Sargatanas 10-15-05, 02:50 PM	Here before you stands a building of stone. Bones decorate it with a large skull, it's mouth carved from the bones of some large creature, fanged teeth hanging down over the entrance way. The eyes set within hold green flames that light the path below it in a sickly green glow. Within the halls are covered with spatters of blood and living corpses walk down it's corridors. Moving through the area, heavily lined with undead guards, finally the visitor comes to the throne room. There, a massive Symbol of Afflux rests on an altar to the side of the room. The throne itself is a structure of bone, covered with flesh where cloth or other such things would normally be. Upon it sits the Lord of the Damned, Sargatanas. His cold eyes watch you as you enter the throne room, his fleshles jaw clacks as he forms what smile he can. "All ye who wander with no purpose, welcome. All ye who have no place to go and have nobody to love you... come forth. All ye forgotten and forsaken ones... Living, dead, all ye who are lost and unwanted, I call you forth! Come to me. I shall be your sheapherd, I am the Lord of the Damned. I will guide you to forever!" The Temple of the Damned Guild Charter: The Temple of the damned's purpose is one of revelation. To bring all those who are outcast and banished together. To punish those who turn them away and seek 'justice' for the cursed and forsaken. The members or 'Those who Serve the Temple' may be secretly or openly members. The temple is not above assassination or murder to achive their goals, they know well that their enemies would kill them at any chance. So they do what they must to punish those who have cast out their own, the damned gather, the damned grow strong, the damned fight...

Sargatanas 10-15-05, 02:51 PM	The Library of the Damned: <Here there will be listed creations of this guild as well as any spells shared by it's wizards with it's members>
Sargatanas 10-15-05, 02:52 PM	Heres how it works... The Damned Templars are any type of Knight/Fighter/Whatever... The Cursaders of the Damned are clerics or any type of divine caster (typically Clerics). The Circle of the Damned are the Arcane casters, those who use any type of Arcane spells, Wizards, Sorcerers, maybe a few more things from them splat books. Yes, I 'borrowed' the Ghashmal Keep format... If it wasn't obvious, this guild accepts all kinds of folk. Dead, alive, human, demon, whatever. But it should probably be evil or leaning toward it... even neutral could work if ya do it right. Once I get the info from the GMs about how much gold I got from the royal guard and if I get the starting gold for a guild, I'll set up the building. Until then... keep random attacks from do-gooders from here...
thasis 10-15-05, 08:44 PM	Thasis the Original hovers in. "Hello, this seems like the type of place I wouldn't mind dwelling. I wish to join this. I think Thasis the Evil will join also, but he is not around at the current time. It seems as if he is dwelling elsewhere for the time. I shall not speak for him though, he may be me, but we're not actualy that similiar" I'm signing Thasis the Original and Thasis the Evil up for this guild. Thasis the Evil is gone for the momment, and Thasis the Original is non-exsistint. He's merely a powerless spirt. He can't be effected by anything, but he can't effect anything sort of thing. He's basically there for the RPing
premier666 10-15-05, 08:54 PM	This may not be the better time, but anyway. In the skies above the Temple of the dammed, a lone eagle floats freely with the wind. "This world has suffered greatly. The balance of power has been broken, and the winds of war are about." Another voice echoes in the sky. "Yes, Thranduil, we can see that." "Then you know that our brother has been taken." "Yes." "And what will you do?" "We shall send forth a herald." "Just that?" "Yes. For now." A rift opens in the thin lines of reality, and a single winged humanoid appears. It has elven ears, siver hair, and a celestial nature about her. She flies trough the keep, and even some arrow shot by some undead guards pass rigth trough her. She then comes to the throne room, landing in front of Sargatanas. She speaks with a thousand voices. "Hail, Lord of the Dammed. I wish to speak to the one Called Asharianna." Assuming Asharianna appears: "Hail, and well met, Asharianna. We are the Moriquendi, or Shadow elves. It has come to our knowledge that you hold one of our own dominated by your powers. This cant be.We ask the release our brother. Unharmed. If you do this, we shall leave you to your own business, and we shall trouble you no more. What say you?" OOC: this is just a minor image, or something. whatever, its an ilusion. So, it wont attak ya, it can be dispelled, and you dont need to check for disbelief, you would pass that anyway. This really dont matter, but since last time I send a living messager for Asharianna, it was dominated, I'm not doing that again.
Sargatanas 10-15-05, 09:02 PM	Sargatanas nods a greeting toward Thasis the original. He waves his hand across the room and laughs. "Welcome thasis, and your other self. Thasi? Thasises? Whatever we should call you I welcome you both. We will benefit from our mutual alliances." Turning toward the non-existant elf Sargatanas laughs again. He waves his hand dismissively and does a little bit of a stretch. "Blah blah, yak yak. Leave these halls image. There is no need for you to be here, what concern is it of yours that one of your kind has fallen under the sway of another? He has fallen because he supported the wrong side in battle. I would suggest you do not make the same mistake. If you intend to 'trouble' us, I will have no problem eliminating you. Now leave my halls, I will not have you make threats to my family, now leave... unless of course, you have something to offer in exchange..."
premier666 10-15-05, 09:07 PM	Sargatanas nods a greeting toward Thasis the original. He waves his hand across the room and laughs. "Welcome thasis, and your other self. Thasi? Thasises?

Now leave my halls, I will not have you make threats to my family, now leave... unless of course, you have something to offer in exchange..." We are not making any kind of threats. when we say trouble you, we are just saying that you shall not be bothered anymore. But what I have to say is for Asharianna. Do you respresent her? (I'm using sandy brown now, cause yelow is just too bright.)
Silmarien Aldalome 10-15-05, 09:34 PM	*chuckles* gross - more bones and creepy things :) you hear the sounding of wind chimes, as a spring breeze blows in the airs. Suddenly, you see a flash of silver and blue in tne airs, above. And, just for a moment, the melodic chanting of the ManyInOne that is Hallowed Living Song. You look into the airs, and near to the Eagle is another. A tiny form, from your position on the ground, her aura silver and blue, and burning irridescent in the airs. A woman looks out at you from cyberspace - her familiar green eyes, smiling, as she strips disguise away with but a glance. Thence, a draconic chanting, with but a hint of melody as well, that is a voice that reminds you of uncertainty. It makes your bones vibrate with something unknown and unfamiliar. The elusive and the wild.
Wilds 10-15-05, 10:02 PM	"That is a persistant one. Maybe you shouldnt kill her but rather torture her for a while. So she can't do anythign but feel pain for her feeble attempts to attack this place. On that note, I wish to join this temple if it can be called that. It seems as though me and my friend maybe of use and would like to learn more of your undead ways." Totally disregarding the illusions. "You have taken an opposite approve to life than I. I threw away my flesh, but you choose to embrace it even after death. I find it interesting and would like to stay to study some of your creations."
premier666 10-15-05, 10:15 PM	*chuckles* gross - more bones and creepy things :) you hear the sounding of wind chimes, as a spring breeze blows in the airs.

Thence, a draconic chanting, with but a hint of melody as well, that is a voice that reminds you of uncertainty. It makes your bones vibrate with something unknown and unfamiliar. The elusive and the wild. The original Eagle looks at the shining eagle and speaks with a multi-toned voice. Peredhil. Why are you here? (a conversation betwheen two all seeing things who speak with multi-toned voices. interesting.)
Sargatanas 10-15-05, 10:35 PM	Sargatanas grins at the Predhil verse. He laughs as they begin to sing yet again, he turns and make a motion, a group of undead half elves walk into the room and begin to sing. Twisting their dark decaying voices into the song of the elves. Their corrupting verse merges in with that of the Predhil's, where the living verse favors those of good and life... thiers is stinging at the living half elves, their own words tearing at their minds. Again, Sargatanas grins. "Doom unto you half elven. Your own verse we use against you. Hear our words, hear that which you fear! Feel it twist and twine within your own... Give in to your fears... to all you despise and hate. Taste it... let it touch your soul..." Sargatanas laughs and glances toward Incarin with a nod. "You are a welcome addition. Your unique talents will be of great help to us. May you serve the Temple well in the coming days. For battle... death... it is inevitable. The storm comes... and it will come down upon the world as a hurricane, deadly and fierce, leaving it changed forever more." A little bit of a hint at what the first PrC I intend to post is ;)
premier666 10-15-05, 10:42 PM	Hm. The Ilusion of the elf has nothing to do with the Peredhil. So, kindly answer to it ok? ;)
Sargatanas 10-15-05, 10:48 PM	Hm. The Ilusion of the elf has nothing to do with the Peredhil. So, kindly answer to it ok? ;) Sargatanas glances at the Illusion. "No, I do not speak for her. But I would prefer we set up... what we would get in return. You see, I know my sister would like compensation if you wished her to just turn over a... 'friend' of hers.."
Zombomaniac 10-15-05, 11:06 PM	"Hahaha, Your sister does have quite the talent for making friends and I can bet she does not part with them willingly." Hirohito dismisses his invisability and takes a perch on the shoulder of one of the singing Undead Half-Elves. You can tell he takes great pleasure in their dark verses. Pausing in his enjoiment he look toward Sagantanas "I have come here seeking membership. Would you have one such as myself?"
Silmarien Aldalome 10-15-05, 11:07 PM	@Sargantans! atsa way! ;) again, you are a very creative strategist, Sargantanas, and well done, to you and well done to all! Suddenly, your perspective shifts, into the airs, where the Eagle Gabrion flies nigh to Silmarien. And from far above, Silmarien looks down upon the lands far below. The Temple of the Damned, she can see, and it's Unlife. An energy sink, in the Prime Material Plane, syphoning life away. She muses to herself This must not be! Long live the Goddess - by Grace shall we prevail and only by Grace. For in the end, it is only love that matters and only love that is. In a flash of Blue and Silver - the form winks out, a trailing of melodic Verse
Demonfey 10-15-05, 11:23 PM	The swarm shows up. Hm...interesting idea. Want to know what would be even worse to her? The song in Darkspeech.
Master_of_Flames 10-15-05, 11:57 PM	Li'ruak and La'fae float into the halls, thier eyes sweeping the area. Behind them, cloaked figures with glowing auzure eyes follow. Interesting place you contain here Sargantas. It was the former Headquarters of the Royal Guard. Would it be possible for my men to aide your own forces? I'm sure a few of my own specialty warforged will be of great help to you. They have several advangates over undead, one of them being immune to most undead targeted spells. Would it be possible to aid Li'ruak and his private arsenal to the circle. Also, you should try and forge an alliance with Warlock circle and the other evil guilds. Given enough time, there could be enough members in all evil guilds to take down the last stronghold of good: Ghashmal Keep
Demonfey 10-16-05, 12:01 AM	The Warlock Circle's isn't actually an evil guild, MoF. They just happen to have PCs that have evil ancestry.

He glances at the swarm for a moment with a nod as well before turning back toward Li'rauk with a grin. "Yes brother... you are welcome here. Your soldiers will be useful, as they too never require sleep. Soon battle will come again, and we will triumph over our foolish enemies. They can never hoope to defeat our combined power! As for you Hirohito... you too are welcome. A brother of the damned ineed are you. Those who have cast out my own kind, cast out yours as well. You are welcome among our numbers."
premier666 10-16-05, 08:27 AM	We do not know what kind of compensation you talk about. Explain. (Wow. every single BBEG of the boards is ralying around Sargatanas's flag.)
Master_of_Flames 10-16-05, 09:56 AM	Until then... keep random attacks from do-gooders from here... I don't think there's any good aligned character in the war stupid enough to do that.... well... maybe one of sil's characters might come in and start spouting threats, but thats about the most that would happen. :D
Wilds 10-16-05, 12:00 PM	Its either gana random spuradic attacks by a small number, or one coordinated attack by several guilds. Either way neither will be coherent
Master_of_Flames 10-16-05, 01:44 PM	Its either gana random spuradic attacks by a small number, or one coordinated attack by several guilds. Either way neither will be coherent or succesful. I can have my undead in the back lines providing highly accurate barrages of eldritch blasts, while the undead do a mob rush. the resulting chaos will allow the higher level people (the pc's, cohorts, and [in sargantas's case] the vampire spawn) to pick off the survivors who will have used many of thier most powerfull spells to keep the undead at bay. The result of the fight will be a landslide victory for the TotD side.
Ashariana 10-16-05, 03:11 PM	Ashariana appears from behind the throne, walking up beside Sargatanas and sitting on the arm of the throne. She smiles toward the image and then looks toward the others in the room with another sweet smile. "Greetings to you all, and welcome to the temple. Now... on to the business at hand I suppose. I do not intend to release Drauguril, but I am... open to offers. If you wish to have him back you will need to give us something of an equal value in return. A... trade would be what is needed. Of course, we will keep his things because the person is all that is important to you I assume? But if you wish me to release such a powerful ally, I will require compensation in return for that loss. I do hope you understand."
turalisj 10-16-05, 03:34 PM	Sargatanas glances at the Illusion. "No, I do not speak for her. But I would prefer we set up... what we would get in return. You see, I know my sister would like compensation if you wished her to just turn over a... 'friend' of hers.." sister? this is interesting.....
Sargatanas 10-16-05, 03:41 PM	I need to know what section people think they'd be in. Templar, Crusaders, the Circle. I could look at your characters and figure it out... but I'm lazy...
thasis 10-16-05, 03:56 PM	I miss being the head leader of the evil people... :P Anywayz... Thasis the Original suddenly collapses onto the floor and starts to twitch. At that momment energy starts to flow into him from a souce of power unknown to all that watch. One energy red, one energy gold. Thasis then stops twitching. It seems as if a mortal body has been returned to him. He is no longer in ghost form. He coughs and tears start rolling down his eyes. He then stands back up. "It is the end for Thasis the Good and Thasis the Evil it seems. I have felt there energy returning to my body. If I am correct this only means that they could be dead".

Sargatanas shrugs and looks over the new body of Thasis. He nods a couple times and laughs. "That doesn't seem like too much of a problem. You were more evil than Thasis the evil was if the stories I hear were right. Besides, their bodies and souls belonged to you anyways... How does it feel to walk among the li... well, animate again."

We are not sure of what to offer to ones such as you.
thasis 10-16-05, 05:52 PM	"This is a much more suitinful presence then my old incorporeal powerless one. Much much better". He then flexes his massive muscles "Nice to have these back".
Wilds 10-16-05, 05:54 PM	My chars an incorporeal psion. I think Incarin would be in the Circle
Zombomaniac 10-16-05, 08:35 PM	"I would suggest something...or someone as powerful or more powerful than the thrall you seek to reclaim. I am new to these lands only recently returning from the Nexus Abyss of Traynor, but I doubt Lady Ashariana would be against you taking one of our enemies and trading them for the one you seek. Though that enemy will need to be properly restrianed for our uses." Hirohito sits on the shoulder of the Undead still and sends an approving glance toward Thasis's new form, not caring what happened to the Evil and Good versions. He then looks to Sargantanas. "I will take part in the Circle O' Lord of the Damned."
Blasphemous Revenant 10-16-05, 10:19 PM	A lone figure enters the Halls of the Damned. He is shrouded in a black cloak, the hood of which is drawn around his head to conceal his form. He takes some amount of interest in the gory decoration of the walls, but he spares no time in admiring the structure. He rushes to the Throne Room, and he stands before the one who proclaims himself as the Lord of the Damned. "If the rumors are correct, then you are indeed a powerful one, Sargatanas." He inclines his head slightly toward Ashariana, just enough for you to see that beneath the hood he is one of the race of Drow. "And you as well, lady of the living dead. Your accomplishments are well known." The Drow's attention once again turns to Sargatanas. "I am not welcome among any living kind. I seek to associate myself with a group of beings that is like unto myself. Would I be allowed to be taken in among those of your Temple?"
Ashariana 10-16-05, 10:24 PM	Ashariana looks sweetly toward the image that speaks to her. She leans forward on the arm of the chair, revealing quite a bit as she does so, smiling sweetly again toward the image. She brushes the hair back on one side of her head and winks. "Why, I would want something that is worth Drauguril's life. Something that I deem equal in value. Wether this is the death of one of our enemies, or something completely different. Compensation, I want something given to me that will be worth releasing him. Otherwise... there is no reason for me to give him over to you."

I seek to associate myself with a group of beings that is like unto myself. Would I be allowed to be taken in among those of your Temple?" Sargatanas looks the man over, his cold eyes showing a slight amount of interest. Glancing toward his sister who seems to be 'showing off the goods' yet again he sighs and turns his attention back to the Drow. With a nod he waves his hand across the hall. "If you wish to join with these gentlemen and women... then you will need to tell us your name. I would also wish to know exactly what you are, perhaps removing your hood. As an outcast, you are indeed weclome among us. For we are the damned, and the forsaken. Those who serve the temple will rise to glory in the world, and be known well. For they will take rulership of all those who have done them wrong!"
Blasphemous Revenant 10-16-05, 11:05 PM	The figure removes his hood, and you see that he is a very handsome Drow, seemingly of a fairly young age for his kind. However, you notice his straight, shoulder-length hair is jet black, a peculiar color for a Drow. "I am called Valde Immodicus. I come from a long line of noble Drow. Sadly, however, that line has died out." His form changes to something much more sinister and hideous. His flesh is withered and rotted, and pieces of skin are missing in places. "I am no longer among the living, as you can see. However, this poses no weakness to me. I am a master of magic, student of both divine and arcane lore. Some of my calling call themselves the True Necromancers, free from the limitations of only one skill or the other."
premier666 10-16-05, 11:17 PM	Ashariana looks sweetly toward the image that speaks to her. She leans forward on the arm of the chair, revealing quite a bit as she does so, smiling sweetly again toward the image. She brushes the hair back on one side of her head and winks. "Why, I would want something that is worth Drauguril's life. Something that I deem equal in value. Wether this is the death of one of our enemies, or something completely different. Compensation, I want something given to me that will be worth releasing him. Otherwise... there is no reason for me to give him over to you." This demand is unreasonable. We wont kill or restrain any inocent living being for any reason. Suddenly, the image changes, assuming the form of an elven male, with bright silver hair and golden eyes. He is wearing a full plate mail, anda blue cloak its strapped at his back. His voice is clear and vivid, like water in a river. Release Drauguril. Keep his equipment if you wish, but we are not assassins or kidnappers. If you want us to do this kind of things, then this conversation is futile.
Zombomaniac 10-17-05, 12:10 AM	Hirohito flys from the shoulder of the undead leaving its dark music in the back of his mind. He flys to the Illusion at full speed with a look a hatred on his face. "How dare you threaten the Queen of Bristol!" The Imp then lets his tail fly through the head of the over zealus Elf, catching him in the eye and dissmissing the illusion. "Insolent swin! No one threatens the Queen of Bristol and Sister to the Lord of the Damned!"
Wilds 10-17-05, 12:20 AM	Floating down to be in front of the imp. "That was not a wise move. We do not need more elves feeling the urge to barge in. Plus, we could have found out where they were and "visited" them to explain how negotiations go."
Blasphemous Revenant 10-17-05, 12:29 AM	Floating down to be in front of the imp. "That was not a wise move. We do not need more elves feeling the urge to barge in. Plus, we could have found out where they were and "visited" them to explain how negotiations go." "Even better. If fools try to force themselves into our domain, we shall kill them and add them to our hordes."
Ashariana 10-17-05, 12:41 AM	Ashariana frowns at the imp and shrugs her shoulders, sitting up quickly and making a show of it. She shrugs and leans back agains the trone's arm with a sweet innocent smile. "Well, you didn't have to do that, but thank you anyway. If they were still around I would have simply told them that it is not always death or a prisoner that needs to be exchanged. Other things could of course be offered. But oh well, it doesn't appear to matter any longer. Oh well, if they try anything they'll just fail like the rest have."
Sargatanas 10-17-05, 12:52 AM	The figure removes his hood, and you see that he is a very handsome Drow, seemingly of a fairly young age for his kind. However, you notice his straight, shoulder-length hair is jet black, a peculiar color for a Drow. "I am called Valde Immodicus. I come from a long line of noble Drow. Sadly, however, that line has died out." His form changes to something much more sinister and hideous. His flesh is withered and rotted, and pieces of skin are missing in places. "I am no longer among the living, as you can see. However, this poses no weakness to me. I am a master of magic, student of both divine and arcane lore. Some of my calling call themselves the True Necromancers, free from the limitations of only one skill or the other." Sargatanas laughs and nods, waving his hand toward the symbol of Afflux that rests to the side of the room. He grins widely (as widely as a man with no flesh around his mouth can grin) as he looks upon the newcomer. "Oh I know well the path of the 'True Necromancer' for I too have tread it. So you are both brother in skill and undeath, very good indeed. We welcome you here with us, as one of the damned."
Blasphemous Revenant 10-17-05, 02:24 AM	"You too are a True Necromancer? Very interesting. "If you will excuse me, I have some 'family' that I would like to bring here." Immodicus draws his hood up once more, and he steps into one of the shadows, vanishing immediately. As a True Necromancer, I suppose I would fit as both a Crusader of the Damned and in the Circle of the Damned.

