sculyblast 05-14-07, 02:08 PM	Good Night All, My Name Is Quarius Citaquaira, I once was Zenith Archmage of Shadow Magic In the famous Council of Archmages; however Things Changes, The Assembly of Archmages Decided that The Power within the Council of Archmages should no longer be focussed on Five Mages who form the Zenith Archmage, and that Ever Mage should have an Equal Vote. For Reasons like Stability, New Generation idiology And Tiredness My Fellow Zenith Archmages Allow this, Causing a Change in the power balance within the Council of Archmages, Inflicting the greater part of the Attending Archmages with Great Indifference for the Good of the Council. We had a few Powershift, a take over, and the beheading of a Dictator Mage, And bit by bit Nearly all the Attending Mages left, Including me. Nowadays the Halls that Belong to the full assembly of Archmages, Are possed by four inhabiting mages, not particular Great in Magic or Lore. I as Former Zenith Archmage of Shadow Magic Seem to get rid of this Scum Polluting Our halls. Everyone Who is willing to assist me in Regaining the halls of The Council, I Will reward with an honoured Membership, Full access to all our libraries And Archives And if that doesn't satisfy your states I have An Amount of gold to hand out, and some artifacts from the Plane of shadows. Please Let me know Whomever Feels interested in joining me in my Coup. I am Especially looking for Qualified Mages. Quarius Citaquaira, Zenith Archmage of Shadow Magic, In the New Council of Archmages
turalisj 05-14-07, 08:34 PM	Zik entered through a portal, a grim look on his face. QUARIUS! What is the meaning of this? Pollution in the halls? You have NO right to attempt a cou d'etat. I challenge your authority here and now, and I challenge your sanity.
Aramar the Black 05-15-07, 06:42 PM	You underestimate your opposition, old friend. I am and have have been the Librarian since even the Days of the Zenith. And in the Hierarchy, I was a High Archmage. Your position, while understandable, is misguided. You dishonor the Council.
turalisj 05-15-07, 07:37 PM	Zik nodded at Aramar, a grim look on his face. I is good to see someone here with some bit of sanity. Dalion should be here soon. We will stop this rebellion in it's conception.
Demonfey 05-15-07, 11:23 PM	There is a ringing in the halls, which quickly is realized as a bellow of rage. QUARIUS! Dalion...no, Crowley comes out to fight. There is no way that this is the new one. Only the old has ever looked so enraged as to appear feral. You chose a bad time to turn traitor. (For the record, sculy, which form is Quarius going to be in? Your epic form, or an ECL 15? Because if epic, I reserve right to use the epic spell I developed for Crowley's initial game.)
turalisj 05-15-07, 11:33 PM	Zik looked at crowley with a bit of a frown, and a hidden smile. You know, I suddenly realised that I might have left the Venture heading towards Tyranor city. I'd better go stop it before it crashes.... He slowly backed away, then teleported out. One thing I've learned: don't tick off a fiendish entity. Especialy the archmage of fire...
sculyblast 05-16-07, 12:27 PM	Quarius takes A glance at those who are to oppose him. "Aha, Bad news Travels Fast, I see. Well, While you are here Anyway, I might as well Explain my Actions. I left the Halls Because of Business on the Plane of Shadows, and did not return for eight months. I left the Council with Frostbite or Crowley in charge, When I returned they were both gone, with them Famous Archmages like Zollex, Master of Sarcasm, kedi, thasis, Ravendark, baerdith And premier666. All of them Great mages in thier own way. I had known that the Council was Decreasing in size and in influence, but never had I seen Such a Quick Deterioration in the years I served the Council. There is no intelligence left in the current magical actions of the council's Archmages, no more High Quality Techniques in the teachings of the council. We used to be the place where all arcane Casters could gather to reach to summit of of Arcane lore and Wisdom. not Anymore... We have been decreased to a mere, School of magic. Call me a Treator? I think not! I am the one loyal to the true position of the Council, while you, only 4 of you remain, use the halls of the Council as some Leisure Cottage and Prohibit anyone from manifesting The Arcane Collegium in these halls that needs to be there. You have Polluted the halls with Apathy and Low level Magicians Tricks. Aramar, my old friend, I bear you no malice, please be not offended, but I know that your love of peace and Quiet Have never Motivated you to increase what is, you have a natural Tendency to be Content with what you have. These others on the other hand attribute to nothing but their own gain and leisure." As Quarius Puts Forward the Reasons behind his Actions his Anger Increases, as he Clearly starts to realise what he has lost. He calms down a Bit "I will not fight any of you today, Go home and consider your actions, I have no time for you today." ((OoC: To Demonfey. Yes I intend to have quarius in his Epic level Form, it would only be logic for one of the Zenith Archmages to be of an high Magical level, otherwise he cannot be seen as the highest autority on his subject within the council and the world. I would prefer that you do not use Crowley as a character, not because he is epic, but because you have been using Dalion as your main character, Which implies that Crowley left the Council, The leaving of powerfull mages is one of the things that enrages Quarius. On your level, I think Aramar And Demonfrey can have Epic level Characters, because they have both been part of the ruling elite, but, Sorry Turalish, it would only be logical that your character would not have passed the epic boundry, I would say he would be about level 18.))
turalisj 05-16-07, 04:53 PM	ooc: Except my character was a bronze dragon, then a psion. And remember that I only join the guild house about two years after you did, so there wouldn't be that much of a power gap.
