She throws her hood back and you see that she is Half-Elven. *she stares at you* *a piercing radiance penetrates to your heart - you hear Song within - sustaining and warm. "It is Necessity that drives the Communion of Folk. I come with Magic to Revitalise your Grief and Helplessness. For the greatest Enemy is the Despairing Heart - the Enemy Within. Look up now! Take stock and look around you. Your sun shines brightly every day and asks not for anything in return. And so it must be with us - here - else Shame will overrun your heart, and your Quest shall fail. Therefore - find your Faith in this space *NOW*" *Strikes Staff Heel on Ground* *High Elven Magic Radiates through the Weave of Life - all throughout Space* See Grace in All Things... What do you ask of us - I am Here - as are we all. |
| The Gray09-16-03, 10:29 PM | A small tree sprouts and grows next to Silmarien. It grows withh supernatural speed into a small tree, then grows larger until twice the size of a goodly gnoll, standing with solemn strength next to the elf-maid. An acorn falls from above, landing at the ground, which splits, and a being grows from the seed, becoming a six-foot gray-cloaked humanoid, trailing neutral fog from Its glowing eyes and black crevice of a mouth. The Middleman has come to Formeno Naure. Greetings Silmarien, Shadowmaster. The joyless seeds of war have reached the elven fortress, yes? I return to observe, without the Beast again, though should it become necassary He shall come. May the conflict be resolved soon, in keeping with the SCriptures. OOC: Hi, I'm back from a hiatus. Didn't read much, but the Being of Light and Dark isn't one to act, is he? But, here we go. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master09-17-03, 09:09 AM | A portal opens in your mind's eye - where the Shadow Weave coexists alongside the Weave. The Dark Elven Verse Masters Commune with the Shadow Weave - at the Formeno Naure - and their PluriPotent Voice reverberates through the Shadow Weave - and you can hear the distortion of Sound within the sub-vocal space of your mind. They threaten your psychic defences - for their Verse is not just Annihilation hurled at the Elves who they hate, but far worse because their Verse is an assault on your identity. They speak to your inner Paradox - where your world is split in two - into "this" and "that". The exact point where you are undecided about all things. They do not speak to the Outward Face of your psyche, or to the places where you are confident, but to the Hidden Face - where torture, abandonment, pain and shame lie locked in dark boxes far away from light. In this space - where are jealousy, spite, hate, silent resentment. Shar's face appears before you - and she is smiling in greedy malice. She holds the Karstone in her hand - and she Channels its Whole Magic into the Dark-Elven Verse - strengthening the Drow's Song All Throughout Realmspace - all throughout the One Land - Abomination - the Dark Mythal Strengthens, and that you see it Here - reveals the extent of the Amplification. The Dark Elven Verse Master's Verse is Nigh Complete The Elves will Fail their Halls shall Fall See Stone Unravel and Maiden wail The Earth to Rend and Will to Break See you are Mine, your Will undone No Hope for Life that you can Bring For Shar and We are Here to Sing That Elves' time has come and Hell On Earth Is Here to Stay, Our Verse will First This Day is Ours, the Elves shall Fall See Towers Break, and Pride defiled Despite is Yours, your Hate so Great Your Wish to End all that You Make Makes us Endure, and Aids our Gait |
| Demon Lightfoot09-24-03, 09:29 PM | Hell-ooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Coooooo-eeeeeee!!!!! Is there anybody out there? |
| Silmarien Aldalome09-24-03, 10:00 PM | :rofl: YES! Greetings Demon Lightfoot - there is a motivation-lull it would seem....... The Others - are hiding, avoiding, detached or waiting. *so posters* *who's all like "i'm not gunna post, what's the use* *who's all like "i'm waiting for someone else to post* *who's all like "i don't want to be the last poster - how embarrassing* WHERE'S OUR DM???????????????????????????????? ...Silmarien sets her familiar into the Airs - and in alian Avian sounds, she converses with the bird. The bird stares at Silmarien - a great intelligence in its eyes, and a purpose not known to any but Silmarien and the bird. "Fly Now!" Silmarien propounds in PluriPotency - "into the Airs - Study this place - your Eyes to My Eyes my dear Friend" Up into the Airs travels the bird. Silmarien eyes take on