Silmarien Aldalome 10-17-05, 04:54 AM	Its either gana random spuradic attacks by a small number, or one coordinated attack by several guilds. Either way neither will be coherent *grins*
Wilds 10-17-05, 10:06 AM	*grins* i think that we might be more alike than either of us would care to admit. What does that ridiculously large post have to do wiht anything around here? Ive seen it posted in almost every one major, noon-good guild. Once would prolly be enough
premier666 10-17-05, 11:04 AM	As the image is dispelled, the eagle begins to fly away. So what happened? The negotiations were futile. I told ya that. We had to try nevertheless. So, what now? As you like to say, "you have a go". Good. Go to the meeting place. Your rider shall be waiting there. The eagle begins to transform itself, increasing in size, and creating scales. Finally, its becomes a golden dragon that flies to the horizon.

VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 04:55 PM	thank you
Blasphemous Revenant 10-17-05, 08:12 PM	On Thursday, I will go to purchase my copy of Libris Mortis. There is a sale at my bookstore. Afterwards, I will be able to create my character and his "family." Until then, I am thinking about my character, as a personality and a statistic. What do you guys think about undead, necromancers, and maniac villains in general? What material do you find particularly interesting and effective for such characters? This (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20021031x) article has some material on undead. Some of it is in Libris Mortis, but I do not believe all of it is. Heroes of Horror (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20051007a) looks like it will have a lot of interesting material for terrifying villains, gruesome encounters, and a horror campaign in general.
Demonfey 10-17-05, 08:27 PM	Maniacal villains are overused. Villains that seem amicable up until the point they kill the hero by stabbing his heart out as business would be interesting. I believe that is what Ashariana is going for, while Sargatanas is going for the maniacal villain bent on complete destruction of such and such with a huge army feel.

I believe that is what Ashariana is going for, while Sargatanas is going for the maniacal villain bent on complete destruction of such and such with a huge army feel. Well, it depends on what you consider a maniacal villain. A villain doesn't have to be totally psychopathic and destructive to be a maniacal villain. Any character that thinks he's doing right, thinks what he does is perfectly understandable and/or normal, or who's outlook/ways of thinking are just creepy I would all classify as maniacal villains. I expect for my character to be very subtle and seem almost harmless at times, while at the same time being rotten to the core. Is he really evil, or is he just misunderstood? Is that really the way he thinks, or is he just outright lying? Or is he just totally crazy and unpredictable? Nobody knows, except me.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 09:59 PM	anyone have suggestions on my character? i want something of an assassin design but i need to think of a new race for my character
Blasphemous Revenant 10-17-05, 10:02 PM	anyone have suggestions on my character? i want something of an assassin design but i need to think of a new race for my character I've always like Vampire Rogues. Vampires would make the ultimate assassins, except for their ridiculous LA ruining it for PCs. Drow make effective assassins, and they also fit the "feel" of an assassin, dwelling in the darkness and being cunningly evil.
thasis 10-17-05, 10:10 PM	Yah, Drow make insane assassins. Halflings work to with the small size (easy to slip into areas) and there fast speed (go speed!)
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 10:23 PM	actually you are on the right track i do want a small creature, but i was thinking gnome,kobold or pixie
thasis 10-17-05, 10:24 PM	Kobold possibly? They small and quick. They kinnda week though.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 10:27 PM	maybe a half black dragon kobold? or deep gnome?
thasis 10-17-05, 10:29 PM	Half-Black Dragon Kobold would be insane. I totally recomend that. And now for some RP... Thasis the Original then starts to back up. "Oh my, this is intressting. I have detected my kins presence in there respective guilds. It seems as if they weren't as dead as they made themselves apear to be. But if they are not dead I wonder how I recovered my corporeal body. This is strange"
Blasphemous Revenant 10-17-05, 10:30 PM	Kobold possibly? They small and quick. They kinnda week though. With significant sneak attack or an assassin's death attack ability (or both), strength isn't a factor. For ranged assassins, I like to use an Oathbow with slaying arrows, an Arcane Archer's arrow of death ability, or an assassin's death attack combined with Eye of the Sniper, I believe (whichever spell it is that allows ranged assassin's death attacks), you can make very effective ranged instant kills. Especially with True Strike you can be sure to hit, and a high enough sneak attack will deal significant damage even if the target succeeded on the Fort save against death.
Master_of_Flames 10-17-05, 10:32 PM	why not half-shadow dragon? or half-fiend? or half-shadow dragon/half-fiend combo kobold? you could be the kobolds pinnacle of war. Though, what kind of fiend would want a kobold as a mate, I wouldn't know.... (imagines seeing a half-shadow dragon, half-fiend try to kill someone) kobold: stop laughinf damnit! *kobold unleashes it's breath weapon* villagers: ahh!!! *thud*

You did say there were three of them... I think... at some time. I can't remember really."
thasis 10-17-05, 10:35 PM	"That isn't a possiblity, as much as he wanted us to believe has left he hasn't. He is around, I was told not to reveal his wereabouts at the momment though. His plans for return and when he plans to return are unsertain even to him"

You also get improved spotting abilities, and (depending if the gm allows it) a bonus on purchasing bows.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 10:37 PM	Half-Black Dragon Kobold it is. thanks for all the help Stasis The small creature slips unnoticed into the darkened chamber, its black wings folded around its equally dark body, not a sound is made as he and his wolf companion slink across the black marble floor and enter their quarters
thasis 10-17-05, 10:38 PM	I should probally mention this, Thasis the Original cannot manifest his true powers on this plane of exsistince. There are reasons that will be devulged to explain, all in time. He currently does not know so don't bother asking Thasis the Original. He has been reduced to an ECL15 power level (I chose ECL15 so he can play in the IFGW).
Ashariana 10-17-05, 10:41 PM	"That isn't a possiblity, as much as he wanted us to believe has left he hasn't. He is around, I was told not to reveal his wereabouts at the momment though.

Or maybe uhm... I don't know. I'm not sure exactly how demons re-gain their bodies. I didn't know they could lose them and still exist actually..." Ashariana shrugs her shoulders and makes a little bouncing motion.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 10:45 PM	either ranger or deepwood sniper or order of the bow initiate as class levels, probably achery focused ranger and a wolf animal companion The duo emerge swiftly from their room, one gliding on a thermal, the other padding across the marble as fast as his paws will carry him: " Stasis, i must speak with you tomorrow night, i have a declaration of war to announce!"

Ashariana bends over and rests on her staff, giving the little creature a hardened look. "A declaration of war? Who are you...? For one, you have no control over this temple, my brother his the Lord here. You have not joined with the Temple, so why do you presume to make declarations... and what are you doing here?" Did you even request membership here?
thasis 10-17-05, 10:50 PM	"I'm thinking that it involves the other Thasis's disapearance. We shall have to find out though". He then turns to the Kobold and says "It's not Stasis, it's Thasis. Pronounced Thai-Sis.
Master_of_Flames 10-17-05, 10:51 PM	"Well, maybe you found the body Von Crown lost. He has been looking for one. Or maybe somebody gave you a new one. Or maybe uhm... I don't know.

I thought you knew about death and what happends. Beyond life is another path, one where you are not bound by flesh, one even further along than where Sargantas is now. Li'ruak said, waving his hand over his cup then taking a swing of it. Can't be too sure whether or not a cup has poison in it.

She shakes her head and leans back on the arm of the throne. "Ah, but demons are a different thing. They don't have ya know... a soul. Their 'soul' and body are the same. So a demon goes through a different process in death than any normal mortal would."
Master_of_Flames 10-17-05, 11:06 PM	Ashariana looks toward Li'rauk witha smirk. She shakes her head and leans back on the arm of the throne. "Ah, but demons are a different thing. They don't have ya know... a soul. Their 'soul' and body are the same. So a demon goes through a different process in death than any normal mortal would." True, a demon does have a diffrent physiology than humanoids. But then, would that mean those of the so called good outsiders, celestials, archons, and the lie, not have souls? Or would they merely move on to an even higher plane of existence, beyond the comprehension of the average, or even, the above average person? Li'ruak said, putting his cup down and floating out of his chair. I'll be massacring a goblin village if anyone needs me, or if anyone needs a few more undead followers. He closed his eye and remained there for a few second before disapearing.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-17-05, 11:21 PM	"I'm thinking that it involves the other Thasis's disapearance. We shall have to find out though". He then turns to the Kobold and says "It's not Stasis, it's Thasis. Pronounced Thai-Sis. i was in a hurry
thasis 10-17-05, 11:28 PM	"I see. Well be more careful, I was almost thinking you were disrespecting me" Thasis the Original then gave the Kobold a quick wink.
Demonfey 10-17-05, 11:47 PM	"Well, maybe you found the body Von Crown lost. He has been looking for one. Or maybe somebody gave you a new one. Or maybe uhm... I don't know. I'm not sure exactly how demons re-gain their bodies. I didn't know they could lose them and still exist actually..." Ashariana shrugs her shoulders and makes a little bouncing motion. When a fiend is summoned, their soul (for that is all an outsider truly is) is brought to this plane and draws matter from the air around it and magic. When they die, they are sent back to wherever they came from, where the soul is an actual body. When they die there, they are normally dead, although there have been cases where the soul has a sub soul, and so survives long enough to form enough power to make a new body with matter lying around, like dust and air. In other words, if you have a room you want to get the dust out of, summon a demon. It pisses the hell out of them.
Demonfey 10-17-05, 11:49 PM	Well, it depends on what you consider a maniacal villain. A villain doesn't have to be totally psychopathic and destructive to be a maniacal villain. Any character that thinks he's doing right, thinks what he does is perfectly understandable and/or normal, or who's outlook/ways of thinking are just creepy I would all classify as maniacal villains.

Master_of_Flames 10-18-05, 12:06 AM	the deepwood sniper is misnamed. Sniping someone from 30ft away? It's better to snipe someone from 100ft away :D Now, take a look at my PrC, or I'll have mirk come over here and fill you with arrows. wait, he won't need to go anywhere, he can shoot you from where he is now. :P
Demonfey 10-18-05, 12:09 AM	Only if it has been approved. :P
Wilds 10-18-05, 12:17 AM	"A kobold?? This is gana be interesting...."
thasis 10-18-05, 12:39 AM	"I do agree. It's amazing that such a wide diversity of races all of evil alignment can work together so well without killing eachother out. Much better then where I came from"
Demonfey 10-18-05, 12:47 AM	*Closes multifaceted eyes and cringes for a minute, then opens one* Huh. Normally, when someone says that, everyone realizes that is what they want to do for some reason or another...
Wilds 10-18-05, 12:57 AM	"There is no need to kill each other. We have a common enemy who wishes to kill us all. IF we must go crazy evil and kill each other than we can do that once the elf and the goody goody guilds are wiped out."
Sargatanas 10-18-05, 11:16 AM	Sargatanas rocks back and laughs in his throne. Leaning foreward again grinning his eyes flash for a moment, brighter than they typically are. "There is no need for our brothers to fight. We have a commone enemy, and in the end all shall be granted an appropriate amount of their own power. Lands and so forth, depending on how well they serve the temple. Why fight between ourselves when our enemies fear our growing power?" Turning to look at the Kobold he raises a rotting eyebrow. "As for this one, who are you and what are you doing here? I've not seen you before you entered my halls speaking of declaring war. Explain yourself before I flay you alive for trespassing and this delusion of power." Vampiric...longname, did you make any posts to join the guild? Ya know... in character? I don't see one and just assuming you can waltz in and have a room here aint gonna work. Also, I need to know what part you wanna be in Thasis. Templar, Crusaders, Circle. All the info on em are in the third post.
thasis 10-18-05, 12:12 PM	Thasis looks at the rest of the members of the Temple of the Dammned "I think you misinterpeted the intentions or meaning of my comment. I ment it was a good thing, an improvement from where I was. Basically, it is much better to be here and not worry about someone trying to stab me in the back... not that they had much sucesss... but still". He then gives a quick smile. I don't know yet. I don't know exactly what he's going to be. Originally I was thinking of him being a Pit Fiend (like his original body) but yah know... high ECL and everything. I'm thinking of making him in an undead body (because I never specifisized how he came back) and making him an arcane spellcaster. So I think I'll go into the Circle of Arcane spellcaster people.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-18-05, 03:44 PM	im sorry, once again i was in a hurry, the declaration of war was supposed to be made in the GoUE:RE i DID join that guild, not this one, though--MAY I join? but i have chosen ranger as the class anyways thank you Thasis for you help
Wilds 10-18-05, 05:46 PM	So a half black dragon / 12 th ranger kobold. Wow. Lol
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-18-05, 07:40 PM	So a half black dragon / 12 th ranger kobold. Wow. Lol with a sickle, and longbow and studded leather armor and a cloak personally i like him
Master_of_Flames 10-18-05, 07:48 PM	so a mini evil half black dragon version of aragorn?
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-18-05, 07:56 PM	yes, and it brings me joy he has a wolf animal companion, its actually pretty cool i like it anyway :chicken:
Master_of_Flames 10-18-05, 08:06 PM	why not a komodo dragon type lizard? (i.e, as big as a wolf) and before anyone corrects me, I know komodo dragons aren't as big as a wolf.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-18-05, 08:28 PM	-changed it to monitor lizard instead of wolf as originally planned-
Master_of_Flames 10-18-05, 09:55 PM	Le'fae leaned back in his chair, leering at the small creature. Tell me creature, what keeps me from blasting a hole in your chest, ripping out your heart, and feeding it to Sargantas's zombies? La'fae said as eldritch energy glowed around his hand. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=169807 :D After all, it is an intimidating thing that La'fae's doing. Threatening to feed someones heart to zombies would scare anyone afraid of dying/has an extra heart.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-18-05, 10:27 PM	Nemesis, Male Half-Black Dragon Kobold Ranger 12 Ghost, Male Monitor Lizard "Thasssssiisssss........."the small reptilian creature emerges from the shadows, shrouded in a tattered cloak, astride the back of a gruesome looking lizard which hisses as much as its master, a longbow strapped across his back and a spiked gauntlet encasing one hand, the other tucking a wickedly curved sickle into his belt. " I need your help Thassssiisssss"
thasis 10-19-05, 12:32 AM	Thasis the Original looks at the small creature "What is it that you need my assistince with?"
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 03:24 PM	He looks up with hate filled eyes and malicious intent: " I am hunting Elvesssssss, filthy creaturessssss of the light, and would like to know if you wish to join me on a ssssmall....trip, if you will for a chance at ssssome good ssssport....."
thasis 10-19-05, 03:37 PM	"Mmm, I'm not directly against the elves at this time. I have no quarel with them. Considering the conflicts that have been in the past with the rest of the members in this guild I don't have much choice now do I" I don't have Statistics up for him yet. I can't actualy effect other players in conflict yet. If you want me to come along your going to have to wait to get my character aproved. I'm hopefully going to get it posted toomarow.

Man, they must have really hated those little half-dragon kobolds. My character has a very detailed (and traumatic) background. I want to be able to run some sort of adventure in a haunted mansion around Halloween, where his past shall be revealed. Otherwise, I'll just reveal it a bit of a time through various reminisces. I'm going to get Libris Mortis tomorrow, and then shall I create my character and get him posted up. Do you guys have any ideas for a Drow Necropolitan True Necromancer? I'm trying to think of particular "family" my character will have by virtue of Undead leadership, commanding undead, and other ways.

Blasphemous Revenant 10-19-05, 03:59 PM	Tell me, does that also affect half elves? Yes, it would. Half-Elves are considered Elves, thanks to their Elven Blood quality. The same goes for Half-Orcs.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 04:03 PM	Elves and Dwarves joined forces to destroy them? Man, they must have really hated those little half-dragon kobolds. well, for a little more reference, the tribe was led by a Great Wyrm Black Dragon 50 Half-Black Dragon Human Fighter 4 soldiers, and nearly 300+ half-black dragon kobolds ( the result of MANY tribes congregating into one - all were offspring or kin to the Wyrm)
Demonfey 10-19-05, 04:08 PM	Yes, it would. Half-Elves are considered Elves, thanks to their Elven Blood quality. The same goes for Half-Orcs. :plotting: You'll find out later.
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 04:16 PM	Yes, it would. Half-Elves are considered Elves, thanks to their Elven Blood quality. The same goes for Half-Orcs. unles they have the scar enforcer PrC. then they don't count as any race.
Demonfey 10-19-05, 04:19 PM	I haven't seen a character with that yet, so no worries.
Sargatanas 10-19-05, 04:28 PM	Wish I could get a reply from the GMs about how much gold I have for this whole thing... Also wish I could get experience. Maybe even figure out what I can do, say like... conquering more land. But I haven't gotten a response once...
Demonfey 10-19-05, 04:33 PM	Probably takes a while to calculate, what with the amassing of corpses, taking down a few PCs, conquering an entire base. The gold alone would probably be phenomenal. In other words, take the silence as a good sign.
jagggar 10-19-05, 04:49 PM	Sargatanas, Yes, the Temple of the Damned gets full starting gold (1 million gold). I'm still figuring out what extras are gotten for the slaughter at the RG. I'm in the processs of asking around about the bands. XP is also in the back of my head; before I get to the numbers, I want to have the general idea of who gets what figured out. Edit: Could I have the ECLs for Skartog and Kanosic?
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 05:28 PM	heh, looks like sargantas will be the number one target for any good guy trying to make a name for himself. I'm suprised every good aligned guild (printed) doesn't come knocking at our door trying to slay every member of this guild. (if I didn't hint enough at it, this would be a possible plot hook for the gm's to expand on)
Demonfey 10-19-05, 06:07 PM	Because the only other guild with a (possibly) statted army doesn't have the same numbers as Sargatanas' army, and we have another guild with a statted army as our ally (Stormhand)
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 07:16 PM	The jet-black kobold and monitor lizard enter the chamber among the others: "I pledge my sssservicesss to the Temple, I will fight for you....."
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 07:24 PM	I meant alrady made guilds such as the order of the chalice, the various churches of the good aligned dieties, the order of illmination (that one especialy, since it's a zealot guild aimed towards eliminating all evil), etc. I know that there's no force in tyranor currently that can oppose sargantas, I'm just offering suggestions to keep this game from getting boring.

Sargatanas 10-19-05, 08:01 PM	Sargatanas looks toward the small creature and adjusts his flesh-less jaw. "I see, welcome. You are now in the service of the temple. Serve us well, and do as you are told. Another addition is always welcome to our forces. But know, if you hold any thoughts of betraying the Temple. You WILL die."