Aramar the Black 05-16-07, 05:35 PM	Aye, it is my curse to be more of a thinker than a doer. A curse of complacency. As I have said, your reasons are quite understandable. I bear you no malice. Your words motivate me to action. Why, had you not come back, the Pentagram would never have been reinstituted, and the idea lost. But your actions may force me into action as well. I don't want you to act rashly, for fear that something will happen in the end that we all regret. (How Epic? ECL 35?) (Two years in the real world is a long time in the Council Reckoning. The again, if premier and MoS get the honor of being Great in Quarius's eyes, then surely zik is allowed a few more levels.)
turalisj 05-16-07, 05:53 PM	ooc: Zik is merely a part of Turalisj the bronze dragon with more psionic and arcane strength then my other two characters, Kitae being arcane and evil, and Tibur being my love of kobolds, martial skills, and what bit of honor I have (which isn't much, but meh)
Dyne 05-16-07, 06:17 PM	I left the Council with Frostbite or Crowley in charge, When I returned they were both gone, with them Famous Archmages like Zollex, Master of Sarcasm, kedi, thasis, Ravendark, baerdith And premier666. All of them Great mages in thier own way. No mention of me, as usual.
turalisj 05-16-07, 06:23 PM	He doesn't think either of us worthy of being noticed....
Zombomaniac 05-16-07, 09:01 PM	I've never been to active in the Council so no surprise that the Arch Mage of Time was not mentioned.
Demonfey 05-16-07, 09:56 PM	(Dalion is Crowley, just under a new name and younger face. To clear up, he never had an actual name, just an alias he commonly went by, and as such could drop it without much thought. In other words, the two are the same being, Dalion's just his name for his younger state and more peaceful attitude. Crowley's for when he snaps from, say, a month of suppressed rage from losing a portion of his control on the world and someone trying to take more of his control away.)
sculyblast 05-18-07, 10:29 AM	(OoC)No mention of me, as usual. Ooc, I did think of you dyne, but I couldn't remember what your ingame character was. I think I have been a bit apathicly active during your reign in the council. At turalisj, I have in the all the CoA threads and forums, the council had about 5/6 threads and two forums before it was placed in the guild house. About the Characters, Aramar, I Imagine your character being around level 27-29, appart from him having templates if you ever added any? Demon, your explaination seems plausible. I first assume that Crowley was your first In game dnd Character and after a year you created a new one with the name dalion. but apparently it is just one character sheet. "Zik is merely a part of Turalisj the bronze dragon with more psionic and arcane strength then my other two characters, Kitae being arcane and evil, and Tibur being my love of kobolds, martial skills, and what bit of honor I have (which isn't much, but meh)" Sorry, I don't get how four different characters are actually just one gold dragon? are the others Thralls of it? or is there some other logical explaination that connects the four characters to one Identity, otherwise, for roleplaying reasons, the most logical thing is to assume that not used characters simply left the council a while ago and you will roleplay with the ones you currently use. Otherwise It would be the same like going to your Dm, playing a campaign for 12 sessions, Reaching level 5, and suddenly trade your level 5 barbarian for the Ecl 49 Magic from last Campaign. @Zombomaniac, What side are you picking? Renegate or conventional? :P if Renegate, welcome to the team.
Demonfey 05-18-07, 12:13 PM	(There's proof in the CotP to back up the Crowley to Dalion change.) Link 1 (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=11622311&postcount=543) Link 2 (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=11620462&postcount=536) The newly dubbed Dalion... (Here it is, with the end part just a quick quote)
turalisj 05-18-07, 04:28 PM	Question: Since when did we let sculy decide who or what our character's were/are?
Demonfey 05-19-07, 12:16 AM	Since he's leading this.