the aspect of one "not here" as she studies the Lands through the bird's eye. Up Up - a league into the sky - amidst the gathering clouds - where great winds threaten the bird's balance. There are lightnings - that strike the Formeno Narue - as the Verse of Abomination gathers Force. Down below - the great City of the Formeno Naure - it's Seven White Towers - pierce the Cloud layer - and each tower - on of the Seven Colours of the rainbow. But their Light is Threatened. For 10,000 years, the Elven High Magic radiated from the towers - and now - its life is threatened. The citadel is a Wonder of Elvendom - graceful streets, angular buildings, Ithildin runes. You can see vast parklands and woods - and homes nestled perfectly amongst nature. Curving streets, ancient groves of trees, Elven Radiance everywhere. A vast City - several leagues in diameter - But, within the scarcely fortified city - the Elves Scream as they block their ears. The Verse of Abomination assaults their Self-hood and Evil calls to them to Despair. Silmarien strikes her Staff Heel on the Ground and a surge of Azure envelops here and a pulse is sent skyward - towards Swiftflight. The Bird accepts the Dweomer - it scans......for the Drow - with Greater Scrying. Silmarien's eyes flare into blue Dweomer and her Voice Sounds with the Many-in-All - of Many Half-Elves. She sounds unearthly - but melodic. She stares at you It is The Piercing "Why do you deny your Voice - your beauty is beyond all knowing of convention. Deep within you lies trapped your Higher Essence. Can you not hear its Sound - do you know Understand your Purpose. For you are a Living Being - and far more than you know. Now awake and radiant with Magical Lore - then Slumbering and hiding - locking your beauty far away from Light and Life. Amazing being that you are - why do you forget this? But, hearken now - Elvendom is yours while you are Here. Do you love the Elves? You have arrived here because this was meant to transpire. You Presence is Here - and your World - the Elves - is threatened." She strikes her staff onto the ground again - and erupts into Song An Elf thou Art The Eldar's Gait We see your Eyes They are so Bright Lamenting Now - of Days Long Gone The Song of Life - it is so Strong In Elvendom - The Mithril Star Look Hither Now - Your Shining Sword Beyond the Seas of Mortal Shores Unto the West of Foam on Doors Where sounds the gull of Elfinesse Immortal Lands Immortal Shores There you shall find the ones you lost There walk the Elves of Vanished Earth They stand before you now in Seeing They see your Being are with you Singing Elven Eyes so Bright - the Sea Grey Stars So piercing and Light - Eternal Shining Formeno Naure Formeno Naure The Elves are Calling Your Home among them and Song of Longing |
| Demon Lightfoot09-26-03, 05:48 AM | Lightfoot speaks: "You can still walk away from all this. You don't have to wallow in the sty that the dark goddess has provided for you. Think on that, before you commit yourselves irrevocably to this self-destructive course that you follow." I try to discern where the yobboes actually are; if need be, I have a crystal ball that I can summon forth and consult. |

To Deepwood - come out come out wherever you are and meet the young lady - who fell from a.... woops, wrong movie. Deepwood - you are needed here to keep us enlivened - your responsibility is to hit us with your mythology. I know you have it in you - your opening post and stuff at once upon a time tells us so. So - LEAD US FORWARD - or Dark Elven Shadow Master will have HIS WAY AND DESTROY THE ELVES! Cheers Dude Silmarien |

| DeepwoodElvenArcher01-15-04, 12:21 AM | A green shade slides from the forest. A tall elf comes forth, garbed in magical leather armor that is painted with leaf designs. He bears a mighty longbow, which bears many enchantments. A pair of shortswords, both glowing very faint green hang at his sides. A deep green cloak hides his back from view. He face his soft and beautiful, with strange tatoos covering his face. His hair is long and amber, and he smiles had you. "Nay, my friend Demon, we did not win. Many battles lie before us and this one not the least. Come, this is the hour in which we fight together!" |
| Silmarien Aldalome01-19-04, 03:26 AM | OoC: So - is our DM back - ? *forestalls celebrations* *eyes look at you inquiringly* Silmarien sees Demon Lightfoot and Deepwood. She studies their faces for a moment. "Demon Lightfoot" Silmarien says - "t'would seem our Captain returns to lead us. What say you my friend? How do you read this omen?" |