Demonfey 10-19-05, 08:40 PM	Sargatanas' army is composed entirely of undead.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 09:00 PM	i think not, vampire, no problem
Demonfey 10-19-05, 09:02 PM	Hardly punishment for betrayal.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 09:19 PM	since when did i betray anyone?
Demonfey 10-19-05, 09:24 PM	Wait, you thought we were saying that would happen now? No no no, its the basic punishment for IF someone were to betray the Temple. You were just the first to be threatened with it, and then you seemed to be confused and we explained how and why traitors will become zombies. You're not about to be turned undead or killed anytime soon.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 09:39 PM	i was freakin for a minute there sorry :chicken:
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 09:52 PM	Demonfey may be able to promise he wont kill you, but that doesn't mean Li'ruak or La'Fae are against murdering someone becuae they annoyed them. ;)
Demonfey 10-19-05, 09:56 PM	Stop worrying the new members, MoF.
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 10:05 PM	But it's fun, and true. Too bad he's immune to acid though, that means my vitrolic blast wont work.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-19-05, 10:05 PM	Demonfey may be able to promise he wont kill you, but that doesn't mean Li'ruak or La'Fae are against murdering someone becuae they annoyed them. ;) i shall not be killed that easy and especially for no reason
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 10:48 PM	read thier alignment. they're nuetral evil. they burn down orphanages and massacre helpless tribes of kobold for no other reason than practice and fun. besides, nothing has been said in character about them killing you, so you can't do that without metagaming. plus, I'll need to wait until you get yourself into to much trouble....
Demonfey 10-19-05, 11:17 PM	Killing each other just makes it easier for the good guys. NOW for the main lesson, partially on myself: Again, MoF, stop plotting the death of team members, or do you forget how that pride of yours made you lose so soundly in the arena, gloating that you'd win easily and then being the first to fall? And what you're doing right now is letting your pride get the best of you, MoF. It makes people want to target you, attack you, work with their enemies to just make you realize you are not almighty, so KNOCK IT OFF. I can not stand people who just begin throwing their weight around when they have nothing prior to this to back themselves up.
Master_of_Flames 10-19-05, 11:27 PM	oh, ok. he'd probobly die from laughter at seeing sil's character anyways.... *goes off hunting for tribes of goblins, orcs, and/or kobolds*
Sargatanas 10-20-05, 12:56 AM	If any of you attack any member, for ANY reason other than that they betrayed the temple. I will personally see to it that you are turned into a sentient corpse creature, and dismembered, then left to rot in an underground chamber of some sort. DO YOU GET ME!?
Demonfey 10-20-05, 01:03 AM	Even though I am not a member, yes, Sargatanas. Also, what would attacking another member be classified as?
jagggar 10-20-05, 01:22 AM	I need ECLs for Kanosic and Skartog for figuring experience.
Demonfey 10-20-05, 01:26 AM	Inviting people to come to the GoUE and help figure out what defenses there should be. Maybe you'll see something that'd work for here.
Ashariana 10-20-05, 11:44 AM	I need ECLs for Kanosic and Skartog for figuring experience. Kanosic is ECL 13, Skartog is ECL 14
jagggar 10-20-05, 11:50 AM	Wait, how can he be at 14? Cohorts have their own XP count, and I don't recall him being in any battles (prior to the RG encounters).
Wilds 10-20-05, 03:43 PM	As long as the cohort has been with the person for some time. It is possible for the cohort to be one level lower than the person with leadership. It states it some where on the leadership thing. Onlt char lev -2 for when you first get the cohort, but it is possible to have a cohort whos ecl is -1 from your chars. My chars cohort is the same. Even though its an ecl of 16 or 17, draconic cohort reduced it to 14. so happy my chars incorporal right now.... lol
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-20-05, 03:52 PM	oh, ok. he'd probobly die from laughter at seeing sil's character anyways.... *goes off hunting for tribes of goblins, orcs, and/or kobolds* honestly i dont know what your problem with me is, nor do i truly give a damn
Demonfey 10-20-05, 04:04 PM	Well, Sil's character is half drow half high elf (or another good aligned elf race).
Master_of_Flames 10-20-05, 04:29 PM	honestly i dont know what your problem with me is, nor do i truly give a damn honestly, i was just joking around. I knwo my characters arent invincible, or even a tad bit powerful. If I had been paying attention during the gladiator fight and didn't say I was so powerful, might have actually had a chance. It seems that an event (such as the opening of the mta, the battle at therg, etc) only happens once a month, and it takes a few weeks more than it should have just to resolve the combat.

Even though its an ecl of 16 or 17, draconic cohort reduced it to 14. so happy my chars incorporal right now.... lol No, it's not. Otherwise the following paragraph wouldn't exist. If a cohort gains enough XP to bring it to a level one lower than the associated PC's character level, the cohort does not gain the new level--its new XP total is 1 less than the ammount needed to attain the next level. This rule is especially signifigcant when the PC loses one or more lvels; a cohort's level advancement could be stalled for quite some time until the PC regains his or her lost levels and gains enough additional XP to be eligible for a higher-level cohort.But that's not the problem with Skartog. He is two levels below Ashariana's ECL. The problem is that he's supposed to have his own XP count and that he hasn't gained enough XP to advance. (At least, not that I've seen. I don't recall him being in any battles prior to the RG encounters. But now that you mention it, I notice that Kanosic is also a level too high. (6 levels + 8 LA = 14 ECL) That's assuming seakin don't have a Level Adjustment.

Which is the only reason I said he was ECL 14. Kanosic is ECL 14. Sargatanas has Improved Cohort. Its a feat that lets his cohort be a level higher than it usually can be. I hope that clears some things up...
Blasphemous Revenant 10-20-05, 08:34 PM	I just got Libris Mortis today, and I'm excited to start working on my character and explore the many options expanded by this book. I'll introduce my horde in a little bit. For now, my latest creation: Phylactery of Undead Rebuking: This item is a boon to any character able to rebuke and command undead, allowing him to do so as if his class level were four levels higher than it actually is. Moderate necromancy [evil]; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item, 10th-level cleric; Price 11,000 gp.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-20-05, 08:46 PM	Another one of my ideas. Ring of Enlightenment: This ring of glittering quicksilver magically imparts knowledge to the wearer, whispering to his mind the answers to problems, suggestions of solutions, and additional thoughts for consideration. Creatures wearing this ring find that their mind is opened to a new and more complex way of thinking. This ring imparts a magical bonus to the wearer's Intelligence score, in the form of an enhancement bonus, depending on the power of the ring. The ring does not earn the creature extra skill points. Moderate transmutation; CL 8th; Forge Ring, fox's cunning; Price 4,000 gp (+2), 16,000 gp (+4), 36,000 gp (+6).
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-20-05, 10:03 PM	i like them ^_^ :chicken:
turalisj 10-20-05, 10:08 PM	no, seakin don't have an LA. Actaully, I managed to make an increidbly powerful seakin warlock evolved vampire gestalt as a BBEG in a campaign where you can either be good or evil. It took the good guys five fights to figure out that I couldn't be stopped by a river. :D
jagggar 10-20-05, 10:19 PM	Okay, much more clear. Thank you. I probably get lost a little to easily with my lack of newer books.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-20-05, 11:07 PM	The doors of the temple glide open, and Immodicus enters with a small, child-like being riding on his shoulders piggy-back. He is also followed by a beautiful woman garbed in expensive and luxurious clothing. A skeleton brings up the rear, carrying luggage and few items. When they reach the throne room, Immodicus sets the child on the floor, and she plays with his silver holy symbol of Afflux. "I would like to introduce to all of you my family. This little one is my daughter, Parvula," he says gesturing to the pale creature whose mouth is full of rotten teeth when she smiles. "And this is Bellatrix," he says referring to the beautiful woman at his side. "Necro is our family servant. He may be a mindless skeleton, but he is remarkable for his kind." The skeleton remains standing, holding the bags full of their belongings.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-20-05, 11:14 PM	The kobold clings to the rafters, high above the others, his mount prowling the shadows below, he hangs there, waiting.
Ashariana 10-20-05, 11:21 PM	Ashariana smiles sweetly to the man and his family as they enter. She nods her head in a slight token of respect or acknowledgement, its hard to say which. She stands from the arm of the throne and leans into her staff. The staff's position helping to show off her curves yet again. "Welcome to the temple. I see that you too worship Afflux, my brother will like that a lot I'm sure. He is a cleric dedicated to his service as well. Make yourselves at home... well... to an extent that isn't disrespectful of course." Ashariana smiles sweetly again toward the family and then looks toward Sargatanas on his throne.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-20-05, 11:27 PM	The jet black lizard follows the mental commands of its master, moving between the others, taking in their scents and body-language, all the while Nemesis drifts over the rafters like a shadow, never once seen nor heard, silently planning his next move
Blasphemous Revenant 10-20-05, 11:48 PM	"Ooh, are you a doggy?" Parvula says, petting the monitor lizard. She then tries to climb onto the lizard and ride it like a horse, while Immodicus picks up the holy symbol and puts it around his neck. "Thank you. Indeed, Afflux is a most powerful being, worthy of our respect and admiration." He gestures to the skeleton. "Necro, take the things upstairs to our rooms. Guard them with your unlife." The skeleton shuffles up the stairs and disappears. The woman called Bellatrix is fascinated by the architecture of the temple, running her hand across one of the walls. VampBLNemesis: How good are you at hiding?
Wilds 10-21-05, 11:35 AM	"A family? Well welcome to the temple" demonfey were is sils char posted? cant find it in the threads i have looked in
Zombomaniac 10-21-05, 01:15 PM	May not be posted. He may have wanted to keep it secret for "better RP." Hirohito flys off from the wall, having finnally colded down after the threat placed toward Ashariana (and finely getting access to computer). He flys over to the family of undead and lands on the shoulder of the little girl. "I would not suggest that, my dear. Few like their mounts being ridden be someone else and fewer mounts take well to a sudden change in rider."
Demonfey 10-21-05, 02:22 PM	"A family? Well welcome to the temple" demonfey were is sils char posted? cant find it in the threads i have looked in PCT4, page 2, bottom of the page. Look for the unbelievably long backstory. ;)

Nah, those were bought just to counter Ashariana's Domination of Drauguril. Sargatanas nods to the family as they enter, once again adjusting that fleshless jaw. He looks toward the little girl with a bit of curiosity but shrugs and turns his attention back to the mother and father. "The temple welcomes you. I am sure your soldiers alongside my own will do great things for the Temple's cause. The world shall see the turth, the glory of all that we do. The true nature of unlife, they shall witness it all... and in the end... they will thank us."
Demonfey 10-21-05, 03:51 PM	Slaughter mate.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 04:08 PM	Slaughter mate. you cant spell Slaughter without Laughter
Demonfey 10-21-05, 04:09 PM	That's the name of the undead creature he has.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 04:42 PM	That's the name of the undead creature he has. who? Sargatanas? cool :chicken:
Blasphemous Revenant 10-21-05, 07:17 PM	The little girl is a Slaymate. And Bellatrix is a vampire. Bellatrix and Immodicus aren't actually the biological parents of Parvula, but they treat her as their daughter. Parvula scowls at the imp. "You're not any fun." She leaves the lizard alone and instead begins exploring the temple. Bellatrix watches what she is doing, but for the most part her parents let her do as she wishes. Valde Immodicus bows to Sargatanas. "Thank you, Lord of the Damned. My household is eager to lend its efforts to the interests of undead society. A number of my Drow brethren wait outside to be admitted into the temple.
Demonfey 10-21-05, 07:30 PM	Sorry. I knew it was one of the two. Just out of curiosity, can someone send me info on a drow insignia?
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 08:31 PM	Drow House Insignias are in the Underdark book? dont quote me on it
Demonfey 10-21-05, 08:35 PM	Sorry, but no. Checked it. Anyone got Races of Faerun?
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 09:06 PM	oh, wait City of The Spider Queen, sorry thats the one, so u like my character?
Demonfey 10-21-05, 09:12 PM	Quick check over, yes, but I'm going to have to look at it closer before doing anything concerning your character. Thanks for the book name.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 09:20 PM	no prob
Demonfey 10-21-05, 11:15 PM	Death's touch: Armor enchantment that basically negates all positive energy spells. Price: +4 bonus

It is a shrill, dark, laugh that would send shivers down the sines of the living."Yes, I suppose it is true. Comes from being the familiar to one to many Spellcasters. You might find fun in the dungen. i am sure we have a few "guests" in there by now."
Sargatanas 10-21-05, 11:20 PM	An item shouldn't be able to give you leadership. Leadership is something that you can do or not, it shouldn't be magically given to you.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-21-05, 11:21 PM	Nemesis hangs in the rafters, his sickle tucked inside his cloak, and his gauntleted fist resting across a wooden beam while the other digs into the wood with its claws, Ghost prowls below, waiting.
Wilds 10-22-05, 09:30 PM	"There are guests down stairs? Really?.... It would seem that some questions must be asked about that thing that popped in here before."
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-22-05, 09:35 PM	as Wilds moves about beneath him, Ghost crawls in Wilds direction while Nemesis remains silent, hidden, and sitting upon the rafters, longbow now strung and aimed at something behind Wilds, his eyes focused, drawing back on the string
Solmund 10-22-05, 09:41 PM	Kaanrik walked into the main hall, his leathery wings folded around him like a cape. A single spear lay slung across his back, and a breastplate of the purest mithril protected his body. I am Kaanrik Gnomebane, foe to all those who think that the kobold are a weak race. My army of psionic kobold will assimilate all those who oppose us. That's right, I said assimilate.

That is Sargatanas' or Ashariana's decision to make, and no one else's. And before you ask, I'm just here to see what your army doesn't have covered, Sargatanas.

Zombomaniac 10-22-05, 11:26 PM	Just to warn everyone, Hirohito's personality will go through shifts and alterations for alittle while. I haven't finished desiding what his personality will be like so I am toying with different stuff. The things I have choosen are: He likes to sit on people shoulders a lot. He feels it is the best place to advise people from and watch what is going on. This is a habit he picked up from being the familiar to many spellcasters. He will also be very loyal to the top evil poeple.
Solmund 10-22-05, 11:51 PM	Perhaps he can become Kaanrik's familiar. :D

Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 12:00 AM	The Immodicus 'family' watches the kobold rendezvous silently, naturally slipping from the notice of the crowd. Suddenly, the doors burst open once more, and two large and powerful hounds bound in. The have patches of fur missing, and closer inspection reveals stiching all over their bodies. If one were to closely peer into their mouths, they would notice they are without any inner substance. One of the dogs howls and leaps toward Parvula. The girl giggles with delight, climbs onto its back, and the trio heads toward the dungeons. "Perhaps I should oversee them," Bellatrix blurts out before following them. Valde doesn't seem the slightest bit flustered by the whole ordeal. "Guests in the dungeons indeed? Let us hope their usefulness is not destroyed after the family has their way with them. The dogs love to play catch." His eyes quickly turn to the kobolds. "I did not realize the kobolds commanded such a presence in these parts. In my experience I did not have the pleasure of interacting with them on many occasions." "I am worried of a growing threat, manifested in the form of a dark Elf that visited you a short time ago. Word has spread of a Drow priestess leading an attack against your forces shortly after you occupied the Royal Guard headquarters. The living seem to be concentrating their efforts more against the undead in these later years, what with the development of Positoxins and new magics that take advantage of our negative energy. With the development of such new weapons, the need arises for resources to defend against them."
Demonfey 10-23-05, 12:11 AM	I've got a plan for your undead. it's called Death's Touch armor, to protect undead from the perils of positive energy.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 12:11 AM	Immodicus, are you with us? NOTE- the guild will be remade tonight, with all its specifications
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 12:16 AM	Immodicus, are you with us? NOTE- the guild will be remade tonight, with all its specifications I am with the Temple of the Damned. "Death's Touch Armor? I myself am virtually incapable of using armor, but perhaps others of my household would find it useful."

Demonfey 10-23-05, 12:29 AM	I am with the Temple of the Damned. "Death's Touch Armor? I myself am virtually incapable of using armor, but perhaps others of my household would find it useful." Twilight armor. Something I found in my travels. Basically, it allows mages like ourselves to use armor without it interfering with our casting as much. In cases such as leather armor, it completely negates all the interference armor gives our casting. Twilight armor: BOED, -10 to %arcane failure chance from armor
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 12:36 AM	Twilight armor. Something I found in my travels. Basically, it allows mages like ourselves to use armor without it interfering with our casting as much. In cases such as leather armor, it completely negates all the interference armor gives our casting. Twilight armor: BOED, -10 to %arcane failure chance from armor Immediately it is obvious that Valde takes more interest in the topic. "You can make this Twilight Armor? Can you tell me how much it would cost for a suit of this Twilight Leather Armor with the Death's Touch quality?"
Demonfey 10-23-05, 12:44 AM	I can't make it, but I can find those who can. Altogether, it'd cost a bit, but I have had a similar suit, but protecting against negative energy, save my life in the past. A dragon the size of this temple tried to kill me with a death spell, you see... Death's touch is my own creation, so that has to pass inspection first. Just a head's up. Twilight: +1 enchantment bonus, and since you have to be at least part cleric, you know how to use armor. Altogether, it'd be a + enchantment cost, +1 for having to have at least a +1 enchantment bonus to be able to carry such enchantments. Total, 36,160 gold for +1 Death's Touch Twilight leather armor.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 01:08 AM	I'm only a Cloistered Cleric, so I can only use light armor. I figured it would suit me, since heavier armor would restrict my arcane spellcasting anyway. Besides, anyone can use armor. If you're nonproficient, the check penalty applies to more things, so you'd have more of a penalty. And since leather armor has no armor check penalty, proficiency is irrelevant. I am a capable magic item crafter. I currently have Craft Rod, but I could trade it in for Craft Weapons and Armor. Perhaps it would suit us better, and I could craft my own armor (maybe even get a Skillful weapon from CA).
Demonfey 10-23-05, 01:14 AM	Give it a shot, then.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 01:20 AM	Give it a shot, then. What would be the required Caster Levels for the Twilight and Death's Touch abilities?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 01:23 AM	5 for twilight, 7 for death's watch.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 01:26 AM	PLEASE EDIT OR -DELETE- THAT POST ON MY PAGE!
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 01:27 AM	"I have some skill at creating items with magical qualities, such as weapons and armor. Perhaps I could procure the knowledge to craft this Death's Touch armor. I could create it for any of the supporters of the Temple, and at a lower price than a greedy merchant."
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 02:08 AM	I almost forgot. Do the Twilight or Death's Touch abilities require any particular spells to craft?
Demonfey 10-23-05, 02:10 AM	To be honest, I just made it up off the top of my head. I didn't think about stuff like that when making it, unfortunately.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 02:25 AM	To be honest, I just made it up off the top of my head. I didn't think about stuff like that when making it, unfortunately. Perhaps we could come up with a Negative energy version of Death Ward.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 02:27 AM	Probably could...I got it! Life Ward: protects against positive energy. Otherwise exactly like death ward.
Wilds 10-23-05, 12:57 PM	lol Life Ward the god send of the temple of the damned. "I do not know why you are aiming at me, or why your pet is trying to follow me." With that he floats into the ground and back out. "You see, it is rather difficult for me to be harmed by most things and that my friend will take not to kindly to me being threatened. But try if you want. We could have a little contest? Something to raise the mood?"
Solmund 10-23-05, 01:21 PM	Kaanrik raised his hand up and a wall of blue-black flames sprung up infront of Incarnin and the other kobold. Save the fighting for the Knights. He barked (almost literally), the dismissed the wall in another sweep of his hand.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 01:31 PM	as Wilds moves about beneath him, Ghost crawls in Wilds direction while Nemesis remains silent, hidden, and sitting upon the rafters, longbow now strung and aimed at something behind Wilds, his eyes focused, drawing back on the string i dont have a problem with you, it was going to be a creature behind you but you've ruined the flavor already so forget it.
Demonfey 10-23-05, 01:36 PM	Well, since he's incorporeal, it wouldn't be that much trouble to him...or impossible for you to hit due to having mundane weapons and trying to shoot an ethereal creature...
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 01:47 PM	Well, since he's incorporeal, it wouldn't be that much trouble to him...or impossible for you to hit due to having mundane weapons and trying to shoot an ethereal creature... *SEE TITLE*
Demonfey 10-23-05, 01:49 PM	I was talking about the creature. Either the creature (it) wouldn't be much trouble to him, or you wouldn't be able to hit it.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 02:00 PM	Valde's attention suddenly shifts to something near Incarin. He laughs, and with a snap of his fingers, the shadowy form of a displacer beast comes bounding toward him. "Umbra wasn't going to hurt anyone. In fact, I think he likes Incarin." The creature seems to be much more playful than a 'normal' displacer beast, but its incorporeal form already shows it is nothing close to 'normal'. The Umbral template applied to a displacer beast, from Libris Mortis. Also, the 'dogs' from before are Hollow Dogs (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20021021a).
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 02:44 PM	I was talking about the creature. Either the creature (it) wouldn't be much trouble to him, or you wouldn't be able to hit it. first off how do you even know its incorporeal when IM the one who was going to introduce the thing into the game?
Wilds 10-23-05, 02:48 PM	Lol I know that u werent aiming at Incarin, but he didnt. Thats why nothing happened. A wall of ectoplasma pops in front of the other kobold. "Do not waste your energy. We have bigger things to fight now dont we?" He dismisses the wall. "Rather interesting family you have. How about we go talk to our guests?"
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 02:51 PM	Valde's attention suddenly shifts to something near Incarin.