Dyne 05-19-07, 12:17 AM	Ooc, I did think of you dyne, but I couldn't remember what your ingame character was. I think I have been a bit apathicly active during your reign in the council. My in-game character was my username. The character of Dyne has been absent from the Guild House for quite awhile, though. I just found it ironic, since the last time you made a story/game thing like this, you had an NPC archmage that stole my domain (Archmage of War).
sculyblast 05-19-07, 03:14 AM	OoC @ turalisj, I created the Game, So I am dm. it's quite a simple rule, and if you take to time to browse to the roleplaying boards you will see that it is practicly applied in atleast most of the threads, if not all. @ Dyne, I made Xantoflamis Archmage of War? I thought he was of Lore, then again, you may be right. I don't even remember how the game ended.
Aramar the Black 05-21-07, 01:10 PM	Question: Since when did we let sculy decide who or what our character's were/are? Well, this thing is his idea, and as long as he plays fairly by his own rules, then I don't mind. Now, if Quarius walks in with an ECL of 45+ cxharacter, then Aramar shall spontaneously gain a dozen levels.
Demonfey 05-21-07, 11:02 PM	(And now, for a little IG) Too bad Quarius. You make time now. A rain of blood falls from the sky, shortly followed by body parts. Lots and lots of body parts. Crowley looks angrier. Oh great, your speeches messed up my timing. Now my dramatic threat is going to be a threat. Anyway, you make time for our arguments and threats, or I'll just carry out mine. He takes out a flensing knife and a whetstone.
sculyblast 05-22-07, 03:37 PM	"Good, I'll listen to your arguments, But I am not interested in your threads, they are Tedious and barely cast." - Quarius, on the Power within the Council of Archmages chapter 3 paragraph 16
Demonfey 05-22-07, 04:42 PM	He begins sharpening the knife. Give up, or I will hunt down all of your loved ones and kill them, take their souls, tear them apart, and make them into a hat, all while wearing your face as a mask. After the knife is sufficiently sharpened, he picks up a head and begins skinning it. The body parts on the ground are the family and friends of the last guy who betrayed me. I think I still have the shoes I made out of them somewhere, and I know I have the face. He sticks the knife in an already cleared part, and pulls a person's face from another pocket.
sculyblast 05-23-07, 04:34 AM	my loved ones? who did you have in mind?
Demonfey 05-23-07, 10:44 AM	Don't know yet. But a little asking around in the Realm of Dreams should give me something. They get to read the minds of everyone who sleeps, and even a few who don't. He's put the other face on at this point.
sculyblast 05-23-07, 12:47 PM	Good luck.
Demonfey 05-23-07, 01:50 PM	He shrugs. Alright. Failing that, at least I'll find out where all your clones are. He walks away, and flies to the hall of portals, quickly finding the one he wants.
sculyblast 05-26-07, 06:12 AM	"clones?" quarius Asks? ((OoC Memo, quarius Has an ability or spell, I don't remember where I got It should browse my books for it, which naturally transfers him to a Secret spot on the Plane of Shadows when he hits HP = 2, on the plane of Shadows he Regenerates. the Secret Spot is in no magical way Marked. ))
Demonfey 05-27-07, 12:13 PM	(Well, Crowley wouldn't know that. Probably. Hence why he's going to a realm of telepaths that get into the minds of everyone that dreams.)
thasis 06-11-07, 10:03 AM	I've never been to active in the Council so no surprise that the Arch Mage of Time was not mentioned. I'm surprised I was mentioned. Though I had an active role in the Guild House for a long time, I was never a MAJOR particpant in the Archmages themselves.
Lady Rolindin 06-21-07, 02:16 AM	I do find this interesting in some ways, A guild that former members form a new group to fight and underestermate the greater group. Would my Dwarven arch mage join the group the new splinter group, no. But the ideal has posibilities! Do persue the possibilities and see what happens.
Demonfey 06-21-07, 02:20 AM	LR, great to see you again! Also, this is/was more of a coup thread, to try and take the Council by force.
Lady Rolindin 06-21-07, 04:03 AM	It is good to here from you too DF. If sculyblast wishes to unite the ranks of the Coa that would like to conquire it then then let them do so, or see who comes out on top. It would be interesting to see what would happen. See if you can't attract more of the evil coa arch wizards, and then see if you can't form some kind of unitfided force to take the coa over. IT would be interesting to watch. DF I have been here watching, but mostly visite in the FR, Ebrron, and other boards.
Demonfey 06-21-07, 11:41 AM	I already control the CoA, though. Sculy never actually got around to the coup part.
sculyblast 06-21-07, 12:06 PM	well, actually the whole thread never was a serious thing, it was meanly meant to get in some new and old members and to put some wood on a low burning fire. even if I had united a force of twenty ECL 60 Characters that would not have been enough to grant me control over the OoC CoA threads. Also it is a little critic of the passivity of the current Regime, translated into in games terms. for example, if you take a look at the new thread, you will notice that the ThreadKeeper, Demonbinder, made no posts in it as off yet. this was purely an "I just feel like annoying you guys" things. sculy