Demonfey 10-23-05, 02:54 PM	Nemesis, you are missing my meaning. Incarin is intangible. He can't be hurt by most tangible things, including creatures. If the creature was tangible enough to be shot, it wouldn't be any kind of threat to Incarin at all. If it wasn't tangible enough to shoot, then you'd have wasted an arrow. Is it clear now?
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 02:55 PM	Nemesis leaves his perch and flies down to the others, joining Ghost and folloiwng them, he looks the the others: "ssso then, sssshall we sssee to our guesssstsss?"
Sargatanas 10-23-05, 02:55 PM	Sargatanas sits upon his throne and scratches at his head. He shrugs his shoulders and raises a rotting eyebrow toward Incarin and the others. "What guests? We don't have anyone in the dungeons. There wasn't much reason for it after they all stood up as Wights. Also, if you folks don't stop screwing around and slinging spells and threats, I'm gonna eat ya. Before you start with the incoporeal stuff Incarin, yes, I can get around that. NOW, tell me... what shall we do with that disgusting creature that showed herself here and attacked us?"
Wilds 10-23-05, 02:56 PM	That would be good in two ways. One, we have guards :banghead: (<--i never think fo that type of stuff) and Two. it would definatly give the creepy atmosphere. Seeing a bunch of wolf/dog skins running around will definatly scare the crap out of peasants and such. Just make sure that they are life warded or things. Cause Sil will prlly try to take them out first, or as retribution
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 02:58 PM	"Massster Ssssargatanasssss...i am with you, your will iss mine."
Demonfey 10-23-05, 03:02 PM	A demonic creature walks through the doors...without opening them first. NO! BAD GOLEM! It looks down at the wolf trying to get it out YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE GUILD OF ULTIMATE EVIL! The golem turns around and leaves, heading towards the GoUE. Sorry about the doors, just got a new demonflesh golem for the GoUE. Unfortunately, I think its eardrums have rotted a bit...
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 03:07 PM	who can help with defenses and such for my guild? it would be much appreciated
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 03:37 PM	can u set a pack of those things to patrol the area? Unfortunately, I only have two. I still have 23 HD of undead left that I can command, though, so I could possibly get some more.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-23-05, 03:38 PM	please go to my KM:BDD HQ, i need your help there.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-23-05, 10:57 PM	There are a number of undead creatures that don't seem to have any specific way of being created. Some undead respawn, and others just are. A few hint at some ritual that creates their kind, but they fail to expand on the in-game specifics. As such, I would like to create a sort of "Manual of the Corpsecrafter", a collection of lore and spells that create undead other than those listed in Animate Dead, Create Undead, and Create Undead. The spells would especially be for undead from sources other than the Monster Manual, such as from Libris Mortis, MM II and III, and the Random Encounters articles. Undead Animation Spells Blaspheme (LM) Bloodmote Cloud (LM) Bone Rat Swarm (LM) Boneyard (LM) Brain in a Jar (LM) Corpse Rat Swarm (LM) Entomber (LM) Hooded Pupil (LM) Hulking Corpse (LM) Mummified Creature (LM) Revived Fossil (LM) Hollow Creature (hollow dogs) (RE) LM = Libris Mortis RE = Random Encounters articles
Blasphemous Revenant 10-24-05, 12:28 AM	Animate Swarm Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Targets: Mass of corpses of the appropriate type Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell works like animate dead, except you animate a swarm of undead creatures. You can animate a bloodmote cloud, bone rat swarm, or corpse rat swarm, depending on the type of creature and the condition of the corpses. The swarm is created under your control, and it counts against the number of undead you can control with animate dead and similar spells, but the swarm is counted as though its hit dice are halved for this purpose. In all other cases, this spell is as the animate dead spell. This spell may be allowed to create other undead swarms as the DM sees fit. Material Component: Black onyx gem worth at least 25 gp per Hit Die of the undead swarm. The magic of the spell turns the gem into a worthless, burned-out shell. Example: Valde the Necromancer wants to create a corpse rat swarm. Since the swarm has 8 HD, he must spend 200 gp on a black onyx gem. He then casts animate swarm, animating a mass of undead rats under his control. The corpse rat swarm counts against the 40 HD of undead he can control from animate dead and similar spells and effects (he's CL 10). But the swarm only counts for 4 HD instead of 8 for being a swarm.
thasis 10-24-05, 10:02 AM	Animate Swarm Kills! Thasis loves it! I shall save this to my computer and quiet possibly print this out.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-24-05, 06:15 PM	I think I'll change the material component just a little bit, perhaps just a single gem that you hold in your hand. It would be extremely difficult to get gems small enough to fit in a mosquito's mouth or eye socket.
Demonfey 10-24-05, 06:16 PM	Just made a new item in the GoPG. I'm probably going to bring it over here, too.
Master_of_Flames 10-24-05, 06:35 PM	or a flea's mouth....
Demonfey 10-24-05, 06:58 PM	To quote Walter against an army of undead called ghouls (think zombies, just called something else): "Too slow! Ghouls are only ghouls in the end. Putting their persistence to work was a good idea...But as you'll see! This army's far from IMMORTAL or INVINCIBLE." *entire army is sliced to pieces with a pulling of wires.* Which leads to my new magical weapon Gloves of bladed destruction: The wearer of these gloves can make up to five +1 vorpal razorwire garrotes from rings placed on each finger. To use them correctly, the wearer must have exotic weapon proficiency (razorwire garrote), weapon finesse, and a dexterity of at least 20. Incorrect use results in a mess due to the user being caught in the wires and the enemies getting better handholds. The garrotes, when used this way, attach to both gloves, limiting reach to 25 feet with them, and each does slashing damage. Three times a day, the gloves allow the user to increase the number of wires so that dozens of wires can hit multiple targets in what could be considered a web of razor sharp wires until either concentration is broken or all targets are dead/out. To use this, the user must stand stock still, and if they move, the effect ends as the wires all snap off the rings and all enemies are freed. Each target within a half circle of twenty five by fifty feet is caught in the web, and it takes an pair of opposed escape artist checks to escape unharmed, against a grapple check made by the wearer. If the first check succeeds and the second fails, then the person is partially trapped, and roll a d4 to find out if it's a limb or limbs, 1 and 3 being one arm or one leg, 2 and 4 being both arms or both legs, taking 1d4 a round from razorwire cutting into their limbs. This takes an escape artist check of 20. Failing all rolls means that they are completely unable to move, and that takes an escape artist check of 40 to escape, taking 2d4 damage a round. Succeeding both rolls means you escape the web unharmed. Armor, even full plate, is cut by it as though with a sword, so it doesn't help as much as some would think. In other words, treat as giving the feat sunder for situations involving its entanglement power. Each victim is on a different roll, and if there is a critical roll on a twenty, after confirmation, the target is killed. Each wire does 2d4 damage, plus 1.5 times the strength modifier. For a more "person friendly" approach, the garrote wires can be made so that they don't cut things to bits. This use can wrap around items and be used to bring them closer. It can retrieve weapons (sleight of hand 20), be used to catch people falling without any really severe damage (such as being cut into tiny portions from the wire and gravity), using a Use rope check in combination with a sleight of hand check. Finally, it can also be used as a scaling tool, to a certain degree. Cost: 72,000+20,000+500=92,500 gp Need decapitating scarf spell to make, CL 14.

Zombomaniac 10-25-05, 12:16 AM	Hey Blasphemous Revenant I really like your idea of a expanded Book of Undead. Pretty soon I should I will have a good spell/poison/disiase/construct/undead/living being/ritual that will go very well into all this (it really is all those things in one way or another :D ).
Zombomaniac 10-25-05, 09:22 AM	In what book are poisons and disiases talked about? :confused: I will look through my books to try and find all the undead i can that dont realy explain stuff. I'll also try to come up with some other new stuff for the "Manual of the Corpsecrafter"
Demonfey 10-25-05, 03:22 PM	The best ones are in the BoVD.

Master_of_Flames 10-25-05, 07:49 PM	Well, Zerin is the ninja lord of the hidden dagger clan, so it makes sense that he has poison crafting for one of his skills...

Blasphemous Revenant 10-26-05, 07:09 PM	Valde Immodicus clears his throat. "The Drow priestess is indeed a threat to our well-being. The living surely see the existence of Undeath as a corruption of their values. Given enough time, the Drow priestess could gather significant support against us. "However, we cannot simply destroy her. She would be made a martyr by her people, and another would rise to take her place. "In the meantime, I would suggest making preparations. We should know as much about the enemy as possible, so that we are better prepared to deal with it. Additionally, in the wake of an offensive victory, we must fortify our defenses, lest we suffer the same fate as the Royal Guard. Our enemies are constantly developing new weapons against our kind. In response, new defenses must be created."
Wilds 10-26-05, 07:36 PM	"Why not kill her? She may become a martyr but in the end she is still dead. If another rises to take her spot then kill that one too. Eventaully they will run out of people or give up. Either way, the undead will grow stronger and the living weaker."
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-26-05, 07:41 PM	Nemesis stands at the head of a small scouting party, backed by several devils and a pair of Black Dragon Disciples, waiting for orders

Blasphemous Revenant 10-26-05, 08:05 PM	Make Hollow Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 5, Drd 5, Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, M, F Casting Time: 1 hour Range: Close (25 ft. +5 ft./2 levels) Target: One corpse Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: No This spell animates the skin of a corpse, creating a hollow (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/re/20021021a) creature. To perform the spell, the skin of a natural creature is flayed and sewn back together with the creature's insides. The remains are then burned on a desecrated pyre. The disconnected spirit of the creature finds itself forced to stay with the remains of its body. After animating the skin, a newly hollowed creature seeks to refill its insides with the flesh of any other living creature that it can tear apart and stuff into its maw. Creatures created by this spell are not immediately under the control of the spellcaster who created them. You cannot create a hollow creature with more hit dice than you have caster levels. Material Component: A pyre under the effects of a desecrate spell. You must place a black onyx gem worth at least 50 gp per HD of the undead to be created into the mouth or eye socket of each corpse. The magic of the spell turns these gems into worthless shells.

Demonfey 10-26-05, 08:24 PM	We're doing a lot of contracting out and making jobs so people feel obligated to help us after we made them richer. To put it another way, we're helping our area's economy and ourselves, since we have little in the way of defensive magic practicioners.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-26-05, 08:29 PM	"Sounds intriguing. Will you take me to this GoUE?"
Master_of_Flames 10-26-05, 08:29 PM	A masked and cloaked elf walked in from the side of the wall, his body semi transparent. The drow does need to be killed. She threatens the balance of power. That is something you may not understand, but my master does. He vanished back through the wall, and a second later a luna moth flutters above, gliding on the winds towards the north, bearing the mysterious ninja. I'm going to slowly things about Zerin's past, such as who this 'master' is and why his clan was nearly wiped out.

Blasphemous Revenant 10-26-05, 08:33 PM	Immodicus turns to the masked ninja. "I would be very interested to hear your master's take on this matter." He shifts his attention back to Demonfey. "Lead the way."
Demonfey 10-26-05, 08:36 PM	If you would follow me. The majority of the swarm dissipitates, leaving only one of the somewhat interesting creatures to lead the way.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-26-05, 08:45 PM	Immodicus follows the creature out of the temple. Almost immediately after he leaves, a crash can be heard in the dungeons. Moments later, Bellatrix emerges dragging a distraught Parvula. The little 'child' bawls her eyes out as her 'mother' tries to maintain some semblance of order. "Go to your room, now! Necro will make sure you behave, while mommy must clean up the mess you made." Parvula reluctantly ascends the stairs to her room. Bellatrix turns to Sargatanas, and an expression of deep remorse immediately fills spreads across her face. "Lord Sargatanas, I am deeply sorry. I will be sure to repair what damage the child might've caused." She heads outside, and a moment later returns leading a group of Homunculi into the dungeons. The dogs, meanwhile, lay disappointedly in a corner of the throne room. Umbra, the umbral displacer beast, is nowhere to be found.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-26-05, 08:54 PM	Nemesis follows behind the others, flanked by a pair of BDD's, and Ghost.

He shrugs and continues on to the throne room. Behind him walks a pair of warforged dragging a cart of stone and other materials. He nods to them and waves them away then looks toward Sargatanas. "Alright chief, where do you want this stuff? Have you decided on exactly what it was you wanted me to do for the rest of your order? I've got a whole lotta stuff I can build here for ya, you should know that. But I need ta know exactly what it is yer wantin before I can start on it. Oh, and here is your little special order." Glenn removes a gem from his pocket and tosses it to Sargatanas before turning to look at the stones and running his hand over them.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-27-05, 03:20 PM	so i take it we will be preparing for open warfare, well the KM:BDDs are behind u 100%
Blasphemous Revenant 10-28-05, 12:47 AM	Valde Immodicus returns to the Temple of the Damned. "Lord Sargatanas, the GoUE is in the process of constructing its main stronghold. They wished for me to deliver their construction notes." He extends a hand clenching a rolled up document. Few things from the Draconomicon, Power word spells, some undead, reinforced doors and windows, special siege weapons, an escape dirgible (because every good lair needs an escape pod), maybe some constructs (tell me type you prefer). Oh, and of course, the *insert water creature here* pit. First enchanted items: cloudgathering orb (for the right atmosphere), 33,000 gp; inscriptions of privacy (keep people from scrying), 14,000 gp; pitch black luminary (place it so that it activates when a group of people are near two pit traps, and rig the pits so that one will only go off when two pressure plates are pressed, namely one in front and one behind, so that where there was solid ground at first, there isn't any more , 15,000 gp without the pits; combine that with a cavern of the earthbound (no flying over the pits), 14,000 gp; greater pool of scrying, 33,000 gp; and finally, veil of obscurity, meaning no cheap paladin ability to give positions away, 25,000 gp. Starting: 33+14+15+14+33+25=134*1000=134,000 gp spent on these defenses for those. Ironwyrms cost 225,000 gp, and drakestone cost 175,000 gp. Drakestone are CR 15, Ironwyrm CR17. We could get at two of either, or maybe four drakestone and still be in the budget. 119,000 gp (magical items to protect the building on hand, without pitchblack luminary, taking suggestions on more) 175,000 gp (drakestone golem price) 350,000 gp (pair of golems) Total: 474,000 gp spent Scrap the dirgible Optional: Bag of endless caltrops (2,300 gp, gives endless supply of pointy things, especially handy for claymore minefield idea.) Dwarven tunneler (70,000 gp, surprise the enemy by coming up right beneath their mages, or maybe heavy weaponry before getting away in the tunnel you make) Summon fiends, and maybe begin letting monsters lair here (happens in real D&D, so why not here?), using a table of indigenous monsters (check with GMs on this tactic) Demonflesh golem (260,000 gp, CR 18) for reference (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=6147437) EDIT: Also, note that "Necro" is now an Entomber, rather than a skeleton. I originally planned on using the Necromancer variant in Unearthed Arcana to aquire a Skeletal Minion, but I decided on something else instead.
Sargatanas 10-28-05, 10:11 AM	Sargatanas looks toward Glenn as he enters and nods. Waving a hand toward the doorway and pointing toward a few other areas in the room. He then turns to Valde and nods, reading over the information he is presented with. "Yes, I see... quite the list here. I have my own ideas, but I do like the cloud thing... might be good for Kanosic here... But I'm sure you can see that Glenn here has already been hired to do some work for us." Sargatanas looks down at the gem and grins as he lifts it and drives it into his forehead. Nodding with a laugh he leans back in the throne.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-29-05, 04:40 PM	Nemesis stands before Thasis, his eyes darting quickly around the room: "Lord Thasis, I shall be gone for a few days, possibly longer (IRL )
Zombomaniac 10-29-05, 09:06 PM	After the small girl go to her room HiroHito flys from her shoulder seeing that newcomers have entered the Temple. He flys over and lands on the top of Sargantas's throne. "What have you gained in that gem Master?" In my next post I am going to describe what I have done on the Ritual/poison/monster/etc I told you about. I dont have much done because of a extreme lack of time, but I'll put what I have in the post.
Zombomaniac 10-30-05, 12:53 PM	Ok sorry for the long wait on the post. I wan't able to get it done at the time. Basicly this is a Ritual that I think has been a long time coming. If you look in DnD there are 4 main types of creatures, Living, Undead, Outsider, and Construct. Each one one is immune to something the others aren't. Constructs and Undead are immune to piosons and diseases, Outsiders aswell with pioson and are really hard to kill off their homeplane, Living are immune to the lease put still have a general tolerance to most anything. Spells like Undeath to Death are pointless against alyone but undead. Harm does nothing bad to undead and even a very general purpis spell like Magic Missle is worthless at times. I wanted to make something that, no matter what, does something bad to everyone it affects. Thus I got the Idea for The Plague of Truest Death. The Plague of Truest Death No one knows with certinty where this dread plague came from. Many believe a power-hungry Necromancer or a Wizard driven mad by the recless use of magic is the source of this Ritual. Some belive a Dark God seeking to corrupt the world placed it within the hands of mortals, but where it came from is not wht ruely matters. It is what it does. With the complesion of this Ritual four powerful monsters and the Plague are brought into existances. The effects of the Plague are the true power of these monsters. They merely act as its conduets. Even those who resists the affects of this plague may still carry it to those they surround themselves with. The Ritual To complete this Ritual the being performing it must know and be able to cast 7th level Divine and/or 7th level Arcane spells. For the competion of the Ritual three sacrifices, all of which must be living beings that leave behind a corpse, are needed. The race, age, or gender do not matter, though using sacrifices that can cast spells if recomended (see below). The restrictions on what sacrifises are to be used are that one must be dieing from a disiase of somekind, another must be dieing from a pioson of some kind, and the third must be dieing from the effects of a spell. What spell doesn't matter, but it must have a duration long enough to last through the Ritual and must be able to cause them death.
Blasphemous Revenant 10-30-05, 05:45 PM	Very cool idea, Zombomaniac. Bellatrix and the homunculi return from the dungeons. "Iz good az new," she says simply in her transylvanian accent (or the D&D equivalent). Immodicus bows. "If you will excuse me, we must take our leave of you for a time. There are places I must visit, and things on my mind that I must attend to." "Pleaze take care of little Parvula vhile ve are avay." "For the time being, Necro and the dogs are at your command. Farewell for now." Valde Immodicus walks from the halls, followed by Bellatrix and the homunculi.
Demonfey 10-30-05, 07:58 PM	Crowley enters the building I just realized what both this place and the GoUE are missing: both should be at least "a great and powerful malevolence" in how evil they are and surrounding it, or a darkness the world's never seen before. That should be a very interesting and fitting thing for us.
Wilds 10-30-05, 10:04 PM	"Hang them on posts outside on the perimeter? Disembolement? Dead corpes lying around, that tends to scare fleshys"
Demonfey 10-30-05, 10:57 PM	"Hang them on posts outside on the perimeter? Disembolement? Dead corpes lying around, that tends to scare fleshys" ...What are you talking about? That's not how you desecrate a place to the point that it the evil is ingrained into it. What we need to do is find, bring here, and kill a legendary hero. Especially sice they're easier to find than demigods. Easier to catch.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 10-30-05, 11:22 PM	...What are you talking about? That's not how you desecrate a place to the point that it the evil is ingrained into it.

Wilds 10-31-05, 12:09 AM	"O that for of evil. The evil that permeates everywhere. That drow preistess would work or some one else."
Demonfey 10-31-05, 12:39 AM	:confused: Once again, what the hell are you talking about? That has no relation at all to what I'm talking about.
Wilds 10-31-05, 12:44 AM	"Shes not legendary enough? true.... Who then? Im sure we can find some one and talk them into coming here. If only to slay them"
Demonfey 10-31-05, 01:01 AM	I'll figure it out. I've got a list somewhere...
Wilds 10-31-05, 12:50 PM	"I can help with any.... convining... that might be needed. It would make the trip back much calmer"
Ashariana 10-31-05, 05:38 PM	Ashariana smiles sweetly and looks across those in the room. She leans back and rolls her shoulders, resting her staff at her side. "The thing about a hero... is that there is always a temptation. Even the greatest hero has to have a fault... a humanity, a weakness. If they don't, then they aren't a hero, because they can never fail or die. I enjoy these faults of the hero... quite a bit."
Wilds 10-31-05, 05:42 PM	"Shall we find one for our selves then? This talk of flesh and bone bores me."
Demonfey 10-31-05, 05:44 PM	But kill one who has championed good to great extent in a sacrifice to a dark god, and you damn the land upon which they die, to the same extent that genocide would if you choose the right champion. You can even cut off clerics of good gods from some of their spells. Ironically, I would have damned the HEF if I had thought about it a little more when I slew Edradune, the fool. Unfortunately, heroes are rarer than demigods, although easier to kill.
Ashariana 11-01-05, 02:14 PM	But kill one who has championed good to great extent in a sacrifice to a dark god, and you damn the land upon which they die, to the same extent that genocide would if you choose the right champion. You can even cut off clerics of good gods from some of their spells. Ironically, I would have damned the HEF if I had thought about it a little more when I slew Edradune, the fool. Unfortunately, heroes are rarer than demigods, although easier to kill. Ashariana smiles and leans foreward, looking around the room and out the doors. "But where would one find such a man or woman today? Powerful champions of good are few, the hero has fled. These days the only thing left to battle are other who wish to take the world for their own. The Knights perhaps, but they sit in their Keep and do nothing for the people they have sworn to protect. As we do nothing now to take what we should from those who have looked upon us and claimed that we are evil and dark beings. Things that should be cast aside and struck down... we'll win of course. They cannot stand against us all..."
Demonfey 11-01-05, 02:22 PM	Well, as I've said, I have a list. I just don't remember where I put it right now...anyway, you are only partially correct about us. While we aren't on the march, we are increasing our number of strengths. For example, work on the defenses at the GoUE are getting better, although slowing down somewhat due to issues with the blueprints that are still being ironed out, and as you know, we are planning on bringing in kythons, hopefully even a slaymaster. The demonflesh golem is complete, and the drakestone golems, while still looking for a dealer for those, are going to happen. Sargatanas is finding things he can use to bolster his strength, and if we find something interesting and stronger than the elf puppet here *points at Drauguril* then chances are you can get a better thrall guardian.
Zombomaniac 11-01-05, 03:40 PM	what ever happened to grafting the thrall out? The attacks have past so it should be safe.
Demonfey 11-01-05, 03:42 PM	We all forgot.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 06:32 PM	"If a site is to become a great and marvelous evil, it must be done at the right time." Valde Immodicus comes striding into the Temple of the Damned. "I was listening in with a divination while I was away." "As I was saying, there is one day out of the year when the very substance of Evil fills the air. Our realm of reality briefly forms a border with several of the Evil outer planes, creating an aura of Evil and allowing monstrosities to step into our world. I believe this would be an optimal time to perform the ritual to bring upon a great and terrible malevolence to this place." "According to my calculations, this day will come to pass..." Immodicus does some quick estimates and calculations using an abacus, "...yesterday. Most unfortunate, it seems to have passed me by yet again! Oh well, it isn't very important to perform it on that precise date, perhaps I'll do something else next year...." While Immodicus is speaking, his group of homunculi slip into the building and to various rooms. Darn it, Halloween came and went right under my nose. I was hoping to do some kind of Haunted House or something at the Guild House, but I'm nowhere near ready with my creation.
Wilds 11-01-05, 06:42 PM	"There have to be other evil days such as the one you speak of"
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 06:57 PM	"There have to be other evil days such as the one you speak of" "I'm certain there are, but the most powerful and well-known was yesterday."
Wilds 11-01-05, 08:02 PM	"Look to the planes then. Once an alignement comes into play then we can defile this ground. Even if yesterday was the most capable day that does not mean that we should wait an entire year. We can do it again next year if we must to make it worse."
Demonfey 11-01-05, 08:05 PM	Worse than genocide and the death of a god of good?
Wilds 11-01-05, 08:45 PM	"No time of year. Yesterday was a time of union between the two worlds. We just need to find another suitable time to commit the act. Death of a god of good? That would be rather amazing and useful. Hmmm Demigods close enough?"
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 08:49 PM	Worse than genocide and the death of a god of good? "What is this talk of genocide and deicide? Are we immediately capable of such drastic measures? "Nevertheless, if an evil were committed on an evil day, it would be a greater evil than on a normal day. Genocide on the Day of Death would be more powerful than genocide on a regular old day. "However, I do not claim to know all on this subject. My study of the planes is certainly not complete. In the meantime, I shall be researching this topic so that we might better take advantage of it. "Is there any word of our enemies? They seem to be pretty quiet lately. I wonder what they're planning...."
Demonfey 11-01-05, 09:01 PM	No, those are just the things equal to killing a legendary hero of the light. I'm just saying that you can't get much worse than deicide.
Wilds 11-01-05, 09:15 PM	"True genocide of an entire race would be pretty evil."
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 09:18 PM	No, those are just the things equal to killing a legendary hero of the light. I'm just saying that you can't get much worse than deicide. "There are plenty of things worse than deicide, just as there are plenty of things worse than murder of a mortal. Many are beyond the comprehension of lesser beings, however."
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 09:19 PM	And that is why it would be an even more greater evil to strike on a day when the so called heroes would be rejoicing. It would shake thier belief in themselves and in thier capabilities. Li'ruak said, floating in.
Wilds 11-01-05, 09:27 PM	"I have seen things that would drive most mortals crazy. But they did not affect me *giggle* . I am totally *snicker* fine. Stupid darkness"
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 09:30 PM	And that is why it would be an even more greater evil to strike on a day when the so called heroes would be rejoicing. It would shake thier belief in themselves and in thier capabilities. Li'ruak said, floating in. "Very interesting thought, Li'ruak. A great evil committed on a holy day could possibly destroy the holy energy bound to that date. If it could be pulled off, although they would have an advantage from the blessing bestowed by the day. And I don't think it's ever been done."
Wilds 11-01-05, 09:34 PM	"So then, we need to capture an uberly holy being or demigod and then sacrifice said being on a holy day. Hmm any one know any holy days? Thats not really my area of specelty"
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 09:50 PM	"The next one I can think of is coming up several months from now."
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 09:54 PM	"So then, we need to capture an uberly holy being or demigod and then sacrifice said being on a holy day. Hmm any one know any holy days? Thats not really my area of specelty" The feast of Elhonna, celebrated by druids, fey, clerics of elhonna, elves, rangers, and anyone else having to do with the good, gentle side of nature. I suggest we start by lighting all of the forests across Tyrannor. Not only will that anger those foolish 'heroes' to the point that they cannot think correctly, but it will lessen the homes for the more dangerous forest inhabitents; grey renders, forest trolls, green dragons, and so on. Then if we strike at the farms, the food supply will be greatly reduced. They will be forced to make hard deicsions. Li'ruak said, settling into a chair, blasting away a tomb mote that decided to rest there first. I spent most of my summers playing risk and making up scenerois (sp?) with my friends. That, and I know where to look when finding decisive strategies for defeating morale. And it was a fairly common tactic in the world wars to burn the land as you retreated (in russia atleast) so the invading army would starve. Simply reverse the tactic if you wish to elliminate morale. Invade, destroy towns, farms, and communication leaving only the weakest as survivors, then retreat. The attacked will have to care for those that surivived with what little food they have left, leaving them open for attack. Place sleeper cells within that area to try and start rebellions, and boom, the nation collapses, leaving you took claim whatever they left behind and take the spoils of war.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 10:04 PM	I don't think the enemy is as deeply enrooted to require such drastic measures. From my viewpoint, all we would have to do is eliminate a few key persons and everything's ours. More spoils, less people ****** at you, much easier to do. May not be as overwhelming a threat, but it works. Besides, I would prefer spreading disease anyway.
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:05 PM	That works too. Infect a few random crops with a powerful disease, and the GoPG will be spending half of thier time casting cure disease. :D
Demonfey 11-01-05, 10:07 PM	But that also means that those of us needing to eat may have issues if it spreads out of control.
Wilds 11-01-05, 10:08 PM	uhh good thing Incarin doesnt have to eat.... Lol just a question, what happens if two characters controlled by one person end up fighting on opposite sides?
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:12 PM	That's why I only have a nuetral and an evil character currently in play. And Zerin has no need to involve himself with the war. But that's a good question....
Wilds 11-01-05, 10:14 PM	I have Incarin CN, Kelreth CN and Fang NE. Fang is a werewolf though and wouldnt take likely to the forests being burned down...
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:17 PM	Then we give him free riegn of any part of the forest he chooses. Or we tell him that if he helps, then we'll save a pair of villiages for him to feast on and create his own pack with. Anyone know how much gold Li'ruak would get for his victory? (just now remembered to ask...)
Wilds 11-01-05, 10:21 PM	Lol he would prolly help fight the GoPG.
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:27 PM	On the subject of food; the answer is simple. Buy a ring of sustenence. You will no long need to eat or drink. That, and you need half the sleep as normal (or meditation time for elves) But while we fight the GoPG, we'll also have to remember the balance of power. We'll have to prepare for something that may be more powerful than any of the members of the GoPG combined.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 10:29 PM	Burning crops would be totally unnecessary. We could use the food to create our own cities, from the IFWG rules. As such, we would have bigger armies, more gold from taxes, and simply the coolness of having entire metropolises under your control. If we want to devastate the GoPG, we need to develop a secret weapon, and one that won't cause so much destruction as to limit/harm ourselves.
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:31 PM	Aww, but I like burning stuff. Can Li'ruak atelast flay the members of the GoPG alive whiole they are over a portal to the heart of the elemental plane of fire?
Wilds 11-01-05, 10:33 PM	Anti-good magic user plague?
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 10:33 PM	Aww, but I like burning stuff. Can Li'ruak atelast flay the members of the GoPG alive whiole they are over a portal to the heart of the elemental plane of fire? I wouldn't mind... as long as you loot their bodies first. :schemes:
Blasphemous Revenant 11-01-05, 10:35 PM	Anti-good magic user plague? A disease that affected only good creatures would be interesting. Or we could develop the negative version of Positoxins.
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 10:46 PM	Negatoxins: Negatoxins are laced with negative energy, making them even more deadly. The negatoxin ability can be applied to any normal poison. In addition to the normal penalties, anyone who fails even one save takes 1 negative level. The negative level wears off when the poison does. ANyone reduced to 0 levels rises as a ghoul 1d4 days later. The poison looks slightly darker than normal, but otherwise is undetecatble to change. Just need a good price. ^_^
Wilds 11-01-05, 10:57 PM	Aww, but I like burning stuff. Can Li'ruak atelast flay the members of the GoPG alive whiole they are over a portal to the heart of the elemental plane of fire? hmmm the roasting goodness. all for it
Demonfey 11-01-05, 11:01 PM	Well, why not just storm the GoPG? They have no defenses, few active members, and no guards mentioned ever!
Wilds 11-01-05, 11:11 PM	Dont know why not, it would be rather amusing. They would all flip out
Master_of_Flames 11-01-05, 11:15 PM	Good idea. While Sargantas's forces do a mob rush, my forces will provide artillery support.
Demonfey 11-01-05, 11:28 PM	Wait, I just remembered the reason given: It wouldn't be fun.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-02-05, 12:17 AM	@Negatoxins: Very nicely done, Master_of_Flames. Wait, I just remembered the reason given: It wouldn't be fun. Well, we could have someone infiltrate their guild and cause a little havoc, more as a warning than anything else. If we demonstrate the consequences of weak defenses and show that we can cause damage, perhaps they'll take more seriously to preparations for war.
Demonfey 11-02-05, 12:31 AM	Already planning something.
Wilds 11-02-05, 09:59 AM	I do not see how rushing the GoPG locations wouldnt be amusing, but I can see that things could go extremely bad. Sil really likes anti-undead stuff now.
Wilds 11-02-05, 10:16 AM	Holy crap Gabrion pulled off some crazy $h!t with this one (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7652176&postcount=76) well that char cant fight at least cause otherwise that would be fricking scary

Of course he won't be approved as anyway. The really sad thing, and the part that I know will start up weaping and gnashing of teeth, is that he hasn't even cast Polymorph any Object on himself yet. Anyway, like it says, its a work in progress. :)
Wilds 11-02-05, 03:29 PM	ac of 46 and lowest save of +17 i think it doesnt matter if he doesnt fight. He aint gana die till his time is up.

Blasphemous Revenant 11-02-05, 11:12 PM	Is there any word on the layout of the Temple of the Damned? I would recommend a Chamber of the Unliving on at least the most important parts, which would work well for those of us that are Undead or Outsiders.
Wilds 11-02-05, 11:23 PM	What is a Chamber of the Unliving?
Blasphemous Revenant 11-02-05, 11:27 PM	What is a Chamber of the Unliving? Blocks living creatures, like an Antilife Shell. Only Outsiders, Undead, and Constructs would be able to go inside.
Wilds 11-02-05, 11:30 PM	no aberations?
Blasphemous Revenant 11-02-05, 11:38 PM	no aberations? No, only Constructs, Elementals, Outsiders, and Undead.
Wilds 11-03-05, 12:43 AM	O Have a fun time playing there then.
Demonfey 11-03-05, 12:48 AM	That means Crowley'd be able to go through twice over (outsider and elemental savant).
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-03-05, 12:44 PM	Glenn waves his hands and the blocks begin moving by themselves, old stones slide out and are replaced with new ones as the archway assembles itself as well. Glenn leans back and hums a tune as the things slowly build themselves up. Looking toward Sargatanas he nods. "So... how bout them Were-Tigers.. doin pretty well this season... yep..."
Wilds 11-03-05, 01:12 PM	Whispers to people around him "What is that person talking about?"
Demonfey 11-03-05, 01:55 PM	Whispers to Wilds Probably here to get paid, if he hasn't yet. Or to at least get some converation going.
Wilds 11-03-05, 02:20 PM	Whispers back. "I never realized the front door was broken down"
Demonfey 11-03-05, 02:58 PM	Whispers back. "I never realized the front door was broken down" Sargatanas is probably bolstering defenses and getting the place altered so that it's more evil looking. I mean, he's done great work, but there's only so much he can do to make a place look evil when it was originally built by someone else with a completely different view of what the place should look like.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-03-05, 05:02 PM	Valde eyes Glenn with some interest. "You are a creator of Constructs, correct? Tell me, how do you consider your creations in relation to organic creatures? Are they mere tools and weapons, or should they be afforded the same rights as living (and unliving) creatures? How about sentient Constructs?"
Blasphemous Revenant 11-03-05, 05:36 PM	@Wilds: We could just put Chamber of the Unliving on areas where we keep our undead minions and constructs, I wouldn't like to exclude anyone. Also, I might be able to create a spell (and subsequent stronghold enhancement) that allows you to customize what types can enter, and what types are excluded, but that might be going a bit overboard. Perhaps just Desecrate, Unhallow, and a few other Evil enhancements would work.
Wilds 11-03-05, 06:35 PM	I dont really mind if there is an undead only zone, just makes things more interesting for me. No the Chamber of InLife sounds good, it will keep the goodys out, nice place for a throne to uh? That way people have to keep a respectful distance from our leader. Or just mass storage for the undead army. We need desecrate anyway around this place. "True. Hmmm perhaps some bodies or adding spikes? Maybe some blood covered walls and hanging chains?"
thasis 11-03-05, 11:57 PM	When I get back from my choir retreat this weekand I'm hoping to post more hear and generally everywhere... If I can get the time on the computer that is. I'll see what I can do...
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-05-05, 03:28 PM	Valde eyes Glenn with some interest. "You are a creator of Constructs, correct? Tell me, how do you consider your creations in relation to organic creatures? Are they mere tools and weapons, or should they be afforded the same rights as living (and unliving) creatures? How about sentient Constructs?" "Yes." Glenn looks toward the man and smiles. He waves toward his Erinyes companion and grins. "You see, they are not alive, and more weapons than anything else. However, they do have that slight spark of life I suppose. The ability to become more with magic. A typical Effigy is a creature made to appear living, but it is not living. You always become attached to something you spend a lot of time with, but it still ain't living. Sentient constructs on the other hand, they are living beings. Though made of stone and wood rather than flesh and bone they know that they are alive, they know that they exist. They should have rights like any living being. Our 'professions' are quite similar. Though I don't torture the flesh and create unliving things out of the bodies of other people's loved ones, I make creatures that are under my direct control, they follow my orders. You make 'creatures' that are under your own control, but on the opposite end of the 'spectrum' I guess. My creatures were never alive, where your creature were."

All of my creations are a part of my family. Even the lowliest zombie is given respect, and their flesh is preserved, not 'tortured.' "Although the crafting of flesh is my specialty, I am also skilled at crafting constructs of wood and stone. Word has reached my ears of a race of constructs called Warforged, sentient creatures of metal and stone. While I have never encountered one, the thought of 'living' constructs intrigues me. My ultimate goal as a crafter of constructs is to create a sentient being that is as alive as any living creature, while being made of wood, stone, and metal."
turalisj 11-05-05, 07:36 PM	A large knocking is heard on the doorway. Seconds later, the door falls off of it's hinges, a large armored figure in the doorway. (and just to add to the dramatic effect) Rain starts to pour down as the figure enters.
Wilds 11-05-05, 10:53 PM	"I dont remember it raining...."
turalisj 11-05-05, 10:56 PM	A voice booms from above, "It's for dramatic effect, so go with it damnit!!" :D Been waiting to do that...
Zombomaniac 11-05-05, 11:07 PM	When its Dramatic it rains and it only rains when something dramatic is going to happen. This was proved in The Order of the Stick. :cool:
Wilds 11-05-05, 11:24 PM	"What the $$$$. Go away." Incarins says looking up
Blasphemous Revenant 11-05-05, 11:46 PM	Valde shifts his attention to the newcomer. He is not at all started by the 'dramatic effect.' "Welcome to our desecrated halls. I expect our leader shall greet you shortly. If I might ask what your business is with the Temple of the Damned?" His expression is blank and his tone neutral.
Sargatanas 11-06-05, 01:23 PM	A large knocking is heard on the doorway. Seconds later, the door falls off of it's hinges, a large armored figure in the doorway. (and just to add to the dramatic effect) Rain starts to pour down as the figure enters. "Yeah.... who the hell do you think you are? You don't just come here and knock down my doors. You will be replacing that or I'll make ya a walkin corpse. Now who are ya and what are you doin here?" Whats the info on this chamber of unliving?
Blasphemous Revenant 11-06-05, 01:38 PM	Chamber of the Unliving: Blocks living creatures, as an antilife shell. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead are unaffected. All other creatures cannot enter the space, no saving throw. Price 33,000 gp per Stronghold Space.
Wilds 11-06-05, 03:16 PM	"Hehe, dont think about leaving just yet either." A large shadow drops behind the person in the doorway, it pushes him into the room. Then sits back and watchs.
turalisj 11-06-05, 04:23 PM	The figure doesn't move, perhaps because it is wearing over a hundred pounds in battle armor. It reaches for the door, then props it up by it's hinges. The figure goes and sits down, the chair nearly splintering under the weight. I am Ghal-lan-ka, or Galan in your common tongue. Samuria of shadows and stone. I heard from a source you accept those outcast by society. I wish to join your tribe. The figure said, removing his helmet. A middle aged goliath head shown from under the helmet. And sorry for your door. Sometimes my strength gets the better of me.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 11-06-05, 06:12 PM	Nemesis clings to the shadows, his eyes darting to the newcomer, he steps out of the darkness, extending his gauntleted hand , only to have his sickle flip into place ( like Bloodrayne's blades) "Galan, is it,...why are you here?"
Demonfey 11-06-05, 08:36 PM	:( It's here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7687902&postcount=221)
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 11-06-05, 08:46 PM	:( It's here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7687902&postcount=221) we shall all miss you, honored friend
Wilds 11-06-05, 09:04 PM	Hope to see you again soon Thasis.
Zombomaniac 11-06-05, 09:08 PM	:( Good Luck in the furure and may you walk with the blessings and best wishes of all those you know. We look forward to your return.
Ashariana 11-07-05, 12:34 PM	Ashariana smiles sweetly at the goliath. She stands from the edge of the throne and stretches her arms behind her back before taking up her staff and leaning on it. "Welcome to the temple of the damned Galan. I do hope you will serve faithfully and be dedicated to our cause. Don't mind the kobold he'll put away his weapon soon or I'm going to let Valde's daughter play with him. So gentlemen, what do you boys think? What should our path be now?" poor thasis...
Blasphemous Revenant 11-07-05, 01:52 PM	"Well, I do not believe we have finished outfitting the building to suit our own needs. I think we should fortify our defenses and base of operations before concerning ourselves too much with other matters."
Wilds 11-07-05, 02:02 PM	"Times have changed, I beleive that it would be best to fortify the temple. For defense and awe. Not to mention that elf..."
Blasphemous Revenant 11-07-05, 02:06 PM	And perhaps Sargatanas could update the Library of the Damned when he gets the chance. Several people have posted up creations.
Demonfey 11-07-05, 04:30 PM	Anyone who cares to join in the little dedication that I could think of on short notice is welcome.
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 11-07-05, 08:33 PM	"Times have changed, I beleive that it would be best to fortify the temple. For defense and awe. Not to mention that elf..." Nemesis lets his blade fall back into place as he steps beside Ashariana: "Yes, it is time"
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-08-05, 01:11 PM	As the final block slides into place Glenn glances toward Incarin and smiles. "You might want to move closer to the ground." As he says this the room flashes and the blocks form a type of symbol on the wall in glowing green light. Incarin and any other incoporeal beings suddenly find themselves fully coporeal and falling toward the ground. "Yep, good to know it works. So, I'll have them effigies to ya as soon as I can." Glenn hums a tune as he turns and walks out of the building.
Wilds 11-08-05, 01:16 PM	Incarin lands with a crash. "Son of a .... well good job at least. Just dont do that ever again." He stands up and looks at his hands, fully corporal again. "Havent seen them this real in two centuries. Amazing, but flesh has its weakness. Hmm need to find some food"
Demonfey 11-08-05, 01:31 PM	Cool! Where can I get one?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-08-05, 01:37 PM	Cool! Where can I get one? Glenn calls back into the room as he walks away. "Glenn's mechana in the Merchant's Guild!"
Demonfey 11-08-05, 01:43 PM	Great! Come over to the GoUE and we can discuss a price!
VampiricBloodlustNemesis 11-08-05, 04:45 PM	DAMN YOU ALL
Demonfey 11-08-05, 04:54 PM	DAMN YOU ALL :confused: What the hell was that about?
Wilds 11-08-05, 05:51 PM	its the trade mark of an egotistical person whos every whim does not get served to his fullest expectations: aka a weak little person
Demonfey 11-08-05, 05:55 PM	I just stopped paying attention to him, personally.
Wilds 11-08-05, 05:58 PM	i tried but the all caps and constiant incoherent and random posts irritiated me. I have random incoherent posts, but normally have some thing to say. Not just BUILD ME A LEVEL 50TH ASSASSIN
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 06:12 PM	I just stopped paying attention to him, personally. i refuse to talk to him irl, and not to be rude but he's become a sniveling little.....well we all know.....
Demonfey 11-08-05, 06:21 PM	Okay. And we should stop this before we get into trouble about it.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 06:38 PM	Okay. And we should stop this before we get into trouble about it. i agree let no more words be spoken on the subject
Wilds 11-08-05, 06:52 PM	agreed Demonfey my GoVE char is done. I wouldnt suggest even reading it if you are feeling slighty sane at all. Its frikcing ridiculous http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7595377&postcount=75

Demonfey 11-08-05, 07:14 PM	Well, I see no problems, so you're approved. Just a quick question: sure you don't want the leadership feat for an army? Also, you're now the head of our scouts at the GoUE.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 07:30 PM	what can i do?
Demonfey 11-08-05, 07:35 PM	Nearly had you be the head of the priest branch, but decided that would be a bad idea (ur priests and priests don't mix), so I'm waiting until you finish the character.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 07:48 PM	Nearly had you be the head of the priest branch, but decided that would be a bad idea (ur priests and priests don't mix), so I'm waiting until you finish the character. what stats do i need (withouth all the feats and such, maybe i can just slap together his: race/class HP AC Init for now? is that ok?
Wilds 11-08-05, 07:53 PM	REally? Hmm switch out faster healing and imp int for leadership and might makes right. fun times
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 07:59 PM	REally? Hmm switch out faster healing and imp int for leadership and might makes right. fun times hmm? are you talking to me?
Wilds 11-08-05, 08:09 PM	o sorry, demonfey, he was talking about taking leadership and i realized my score could get realllyyy high. 42 str WOOT
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-08-05, 08:10 PM	cool
Demonfey 11-08-05, 10:48 PM	what stats do i need (withouth all the feats and such, maybe i can just slap together his: race/class HP AC Init for now? is that ok? Just a basic enough outline. You also now lead your own place. That reminds me,you might want to make a description of your guildhouse. Now, for something IC: There is a knocking at your door, and when you open it, an imp flies in with a message in its hands and carries it to Sargatanas and Ashariana. It reads: "I wish to talk to you both about the status of our guilds, and maybe form something stronger than a simple alliance. If interested, come to the GoUE. ~Crowley~"

Wilds 11-09-05, 05:14 PM	this is getting to be a noiscence -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy Eyes Vivomancy/Vibrant/Vegemite Level: Cleric ? Components: V,S,F Casting Time: ? Range: ? Effect: ? Target: ? Duration: ? Saving Throw: ? Spell Resistance: Yes The Cleric opens a channel to the Positive Energy Plane, resulting in an influx of silver-blue, vibrant starfire. She directs this power into her skull, where, by Divine Inspiration, she focuses the energy into the brain, modifying sensory structures and fortifying existent brain structures. Onlookers suddenly see the eyes of the cleric alter; they become swirling constellations of stars, widening and changing size. There are two effects of this spell. First, with her Holy Sight, she can automatically sense all alignments in the creatures around her and all forms of both negative and positive energy sources within range of the spell. To the viewer, these energy sources are like visible, swirling vortices, crackling with power. All living beings shine with silver-blue starfire and all undeads or creatures animated with negative energy become shining, black targets. The second effect allows the cleric to strike her target with Holy Positive Energy (for Undeads), which does 1d6 per caster level (maximum to be determined, pending spell level of Positive Energy damage) and 1d6 per caster level (maximum to be determined, pending spell level) of Holy damage. In addition to this, the Undead must make a Will Save (DC=pending) or be destroyed. If the Cleric chooses to strike a living being, she may sacrifice the Positive Energy function and strike Evil creatures with Holy Fire, doing 1d6 damage per level of the caster (maximum to be determined) Will Save halves.
Demonfey 11-09-05, 05:33 PM	Yes, but since they all target Sargatanas for the most part, we are free to act.
Wilds 11-09-05, 05:48 PM	preemptive strike?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 05:49 PM	If things don't pick up, and jagggar/active GM allows it, then yes. Begin statting out your scouts, Wilds.
Wilds 11-09-05, 05:51 PM	wiat from the guild? or my followers?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 05:53 PM	Your followers. I'm planning on initial skirmish to bring out some action. After all, what would be the fun in killing them off so early?
Wilds 11-09-05, 06:02 PM	ok uhhh i have a follower leadership score of 31 so i consult the epic for that amount of cohorts or do the math shown in the DMG?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:13 PM	I'd say do the math, simply since we don't want to involve the Epic stuff yet.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 06:19 PM	I don't believe it is possible for a person to have a Leadership score above 25 without taking Epic Leadership. From what I understand, that's what Epic Leadership is for. Normal: The Leadership feat provides no benefit for leadership scores beyond 25.
Wilds 11-09-05, 06:23 PM	So no followers above level 6.... 1st: 390 2nd:38 3rd:20 4th:12 5th:6 6th:6 and a 10th lev cohort
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 06:23 PM	If things don't pick up, and jagggar/active GM allows it, then yes. Begin statting out your scouts, Wilds. who are we attacking?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:28 PM	GoPG, after we get someone actually there and I get go approve a few of our enemies. Also, Wilds, that may be just a little smaller than the size of Sargatanas's army.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 06:30 PM	So no followers above level 6.... 1st: 390 2nd:38 3rd:20 4th:12 5th:6 6th:6 and a 10th lev cohort Actually, you would get the same as though your score was 25. So: 1st: 135 2nd: 13 3rd: 7 4th: 4 5th: 2 6th: 2 Until you reach Epic levels, pretty much all you can do is prepare for that high score, and once you reach LV 21, BAM! Your force would more than double. EDIT: And wouldn't you have an ECL 13 cohort?
Wilds 11-09-05, 06:31 PM	i would only get that many people...........how can i increase that
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:32 PM	That's still a good sized force. By the way, Revenant, could you help me figure out the guild leadership if I post it?
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 06:35 PM	That's still a good sized force. By the way, Revenant, could you help me figure out the guild leadership if I post it? could someone import their leadership for my guild since i have no "official" stats?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:36 PM	i would only get that many people...........how can i increase that That's still 164 people, so that's still impressive. Most people don't get that many.
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:36 PM	could someone import their leadership for my guild since i have no "official" stats? I'll find the post with how it works, and link it in the GoUE: I
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 06:37 PM	i would only get that many people...........how can i increase that Unless I am in error, yes, you would receive a rather meager amount for the moment. I believe there is an Extra Followers feat, but I don't know the specifics. And once you reach Epic Level (21st), you can take Epic Leadership, which would increase it dramatically. EDIT: Also, check out the Legendary Commander epic feat. If you could meet its prerequisites, you would have a HUGE army, especially considering how high your Leadership score would be by then.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 06:39 PM	I'll find the post with how it works, and link it in the GoUE: I or just post it in my thread thank you DF
Demonfey 11-09-05, 06:46 PM	It's posted. Also putting a copy here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=5996199)
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 07:12 PM	I could use some suggestions for equipment for my character. I think I've finished everything else, just need to purchase equipment and stat out my minions (leadership, Rebuke Undead, and the like). What do you guys think?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 07:24 PM	Headband of intellect, +2 unholy mace, wands of stuff, that twilight mithral chain shirt (0% arcane failure)
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 07:28 PM	I'm already planning on getting a Ring of Enlightenment (same as Headband of Intellect, but frees up the slot for a Phylactery of Undead Rebuking). The mace would probably have to be Skillful, or I would be a terrible fighter with it. I can't find any wands that would be good. Do you have any ideas? All my favorite spells are higher-level, meaning they'd have to be made into staffs. I don't have the specifics for Twilight armor, unfortunately.
Wilds 11-09-05, 07:32 PM	Theres no way my character can qualify for that feat by 21st level. i would have everything but the CHA 25, He has a charisma of 8
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 07:38 PM	Theres no way my character can qualify for that feat by 21st level. i would have everything but the CHA 25, He has a charisma of 8 It wouldn't be possible before LV 27 with the requirement of 30 ranks in Diplomacy.

Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 07:42 PM	I posted them somewhere in this guild. BOED is the sourcebook. Also, wands of fireball, while not always a favorite, are damn useful in combat. I'll get the wand, especially since I no longer have evocation prohibitied (I decided to be a regular wizard, rather than specialize).
Demonfey 11-09-05, 08:02 PM	Figured you would. I don't like the idea of limiting my spells, personally.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 08:11 PM	What do you think of my Staff of Pestilence? (In my signature)
Demonfey 11-09-05, 08:30 PM	Could work, if you get it approved.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 09:31 PM	im so lost right now i need a character.
Demonfey 11-09-05, 09:40 PM	Revenant wanted help with item ideas.
Blasphemous Revenant 11-09-05, 09:42 PM	I've got a few items picked out, but I think I'll save the rest for constructs and for emergency. Might get a few minor items here and there, but for the most part I think I'm done. My main character should be completely finished shortly.
Demonfey 11-09-05, 09:46 PM	Great.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 10:26 PM	if i use that kobold?
Demonfey 11-09-05, 10:28 PM	Probably. There may be some issues, but as an avatar for yourself, go ahead.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-09-05, 10:32 PM	Probably. There may be some issues, but as an avatar for yourself, go ahead. alrighty

gabrion 11-10-05, 01:19 AM	From your discussion of leadership, I thought of a few things... 1) The extra followers feat from Heroes of Battle doubles the number of followers you have (requires the leadership feat and a CHA score of 13). 2) Every guild gets Epic Leadership for determining followers, so if you want a character to put his high leadership score to good use, make him guild leader.
Demonfey 11-10-05, 01:22 AM	You really want me to step down so soon? Also, there is no guarantee that his feats will carry over to being master of a guild.
gabrion 11-10-05, 02:00 AM	You really want me to step down so soon? Also, there is no guarantee that his feats will carry over to being master of a guild. I was refering to the fact that every guild has a leadership score to begin with, and it is determined in part by the leader of the guild's CHA, so even if you have someone like you actually running the guild, having the character with the highest CHA as a nominal leader is a good way to get more followers.
Demonfey 11-10-05, 02:20 AM	And I was kidding.
gabrion 11-10-05, 02:58 AM	And I was kidding. I figured you were kidding about the first part, but I thought the second line was a real question. I hate it when I miss a joke on these boards though....it makes me feel foolish. :blush:
Wilds 11-10-05, 10:20 AM	dont feel foolish it is impossible to tell the difference between a joke and a normal statement on boards
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-10-05, 03:44 PM	dont feel foolish it is impossible to tell the difference between a joke and a normal statement on boards true
Demonfey 11-10-05, 03:52 PM	Yeah, it really is hard when you're not face to face with people. How much do you want to bet we accidentally destroy the GoPG?
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-10-05, 03:53 PM	Yeah, it really is hard when you're not face to face with people. How much do you want to bet we accidentally destroy the GoPG? an...accident....ah....call it what you wish,lol
Demonfey 11-10-05, 04:10 PM	Yes, accidentally. I want a good fight, dammit!

Blasphemous Revenant 11-10-05, 07:25 PM	Has anyone seen Sargatanas or Ashariana? Our two leaders seem to be rather absent lately.
Demonfey 11-10-05, 07:27 PM	Haven't seen either of them in a while. Maybe they got bored with this place for right now? I mean, it is rather quiet. Similar to last year, actually. It quieted down a lot during the school year, and revived a bit sometimes on weekends. Have you PMed either of them lately?
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-10-05, 08:20 PM	Has anyone seen Sargatanas or Ashariana? Our two leaders seem to be rather absent lately. she was around the other afternoon last i remember
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-11-05, 09:39 AM	Has anyone seen Sargatanas or Ashariana? Our two leaders seem to be rather absent lately. Orcy has heard that Sargatanas has been having problems with his wireless. He believes he mentioned something about it during conversation about the defenses being build for this temple.
Ashariana 11-11-05, 10:53 AM	I'm still around... just been a little uhm... addicted to WoW. I'll see what I can do about getting Sargatanas online, his wireless has been down for quite a while now... Ashariana slides into her brother's throne while he is away. Resting herself against the back of the dark throne she smiles sweetly at those around her. She rests her staff against the side of the throne and sighs. "Well... I think the guild's defenses are getting their final touch ups. There should be some more... things... being delivered soon as well. I've been a bit curious... what is it that has driven you all to us? What drove you out and made you feel outcast? I wanna hear a few of your backgrounds... where you come from. If it isn't too much of a sore spot."
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-11-05, 12:14 PM	Priest smiles from beneath his hood, his eyes raising to meet those of Ashriana. " I am a wanderer, I always have been, my hatred for the gods and their followers is what motivates me, I've established an outpost of the GoUE and it seems to be doing quite well."
Sargatanas 11-11-05, 04:42 PM	Sargatanas emerges from behind the throne and stands beside his sister looking toward the others. He stretches and many joints crack as he does. Sargatanas places an arm atop the back of the throne and sighs. "Well gentlemen, I'm sorry for my slight absence, I've been working on a few plans. The temple is almost complete in it's construction and it's forces gather. Soon our expansion shall begin and we will fall upon this land like a tidal wave. All shall be swept under our fury. Tell me, are there any matters that have arisen while I have been... detained?" Sorry everyone, the wireless here just suddenly died on me and I haven't been able to get on that often. Hope things change with that soon.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-11-05, 05:53 PM	im working on getting 2 Impalers and a Slaymaster as effigies to help us in the war.
Demonfey 11-11-05, 08:23 PM	Sargatanas emerges from behind the throne and stands beside his sister looking toward the others. He stretches and many joints crack as he does. Sargatanas places an arm atop the back of the throne and sighs. "Well gentlemen, I'm sorry for my slight absence, I've been working on a few plans.

Tell me, are there any matters that have arisen while I have been... detained?" Sorry everyone, the wireless here just suddenly died on me and I haven't been able to get on that often. Hope things change with that soon. Thasis has been forced to leave for reasons his own. I am currently running the GoUE. We also have dibs on the GoPG, at least to stir up some resistance in them. After all, it leaves something to be desired when you take a guild without any real resistance, right, Sargatanas?
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-11-05, 08:54 PM	it's futile...they'll never hold out against us all
Sargatanas 11-12-05, 12:48 AM	Sargatanas laughs and motions for his sister to remove herself from his seat. Resting in the throne when she has cleared it. "Oh, I don't know, so much funding comes from such an easy victory. But I'm sure you'd like some real fighting. But I must agree with this strange creature that suddenly appeared in my halls. Which brings me to my next point. I am a cleric, I follow Afflux the Bloodspiller. It would be unwise to insult gods and their 'followers' in my pressance, unless you do not enjoy your life."
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-12-05, 12:51 AM	where can i find info on him?
Demonfey 11-12-05, 01:31 AM	Sargatanas laughs and motions for his sister to remove herself from his seat. Resting in the throne when she has cleared it. "Oh, I don't know, so much funding comes from such an easy victory. But I'm sure you'd like some real fighting. But I must agree with this strange creature that suddenly appeared in my halls. Which brings me to my next point. I am a cleric, I follow Afflux the Bloodspiller. It would be unwise to insult gods and their 'followers' in my pressance, unless you do not enjoy your life." Now, now, Sargatanas. There are still enough good guys to smite around here, somewhere. Channel your anger at them. @Sargatanas: I'm currently deciding where to place the GoUE, and Revenant and myself were also talking about good things to have under the Temple's control. Want me to PM you the stuff?
Wilds 11-12-05, 12:04 PM	"Yes lets kill the good guys first. They seem more than willing to sacrafice them selves for a cause than most." Incarins still newly solidified form amusing him. He beats it on a wall to see what it feels like. "Oo... Havent felt that in a while."
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-12-05, 12:22 PM	Priest runs mockingly into the wall imitating Incarin, then he drops to the floor convulding with laughter
Zombomaniac 11-12-05, 12:29 PM	"When are we going to kill?" I think I may finnaly have what I want for Hirohito's personality. :)
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-12-05, 12:45 PM	"When are we going to kill?" I think I may finnaly have what I want for Hirohito's personality. :) soon my friend, soon
Wilds 11-12-05, 03:50 PM	"Ha ha......"
Demonfey 11-12-05, 03:52 PM	Incarin, can you check something? Try the door, and see if you become incorporeal by exiting the affected area.
Demonfey 11-14-05, 02:00 PM	Apparently, after taking down the guards, you inherited the Jungle and Barren Dunes. It's mentioned here (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7246615&postcount=18)
Wilds 11-14-05, 03:11 PM	Incarin nods and walks over to the door. He opens it and walks out.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 03:23 PM	DF, what is this "door" and where does it lead?
Wilds 11-14-05, 03:33 PM	to see whether or not the anti-incorporeal affect extends outside of the walls.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 03:39 PM	to see whether or not the anti-incorporeal affect extends outside of the walls. sorry i didnt even know we had it, wow...thats kinda cool actually, so what do you think of me bringing in that Dwarf Blacktooth Dire Werewolverine Ranger 10? I got him outta the new Dungeon magazine, and they're absolutely amazing, i was thinking of using him as an NPC or somesuch
Wilds 11-14-05, 05:33 PM	uhhh NPCs are controlled by the DM. so that cant happen. and how is a lev 10 dire werewolverine only ECL 15?
Demonfey 11-14-05, 05:34 PM	The Wizard did it, that's how.
Wilds 11-14-05, 05:39 PM	oooo forgot about them :coolcthul
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 05:56 PM	uhhh NPCs are controlled by the DM. so that cant happen. and how is a lev 10 dire werewolverine only ECL 15? oops i meant CR 15 but is there anyway a DM would bring him in? or allow me to run both?
Wilds 11-14-05, 06:01 PM	CR 15? no a DM would not allow you to run that most likely. CR 15 most likely means higher ECL. Which is not legal for a player to have. I dont think we need NPCs at the moment unless they are causing war of course :D
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 06:06 PM	thats what i wanted him to do, spark a war.....
Wilds 11-14-05, 06:09 PM	in htat case talk to the DMs about getting the character into the GW
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 06:18 PM	in htat case talk to the DMs about getting the character into the GW who would you reccomend i talk to?
Demonfey 11-14-05, 06:24 PM	Put it on the IFWG thread. One of them'll probably pick it up and get back to you on it.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-14-05, 06:45 PM	Put it on the IFWG thread. One of them'll probably pick it up and get back to you on it. thanks friend, will do
Ashariana 11-15-05, 04:16 PM	Ashariana slides out of her brothers chair and stands. She stretches her arms behind her and bends low to pick up her staff. She stands and winks at the men in the room before walking slowly out the door. "Ta ta boys, I'll be back some time later. I have business to attend to at the Stormhand federation. We have to prepare too you know. Take care now, try not to run into any walls." I'll feild this one. When Incarin opens the door he finds that he is still coporeal for a ways. If he keeps walking he'll find that he can turn back to normal after a while. I'm not really sure about the uhm... distances... because Sargatanas hasn't finished the map yet.
Demonfey 11-15-05, 04:19 PM	Thanks. Just seemed like something for the incorporeal being to check on.
Sargatanas 11-15-05, 04:53 PM	What she said, and I've come up with a deliciously evil idea that I've pitched to Jagggar. If it goes through, then I'm going to have lots... and lots... of fun.
Demonfey 11-15-05, 04:55 PM	Yes, definitely getting the effigy guild now...I have a feeling I don't want to be on land when you implement this plan of yours.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-15-05, 05:20 PM	48,000 gp, which i can pay for myself DF, so its all good
Wilds 11-15-05, 06:35 PM	"This is rather aggervating. I have other business to attend too." He climbs on top of Onyx and fly to the Federation
Blasphemous Revenant 11-16-05, 09:45 PM	Sorry for my absence. I shall appear at the FAIGGC shortly.
Sargatanas 11-17-05, 01:17 AM	Sargatanas walks to a block centered in the throne room that rests beside a hole in the ground. He takes up the block and slides it over the hole, keeping it in place just above it. "Alright folks, time for the first unveiling. Now... for your viewing pleasure..." Sargatanas drops the block into place, suddenly a cloud of darkness errupts from the center of the room, spreading out and on across the countryside. It continues outward for a while until stopping a distance from the walls. All those of evil alignment suddenly adjust and can see as though the area were now covered in a dim illumination. "Let there be darkness!" This is a darkness that cannot be dispelled by any light effects. Good creatures cannot see in it, evil creatures see as though in dim illumniation. So, in other words, good creatures are now blind around the Temple and a cloud of darkness rests over the land for 1500ft from the center of the Temple.
Demonfey 11-17-05, 01:22 AM	What about neutrals?
Sargatanas 11-17-05, 01:24 AM	What about neutrals? Can't see, just like the goodies.
Demonfey 11-17-05, 01:31 AM	So...everything within that radius must be evil/have some ability to see in supernatural darkness or be blind. Even any resource facility workers, a guild's main money making source.
Sargatanas 11-17-05, 02:14 AM	So...everything within that radius must be evil/have some ability to see in supernatural darkness or be blind. Even any resource facility workers, a guild's main money making source. Oh ye of little faith, do you really think I have not thought this through?
Sargatanas 11-17-05, 03:11 AM	Rough ideas about my latest project that I intend to put into use. Still need ta work on the prices, but I like it... I like it a lot. Exactly what I need... buahahaha... AHAHAHAHAHAH! The Plague of the Damned This is a plague created using fell magics from long forgotten sources. It is designed to convert living creatures into something else. Wether that be a twisted version of a living creature, a living corpse, or some sort of fell beast. The process has three distinct versions. One corrupts the body of the creature that is affected, the second targets the mind, the third and most extreme version of the plague corrupts the soul itself. To be spread, special 'plague generators' must be constructed and placed in the land that it will be used on. When built, each generator comes with a activation rod. The holder of this rod is immune to the plagues effects, and all creatures corrupted by the plague treat him/her as friendly. A plague generator's three different types have different effects as would be expected. The Body causes 1d4 con damage each night a creature spends within the plagues area until it is reduced to 0 con and rises as an undead creature, the type is determined randomly on the following table. 1-20 Zombie 21-40 Skeleton 41-55 Ghoul 56-65 Wight 66-70 Wraith 71-80 Gravetouched Ghoul 81-85 Ghost 86-90 Half Vampire 91-98 Spectre 99 Quth-Maren 100 Hulking Corpse The effect upon the mind of the creature results in something somwhat different than the complete remake of the creature's body. Each day within the area of a generator pumping this type of plague causes 1d4 int damage. When the creature reaches 0 intelligence there are a few different things that can happen, determined on the table below. 1-40 He or she becomes a mindless creature in the service of the holder of the rod. 41-90 He or she gains 1 int per day spent in the area of the plague generator, but has an alignment change to the evil version of his/her current alignment (ex LG would become LE). 91-100 He or she goes completely insane and begins to mutilate him/herself. Effectively gaining the 'plague crazed creature' template. The final version of the plague is the most dangerous. This effects the very soul of those within it's radius. The radius is smaller than those of the previous versions, but it is a powerful tool of corruption. Each day spent within the area of this generator causes a loss of 1 level. This loss cannot be replaced until the creature leaves the area of the plague. When the creature's level reaches 0, it dies and it's soul is reborn as a twisted version of it's former self, determined by the following table. 1-30 Half Fiend 31-50 Succubus/Incubus or Hellcat 51-70 Babu or Chain Devil 71-85 Maurezhi 86-95 Visage 96-100 Blue Slaad The first two types of plague spread from their generators at a rate of one mile per day. The maximum distance the plague can spread is 1 mile per level of the holder of the rod. In turn, the rod saps the bodily energies of the creature holding it to power the generator each day. Effectively draining 2hp/mile each day (day 1 would drain 2hp, day 2 would drain another 2 making the total 4HP). Once the plague has stopped spreading it needs only 2 hp a day to keep it running, this HP cannot be healed by magical means until the generator has stopped expanding, then only the 2 HP required to keep the generator running cannot be healed. The Third type of generator requires a different type of energy source. It expands at a rate of 1 mile per two days, and can only spread up to 1 mile per two levels of the rod holder. To power this generator, the rod holder must sacrifice some of his own soul, spending 2xp per day to maintain the generator's power while it expands. When the expansion is finished the rod holder must sacrifice 2 xp a week to power the generator, or as an alternative, sacrifice a living creature to power the generator for 1 week per 2 levels of the sacrifice. Plague Crazed Creature: For all purposes the creature is the same as it was before, gaining the following. Str +6, Dex +2, Con +4, Int (becomes 6), cha -8 (minimum of 1) Never ending craze: A Plauge Crazed Creature never needs to rest. He/she never suffers the effects of fatigue or exhaustion. He/she only needs to eat once a week, and suffers no ill effects up until this time has passed. The Craze: The Plague Crazed Creature constantly seeks activity, typically violent. A plague crazed creature can be put to work and will continue to do so until he/she dies or is 'encouraged' to do something else (typically by the rod holder).
Sargatanas 11-17-05, 11:07 PM	I would like to announce that the Temple of the Damned is now... FULLY OPPERATIONAL! The statistics are posted and ahm ready to get a goin. I'll have my troops posted soon as well (along with the guild troops). Once the generators are priced, I may even have some of those prepared... just in case... On a side note, Glenn now has enough money to invent paper money then use that paper money to light a cigar... made with paper money.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-17-05, 11:15 PM	I would like to announce that the Temple of the Damned is now... FULLY OPPERATIONAL! The statistics are posted and ahm ready to get a goin.

Dyne 11-17-05, 11:22 PM	* :drool: 's over such incredible power* Well, I'm glad you're at least my ally.
Master_of_Flames 11-17-05, 11:34 PM	:twitch: sooo anything that isn't the holder of the rod turns to a plague creature? sounds waay too powerful. But the final one seems something that any evil creature would want to be around.
Zombomaniac 11-18-05, 12:57 AM	Would Outsiders be immune to the body one since they cant be raised. And would outsiders also be immune to the soul one since they may already be one of those creatures. :confused:
Demonfey 11-18-05, 12:54 PM	On a side note, Glenn now has enough money to invent paper money then use that paper money to light a cigar... made with paper money. Each one a hundred, too...
Blasphemous Revenant 11-19-05, 02:45 PM	Very nice additions, Sargatanas. I look forward to seeing them in action. But, with all the gold we've been pumping into Glenn's coffers, isn't there at least a slight chance he could overpower us? Not that he would have any motive, currently, but he is emerging as quite an important figure.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-19-05, 03:01 PM	About those scrolls...I would like to buy them.
Demonfey 11-19-05, 04:48 PM	You could use modified plague spewers as the delivery system, having them use that instead of the normal plague they carry, and have the rats be incubators for the plague.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-19-05, 04:56 PM	You could use modified plague spewers as the delivery system, having them use that instead of the normal plague they carry, and have the rats be incubators for the plague. excellent idea, DF
Sargatanas 11-19-05, 05:43 PM	You could use modified plague spewers as the delivery system, having them use that instead of the normal plague they carry, and have the rats be incubators for the plague. Yes... but then it would be too much like resident evil. Been trying to stay as far away from that as possible. Curse them and their undead games that completely screw over my originality!
Demonfey 11-19-05, 05:47 PM	Point, although the fact that it would be huge and sentient, instead of mindless, would probably count for a bit.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-19-05, 05:50 PM	Point, although the fact that it would be huge and sentient, instead of mindless, would probably count for a bit. agreed
Zombomaniac 11-19-05, 08:47 PM	Very nice additions, Sargatanas. I look forward to seeing them in action. But, with all the gold we've been pumping into Glenn's coffers, isn't there at least a slight chance he could overpower us? Not that he would have any motive, currently, but he is emerging as quite an important figure. Glenn is neutral. He is only here for his own gain really. As long as we dont attack him we shouldent have anything to worry about.
Zombomaniac 11-20-05, 04:15 PM	Sooooo........ When are you going to kill another guild? I suggest the GoPG since they have been the more troubling and are weaker than the Kinghts. That way we will have more men to fight the Knights. :)
Demonfey 11-20-05, 06:59 PM	The GoPG and the GoUE have to face each other first (simply because of what they are)
Zombomaniac 11-20-05, 07:11 PM	The GoPG and the GoUE have to face each other first (simply because of what they are) Then lets get a move on, ma man. I got plans of my own that involve the GoPG dieing. :)
Wilds 11-20-05, 07:27 PM	I think all of our plans involve the GoPG dieing
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-20-05, 07:30 PM	Then lets get a move on, ma man. I got plans of my own that involve the GoPG dieing. :) I have plans too...let's get this done.
Sargatanas 11-21-05, 01:17 AM	I can't do much if mass combat rules are still being re-written. I'm also STILL waiting on Jagggar to tell me how much gold I got from taking over the royal guard, its pretty rediculous that I'm still waitin after all this time. When the time comes... we'll do what we have to. As soon as the rules modifications are finished though... oh I intend to have some fun.
Sargatanas 11-21-05, 01:42 AM	Plauge Generators Plague Generator (type 1): This Gnerator sends forth a version of the Plague of the Damned that effects the body.

Moderate Necromancy; CL 12; Craft Wondrous Item, Remove Disease, Spell Immunity; Price: 50,000gp Made an attempt at pricin some of these things, don't know how well I did but gimme some thoughts.
Demonfey 11-21-05, 11:30 AM	Then lets get a move on, ma man. I got plans of my own that involve the GoPG dieing. :) They have to declare themselves as part of the game, first. Until then, there's nothing to attack.
Dyne 11-21-05, 08:29 PM	Grindelwald enters the halls of the damned. "It has come to my attention that it is necessary to hold a meeting, between the Council of Three, to discuss territory."
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-21-05, 08:38 PM	Priest eyes Grindelwald, one hand straying upward, seeming to sway as the serpent stares into Grindelwald's eys. " This council you speak of, will they be able to help us in the war?"
Demonfey 11-21-05, 08:40 PM	Priest, this Council is Ashariana, Sargatanas, and myself.
Dyne 11-21-05, 08:52 PM	More precisely, the Council of Three is the Temple of the Damned, the Stormhand Federation, and the Guild of Ultimate Evil. "As for territory, if none object, the Stormhand Federation would like to lay claim to Mendal Plains, Sunset Mountains, Lake Radif, and Storm Peaks."
Demonfey 11-21-05, 08:54 PM	Fair. I already have Deeping Quarry and a certain port city at my disposal. There will probably be more later.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-21-05, 09:34 PM	Tortuga, the port city shall serve as the new Outpost for the GoUE.
Sargatanas 11-25-05, 04:10 PM	Sargatanas waves a hand toward Grindelwald. He leans back in his seat and yawns. Tapping his rotting fingers on the arm of the throne with a bored look. "Whatever, take them areas. If I need somethin from em, I'll expect ya to let us build in the area. I'm gettin bored right now... there aint no activity, aint nothin ta kill. I'm bout ready to destroy the Knights because of their insolence. What do you think brothers?"
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-25-05, 04:16 PM	Priest looks to Lord Sarg with a look of excitement " If there is to be bloodshed, please allow the Outpost to contribute on your side"
gabrion 11-25-05, 04:32 PM	@Sarg-Hey, are you going to respond to Aramel's IC post in the TFAIGGC?
Sargatanas 11-25-05, 04:36 PM	@Sarg-Hey, are you going to respond to Aramel's IC post in the TFAIGGC? Ah crap, I knew I forgot about somethin. Saw it before class and then forgot about it, I'll get ta that now.
Wilds 11-25-05, 05:51 PM	Walking back in corporeal. "This place is rather boring"
Demonfey 11-25-05, 05:52 PM	It only gets going when there's stuff to kill.
Dyne 11-25-05, 05:54 PM	Walking back in corporeal. "This place is rather boring" "Well, I suppose my business is finished here. However, there is work to do at the Stormhand Federation. Perhaps you could assist me?" Grindelwald turns and leaves for Castle Bristol.
Wilds 11-25-05, 05:56 PM	"Yes my lord" Turning to Sarg. "I will be going back to the Federation. There is work to be done. " He turns and follows Dynes chars.
Dyne 11-25-05, 06:14 PM	"Yes my lord" Turning to Sarg. "I will be going back to the Federation. There is work to be done. " He turns and follows Dynes chars. Actually, technically, I think I'm lower-ranking than you. I have to ask Ashariana what my rank should be.
gabrion 11-26-05, 01:52 AM	A large bird circles overhead...
Demonfey 11-26-05, 01:55 AM	Dinner! *takes out crossbow* :D Also, do you mean over the dome of darkness that only evil characters can see through?
gabrion 11-26-05, 02:01 AM	Dinner! *takes out crossbow* :D Also, do you mean over the dome of darkness that only evil characters can see through? If that's what the temple of the damned looks like then I guess so...
Demonfey 11-26-05, 02:01 AM	That's what Sargatanas had put around the Temple.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-26-05, 02:06 AM	Priest nocks an arrow & lets it fly @ the large bird
gabrion 11-26-05, 02:07 AM	Well then, I suppose the bird is flying over a big black dome. Really though, are there rules somewhere for such a defense?
turalisj 11-26-05, 02:10 AM	a cloaked figure walks towards the temple of evil as the rain pours down, a hood covering his head. He seems to carry nother else except a katana and a wakashuzi(sp?). Lets hope the guards don't try and stop him from coming near...
Zombomaniac 11-26-05, 02:17 AM	a cloaked figure walks towards the temple of evil as the rain pours down, a hood covering his head. He seems to carry nother else except a katana and a wakashuzi(sp?). Lets hope the guards don't try and stop him from coming near... If you can see how many fingers they are holding up then your evil and if your evil you are likely to want to join.
turalisj 11-26-05, 02:20 AM	He's LE. THe last lord he had died from an assault on his castle by the Church of the Silver Flamers*... *typo was put in purposly to make it funny.
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-26-05, 02:27 AM	Well then, I suppose the bird is flying over a big black dome. Really though, are there rules somewhere for such a defense? Permanant utterdark spell.
gabrion 11-26-05, 08:55 AM	Permanant utterdark spell. Ahh...and forgive me for having to ask, but where can I find that spell?
Demonfey 11-26-05, 11:17 AM	If I remember right, BoVD.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 11-26-05, 01:10 PM	you are correct DF.
turalisj 11-26-05, 03:28 PM	The samurai continued on his way, walking though the door. I wish to join in aliiegence with your lord.
gabrion 11-26-05, 07:49 PM	If I remember right, BoVD. Ok, I found it. Was the use of this spell with permenancy approved?
Zombomaniac 11-27-05, 01:06 AM	Ok, I found it. Was the use of this spell with permenancy approved? I think it was made into a item and thus made permanant in that way.
gabrion 11-27-05, 01:20 AM	I think it was made into a item and thus made permanant in that way. Was said item approved?
Orcy The Green Wonder 11-27-05, 01:21 AM	Was said item approved? Orcy asked if items made using the creation rules in the DMG need to be approved and was never given an answer.
Demonfey 11-27-05, 01:22 AM	Honestly, we know about as much about it as you.
gabrion 11-27-05, 01:43 AM	Orcy asked if items made using the creation rules in the DMG need to be approved and was never given an answer. Ahh...that would be the reason for the confusion then. That is an especially important question, so I hope the GMs do intend to address it.
Sargatanas 11-27-05, 09:02 PM	Sargatanas taps his fingers on the arm of his throne. It was a mystery to him as to why his troops could not seem to move on... but he was hoping it would be cleared up soon.
Demonfey 11-27-05, 09:11 PM	Sorry, the meeting seems to have set up anti-violence precautions. When that's over, we will be free to move.
Sargatanas 11-29-05, 02:57 AM	"Now that the wench has given up the only chance at salvation she has... I'd say this will be fun. Funny how our enemies hate eachother more than I care to hate either of them. Don't hate em really... just some obstacles ta run over. Ah, how I wanna hear me some bones snappin. Just the thoughts got me grinnin."Sargatanas grins wickedly and sits up in his throne, standing and walking around the throne room he sighs. Calling in one of his undead servants he says a few words and sends him out. "Might as well start assemblin the troops, we got us some slaughterin ta do soon enough. Think them goodies will put up much of a fight, or are we gonna be havin chicken for breakfast?"
Demonfey 11-29-05, 02:58 AM	Depends on what size force Nhyris can pull. As is, he can do better than Sulkyr did, although don't expect him to visit any time soon. To him, the living scaleless ones are pungent. Imagine how the undead would smell, especially when your sense of smell is also your sense of taste. If he can pull about two hundred into our forces, then that means it's three armies of over three hundred on one small, practically withered army.
Sargatanas 11-29-05, 03:04 AM	"Who pullin what? Where did Sulkyr go... wait... who the hell was Sulkyr? Did I even meat that guy? Ah whatever. Hope you got you some seige weapons, some nice big ones. I know a few nice ones that ya might be able ta use. But eh... yeah. I wanna get this stuff on with, conquer me some more land... kill me some folks that stand in my way. Ah, how happy it'll make me when everything starts falling into place..." Sargatanas cackles wickedly and stumbles over toward his throne. Flopping himself across it so his back is over one armrest and his legs hanging over the other he keeps laughing. Abruptly stopping he looks toward the doors. "Ah... when it is all united and the Damned walk the earth without being struck down by those accursed paladins and other swine. It will be a glorious day..."
Demonfey 11-29-05, 03:11 AM	Sulkyr was the pyroclastic half dragon warlock. Ashariana at met him for sure. Let's just say he entered an arena fight after I told him that he was one of the few warlocks that didn't have to sell his soul to become one for his fate. Also, on siege weapons, the wyvern effigy can drop boulders on the target from high in the sky, with at least two dirgibles as support guild halls and armed with ballistas, bombards, and warlocks. In addition to that, I am planning on siege breakers, or to be clearer, bugbear effigies wearing drogue wings so they can glide in and open the door from inside, hopefully. Also, I just got these notifications in the mail, saying that I'm head of the Pyro's Anonymous and that the Children of the Planes has come back, both of which should be exempt from conquering due to the Pyros being King Pyre island, which is a volcano anyways, and the Children hopefully the runners of the Portal Hall. What are your plans for the new mercenary city that has just rissen from the ocean bottom?
turalisj 11-29-05, 06:49 AM	And what of me? My best place is in the middle of the battlefield, wading through those weaker than I. Denrik said. ANd as for 'those accursed paladins', there will always be hunters of the dead. In the land I cam efrom, there is a place called Thrane who's leader is essentialy a talking flame. THe people of that land believe it to be a god and do whatever it wishes. They've already hunted down all of the lycanthropes of that land and killed them. They've been hunting undead for years. THey'll find a portal and come through, like I did. But not if I can get back to the portal I went through first. THen, you could have the first interidmensional army. Rule thousands of dimensions. Gather an army of powerful undead that I'm sure you wouldn't even be able to dream of.
Demonfey 11-29-05, 08:59 AM	Denrik, we are currently trying to figure out how to orchestrate the movements of three armies. Once we have that down, we'll get to what individual troops will do.
Sargatanas 12-02-05, 04:40 PM	And what of me? My best place is in the middle of the battlefield, wading through those weaker than I. Denrik said.

Now, you wanna join the temple and fight alongside us? Is that what brings you here? Ah, soon things will be set into motion... I'm going to enjoy my little drow pet." Sargatanas looks over the samurai and cracks a few bones while he leans back.
Demonfey 12-02-05, 09:17 PM	See, that's where you're going to end up going wrong in the end. You make things personal. Oh, and for the record, I've retired from leading the GoUE. I've left Nhyris, the yuan-ti I mentioned earlier, in my stead. Now, if you'll excuse me- A straw hat and a coconut shell appear on his head and in his hand respectively I'm headed off to Pyro's Anonymous. Feel free to drop by, we're over on King's Pyre, in the volcano. With that, he disappears.

Demonfey 12-02-05, 09:28 PM	On the map, it would be in the ocean to the left of Horchound Jungles.
Silmarien Aldalome 12-02-05, 10:01 PM	On the map, it would be in the ocean to the left of Horchound Jungles. Ah, yes, do you got a thread for it? - No? Never mind - just checking (wanna post to it). Hope you're well BTW. regards stav
Demonfey 12-02-05, 10:02 PM	I do have a thread for it, and I am well. It's just not a good idea to have one character controlling three to four separate guilds and technically have a fifth under his jurisdiction. The link: Oh, I'm a pyro, he's a pyro, what a pyro... (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=544263&page=2)
Sargatanas 12-05-05, 09:00 AM	Still waitin on those rules... As a note sil, since I doubt you bothered to read my defenses. None of your scrying, or any of your people, can see what is happening in the Temple. Theres an area of darkness around the thing that no light spell can get through. So eh... even if you DO send a spy, he better be evil, or he ain't gonna be able to see, and that'll lead to him bein in a pile on the floor.
Wilds 12-05-05, 10:34 AM	lol, you might want to post that all over just to make sure
turalisj 12-07-05, 07:21 PM	Any chance on getting zik's body back for free?
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 07:53 PM	A shadowy figure enters the Temple of the Damned and approaches Sargatanas. "I've heard you don't get along with a drow woman named Silimna. Would you pay for her head?"
turalisj 12-07-05, 07:56 PM	A shadowy figure enters the Temple of the Damned and approaches Sargatanas. "I've heard you don't get along with a drow woman named Silimna. Would you pay for her head?" Turalisj appeared behind the figures back, his mindblade charged up. The shadow's breath and blade doesn't like freelancers taking thier territory. So I suggest you find somewhere else to sell your wares.
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 08:00 PM	Turalisj appeared behind the figures back, his mindblade charged up. The shadow's breath and blade doesn't like freelancers taking thier territory. So I suggest you find somewhere else to sell your wares. The figure seems unconcerned by the threat. "Whoever the shadow's breath and blade is, I'm quite sure they don't control the place we now stand." He turns back to the leader of the guild. "I await your response." Make a spot check.
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:02 PM	(You too, shadowy...on second thought, I'll do this the normal way) We are the assassins and thieves. If someone needs someone else dead, we are the ones that you go to. You have to be union to be paid, too.
turalisj 12-07-05, 08:03 PM	bet you 50 gold he doesn't take the offer.
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:05 PM	Deal.
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 08:09 PM	(You too, shadowy...on second thought, I'll do this the normal way) We are the assassins and thieves. If someone needs someone else dead, we are the ones that you go to. You have to be union to be paid, too. "Ah, so people around here actually organize their killing of one another. Well, I feel better suited to freelancing if it's all the same to you."
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:11 PM	Do you want to cause a price slashing feud? It'll just make us and you suffer in the long run, having to do the missions for less just so they'll pick one either us or you.
Sargatanas 12-07-05, 08:16 PM	Sargatanas waves a hand for silence. Slamming a dead fist down on the arm of his throne if they don't shut up. "Quiet down ladies. First, ya gotta answer a question for me. What color am I holding up." Sargatanas lifts a purple card into the air. He grins as he watches the man. A simple way to determine if the one asking was truely evil. Since only evil creatures would be able to see within the Temple's walls. Simultaneously, he waves his other hand to detect any magics that might let the man see in such powerful darkness. "Tell me the answer to that, and perhaps we'll talk."
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:18 PM	Sorry for underestimating you before, Sargatanas. Even better plan: write "I prepared explosive runes today" on them. Doesn't have to be true, unless you want it to be.
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 08:19 PM	A bit confused about why such a question would be asked, the man responds, "Purple." OOC: If you have a way of detecting evil, the man is very much so, to the point that even some of his items give off an aura of evil.
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:20 PM	Check the first post of the thread. It'll explain it all.
turalisj 12-07-05, 08:22 PM	Zik's head popped in through the floor, a pipe stuck in his mouth. Ya think I could have my body back? A few friends of mine need it back home. He asked, taking the pipe out of his mouth.
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 08:25 PM	Check the first post of the thread. It'll explain it all. I'm not confused, but my character, being able to see normally, wouldn't really understand the test.
Sargatanas 12-07-05, 08:27 PM	Sargatanas nods and puts the card back into a pile of them at his side. He looks back toward the newcomer resting his chin in his hands. "Well, congratulations, you get to live. I would have to say that... it wouldn't be fair to my friends at the breath and blade if I were to simply pay another to hunt someone down for me. That isn't to say I wouldn't pay for her head after she was a corpse. But I'm not going to pay you to hunt the wench."
turalisj 12-07-05, 08:29 PM	pay up demonfey. :P
Demonfey 12-07-05, 08:32 PM	Add 50 gp to your character. Tetsuo's now down 50.
A_shadowy_figure 12-07-05, 08:33 PM	Sargatanas nods and puts the card back into a pile of them at his side. He looks back toward the newcomer resting his chin in his hands. "Well, congratulations, you get to live. I would have to say that... it wouldn't be fair to my friends at the breath and blade if I were to simply pay another to hunt someone down for me. That isn't to say I wouldn't pay for her head after she was a corpse. But I'm not going to pay you to hunt the wench." "Very well. Had I known you had loyalties to this 'Shadow's Breath and Blade' I would not have asked, and I hope my ignorance has not made me enemies. Never-the-less, I will be looking for this drow woman and, should I find her, I will give you the pleasure of doing what you wish with the corpse for a small price." With that, a shadowy figure takes leave of the temple.
turalisj 12-07-05, 08:39 PM	Soo.... Zik said, now that the fiure left. What will It take for me to get my body back? I won't need any of the items that I had on it, since I'll be getting new stuff.
Wilds 12-07-05, 10:04 PM	"Another new comer thinking they can take our business? We will not stand for that."
lordofdragons 12-07-05, 10:55 PM	I am the Darastrixmaekrix, avatar of the great Lord Antioch in the Cathedral of Antioch (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=469133&page=1&pp=30). I extend a friendly hand in the upcoming guild wars and ask for an alliance. As of yet, we are alone without allies and, as har as we know, the target of many as a young and relatively new Guild House (I think it started in either June or July of '05). Please, feel free to stop by the Cathedral and see what we have to offer, including new prestige classes, feats, and artifacts. As a bonus to them all, or at least most of them, since we are specialized in the idea of amassing (sic) power, many new ideas presented in the Cathedral are powrful and focus and giving bonuses and some level of invulnerability. Again, I ask for allies for an allyless (I'm not sure that's a word, just roll with me) guild. Though our god is NG, his avatar is LE.
Ashariana 12-12-05, 09:25 AM	You boys have certainly slowed down with activity. Sad because you can't go out and destroy things with your armies?
Demonfey 12-12-05, 09:54 AM	Probably. I'm currently working on a little "field trip" idea to a Rokugani-standard Oriental Adventures Handbook place to bring in some new creatures, though.
gabrion 12-12-05, 10:27 AM	you know, if people are still interested in chasing silimna down, she happens to be at the halls of refuge right now... ...point is that there are targets to destroy if you want them.
Wilds 12-12-05, 11:28 AM	the GoPG hasnt declared yet..... Which meansthat we cant attack Sil until they declare. Which is total bs, cause he already attacked us with no valid reason. But the GMs are gods, so we can just sit and wait to wipe out all of their snoby faces, instead of just one
Ashariana 12-12-05, 12:16 PM	the GoPG hasnt declared yet..... Which meansthat we cant attack Sil until they declare. Which is total bs, cause he already attacked us with no valid reason. But the GMs are gods, so we can just sit and wait to wipe out all of their snoby faces, instead of just one No... you can't attack the GoPG until they declare. The Halls of Refuge are declared and like... ya know, statted I think. If they aren't I'm sure Gabrion will get that done a lot faster than sil. So right now... Silimna is in a statted location.
Demonfey 12-12-05, 12:51 PM	With backup, healers, and in what is effectively the Red Cross of the game.
Wilds 12-12-05, 01:34 PM	Thats only if they actually survive the first barrage. The reason I have a warmage in the game
Demonfey 12-12-05, 01:45 PM	Some of them would probably, and then we'd have an issue of tracking down the survivors on our hands because of casters with teleport. Here's the really important part, though: The GoUE has no healers at the moment. The Hall of Refuge'll probably be very handy to have around.
Wilds 12-12-05, 03:34 PM	Ya.... good thing my GoVE char can only rip limbs off and nothing more...
Demonfey 12-12-05, 06:01 PM	If we struck now, by the time your character and his forces got on the ground, we'd lose all the primary targets.
turalisj 12-12-05, 06:19 PM	Zik tapped his foot, witing for a reply. Look Sargantas, we can do this one of two ways. The easy way where you just give me back my body, or the hard way where I contact the court.
Demonfey 12-12-05, 06:22 PM	You're both on the council. This would be two archmages on the council deciding to attack one another, and so falls out of our jurisdiction.
turalisj 12-12-05, 06:29 PM	*looks around* what council? I was talking about the undying court.... yeah....
Demonfey 12-12-05, 06:33 PM	Ah, but here's the thing: technically, you're not part of that court. You are a ghost at the moment, one of the undead. And why should they help one of the dead that lingers here, instead of just forcibly sending you to the afterlife?
Sargatanas 12-12-05, 07:38 PM	Sargatanas looks at the ghost and raises a dead eyebrow. He sits watching him with the eyebrow raised then makes a strange noise. Again he makes the noise... then again, and suddenly bursts out laughing, slapping his hand on his knee. "Oh... Oh that was a good one. HAHAH! Give back your corpse, hahah! You shouldn't have been on the enemy side if ya wanted ta live pal. Now get outta here before I decide to add you to my horde." Sargatanas grins and places a hand on his holy symbol. Wonder how Zik can actually see in a place he... can't see. Strange isn't it?
gabrion 12-12-05, 07:49 PM	@Sarg-Not that I have a problem with it, but you should probaly repost the item that is making the permanent Utterdark effect at the approvals thread. I think you put it there before and the GMs didn't address it, but technically defenses like that can't be used without explicit GM approval. Like I said, I don't have a problem with you continuing to opperate with it up, but for the sake of consistency and fairness, things like that need to be approved. *disclaimeer*-If you've already gotten approval for the item and I missed it, then please just ignore this post.

Here's the really important part, though: The GoUE has no healers at the moment. The Hall of Refuge'll probably be very handy to have around. Who cares about healers. Kill them now. The Stormhand Federation could supply clerics, if necessary.
Demonfey 12-12-05, 10:19 PM	Really, now... the other reasons are if the mass combat rules are ready, if guild leadership's ready, and just me figuring out soldier numbers and what else I need for the GoUE to be fully operational (or in other words, do I need another ship)
Dyne 12-12-05, 10:40 PM	Really, now... the other reasons are if the mass combat rules are ready, if guild leadership's ready, and just me figuring out soldier numbers and what else I need for the GoUE to be fully operational (or in other words, do I need another ship) Still, while we're doing that, it would be interesting to have a few skirmishes between main characters. Maybe finish the "find Silimna or the entire world is destroyed" thing. Mass combat doesn't need to be a part of it.
Demonfey 12-12-05, 10:41 PM	Decided against it, so that idea left with the change of power. Besides, what fun is ruling the world when it's burnt to a crisp?
turalisj 12-12-05, 11:03 PM	Hey dyne, have you finaly decided on an avatar? You seem to be going through them fast than Henry th 8th went through wives.(I think it was henry the 8th, can someone check that for me?)
Demonfey 12-13-05, 02:23 PM	All members of the GoUE that still want to have a PC as a member please post that they're still there and mention which PC, please.
Dyne 12-15-05, 07:38 PM	Hey dyne, have you finaly decided on an avatar? You seem to be going through them fast than Henry th 8th went through wives.(I think it was henry the 8th, can someone check that for me?) Yes, it was Henry VIII. And no, I'm not done. I'm still searching for one that fits Alexander, my new main character.
thasis 12-15-05, 10:23 PM	Hmmm... just thinking, what's going to happen between the Guild of Ultimate Evil and the Temple of the Damned. Evil seems to never work with evil for to long without end up killing eachother. I highly suggest we not do the stereotypical evil thing and kill SOME of the good guys and then end up spending so much time attempting to backstab eachother and gain prestigue within our guilds that we never get any more good-guy killing (a good example of this is pretty much any evil Forgotten Realms organization).

Sargatanas 12-16-05, 02:10 AM	Ah, what reason would I have for stabbin ya in the back. I did set up the council idea so I wouldn't have to. Don't worry, we'll kill us some good guys then have us some opression parties.

Oh ye of little faith, can't you ever trust that it's occurred to me as well? I took care of it.
Sargatanas 12-20-05, 12:45 PM	Sargatanas lies across his throne staring at the wall. He sighs a few times and taps the throne's backing. Switching from that he plays around with one of the daggers in his hair. Looking toward the exit of the Temple he growls and sits up. "I... am very bored. What the hell is taking these people so long! I wanna kill something, I wanna DO something. I'm ready ta start rippin my hair out here. What in the name of Afflux is stopping me from spreading my influence!? Thats it, gather the troops. I'm not waitin much longer."
Demonfey 12-21-05, 12:22 AM	A serpentine creature slithers in, a special mask on its face. I hope I have this thing on right...anyway, Sargatanas, I am Nhyris, current leader of the GoUE until Thasis returns. We are almost ready, and just need to take care of soldier housing. While Fang, or as I prefer to call him fur boy, helps with that, why don't we talk about targets? Mask of keeping the smell of undead from sticking in his mouth.
Wilds 12-21-05, 09:32 AM	fur boy lol :pile:
Sargatanas 12-21-05, 03:15 PM	"The targets are the same as they've always been. Anything that stands in our way and resists our great dream. The Knights, the Guild of 'Pure Good' and the rest of them goodies. They think they can stand against us because they think their idea of good always wins. But as usual, we don't buy it do we? No, our enemies are simply after their own lands. They simply want to conquer the world and force those they don't like out of it. They want to get rid of everything that is different or strange to them... Can't let that happen, now can we?"
Demonfey 12-21-05, 07:49 PM	No, we can't. What I was asking is which one do we want to strike first? For the purposes of war, at the moment, the GoUE can speed up movement of siege weaponry and troops from location to location relatively easily, and supply a good amount of siege engineers.
thasis 12-22-05, 02:08 AM	Thasis the Evil enters the chambers "Well well well. It seems things have been going on well. I suggest that we strike at this new figure who is related to Silmarian. I never liked any of those elven scum. The only good things about elves is that they make me hungry. Gabrion and the Halls of Refuge could proove to be boonful. They may claim neutrul in the war, but it won't stay like that for long. They are good in nature. I suggest that we take over the facilities and capture the healers and equipment for our own use".
Demonfey 12-22-05, 02:59 AM	So, you have officially returned?
thasis 12-22-05, 03:01 AM	"In a sense yes I have. Unfournetly I have not regained to my full strength. I will have to be in rest more often untill I can fully recover. Don't worry, this is temporary". This is called half-way-point. I'm going to role-play again (mainly cause I'm going through withdrawl) but I'm still not allowed on the net so my acess is still somewhat limited. I'm jus better at sneaking on.
Demonfey 12-22-05, 03:02 AM	So...am I still in control somewhat until you get full access to the net again?
thasis 12-22-05, 03:04 AM	Yes, unfournetly I can't reclaim my guild. I'm not great with the defenses stuff though is my problem. When I come back would you still be up to keeping up with that? If I do I'll go slower then Silmarian at the GoPG.
Demonfey 12-22-05, 03:22 AM	Sure, I'll continue with the defenses. Soon as I know how much we have at the moment, I'll let you know what to update on the first page.
thasis 12-22-05, 04:05 AM	Ok, sounds good. Anything other then defenses that need working on?
Demonfey 12-22-05, 04:41 AM	Right now, just troop housing. When you get your character complete, just let me know and I'll help you figure out how many troops fall under your command. In the meantime, I'll just work on my own troops.
Sargatanas 12-23-05, 04:09 PM	"Well, considering my ol pal Jacob has decided to put a bounty on my head. I'll have to say we strike him first. New guild and all, should be relatively easy to smite. Then, I'll make him a dancing flesh puppet and strap a jester suit on him, HAH! Halls of refuge, sure, that ain't my primary target though. I'd like ta keep em in good spirits for now, after all, they do the whole 'protect refugees' thing. Which could prove useful in the comin future, they'll be killin eachother if I decide to eh... take up residence there. Now, guild of pure good, well them freaks are an obvious target as always. The Knights, yeah, we'll give em a good kickin in the jewels. Whole lotta people we need ta be killin these days. Ya'd think people would be more acceptin of the whole uniting the world idea."
Demonfey 12-23-05, 05:52 PM	Well, since Thasis the Evil is back, that means that his good counterpart would be back too. So they should be progressing further. So currently our target is the new guild? If so, just give me a little time to rally my personal followers and to get the ships ready for combat. We need more groups in the council. My reasoning is from history, specifically WWII, axis of evil, three main countries.
thasis 12-23-05, 10:47 PM	What is this new guild that we are going to strike? Is it that one about protecting freedoms?
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 10:56 PM	They are talking about the Fortress of Light. My guild. Also, I really do hate having to say this, but you can't attack it right now. I dont have anything statted just yet. Once I get a few ideas checked out and some matrials copied then I will have it statted out real quick. I sound like Sil right now. :weep:
thasis 12-23-05, 10:58 PM	Hmmm, where is Sil anyways? And I knew what the guild was (or atleast I had a clear idea), I jus wasn't complety remembering the name. I remembered something abour Fortress, that was about it. Haha! But yes, I agree, we should attack it, that is when it's up and running with stats.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:00 PM	Hmmm...so this is what it is like to hear your own death being plotted....feels kinda wierd. :P
thasis 12-23-05, 11:02 PM	Don't feel sad, if you die we'll probally bring you back from the dead as a loyal undead minion :D
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:09 PM	Yaaaaa....I'm gonna have to kill you all. Just to let you know. :rolleyes:
thasis 12-23-05, 11:14 PM	I'm pretty sure the bad outranks and is more productive then the good. I wouldn't suggest anything to bold. If you keep relatively quiet your death will come quick and painless. If not... as the Insane Clown Posse would say "Your death will come wicked, painful, and slow... and the hands of Milenko".
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:18 PM	Quiet was how I made the Order of the Giving Hand and its not even on the second page any more. Loud is how I am making the Fortress. It si on the first page. Now which one sounds better? Also Evil is only more productive because it is easier. Good is less productive because it is harder and Sil is on our side.
Wilds 12-23-05, 11:21 PM	what is insnae clown posie classifeid as? rap? rock?
thasis 12-23-05, 11:22 PM	Hmm, don't pick on Sil to much. He's a person like any of us, with there flaws and quirks. And evil is easier in some aspects, but harder in others. Evil people are backstabbing in most cases. We have to continualy watch our backs. Plus we have the good guys uniting against us, which does no good. Plus good guys get Gold Dragons, one of the strongest dragons in exsistince.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:24 PM	Ya and Evil get about 85% of all books, Neutral gets about 10%, and Good gets about 5%.
Wilds 12-23-05, 11:26 PM	We get shadow dragons though, most definatly better than gold
thasis 12-23-05, 11:27 PM	That's not true. The Complete series was primarly focused on boosting hero's (whether good or evil but focusing more on evil). Monster books are divided between Good and Evil monsters, with less good monsters but the good monsters seem to be stronger. If you realy look at it most books are actualy Neutrul in most cases. It tends to balance itself out. Plus evil doesn't usualy work well together, so the evil that it does have can't unite to take out the good guys.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:29 PM	Ya tell that to the Temple/SF/GoUE Alliance. They have been killing other people pretty well.
thasis 12-23-05, 11:30 PM	Oh and to Wilds: Insane Clown Posse is Horrorcore. It's a sub-divisory of Rap. You'd have to listen to it to get the true feel of it though cause it tends not to be the stereotypical Gangsta-Rap. They're mein FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME! @Zombo - We're an exception. But I don't exactly trust the Temple of the Dammned. But you are correct. We are going to pulverise you if you attempt to kill us though.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:31 PM	I will go out in a blaze of glory. :D
thasis 12-23-05, 11:34 PM	I just suggest possibly shutting down the guild... before we shut it down ourselves.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:35 PM	I just suggest possibly shutting down the guild... before we shut it down ourselves. :uh-huh: What? :confused:
thasis 12-23-05, 11:38 PM	I'm saying give up. Surrender. Give into our wishes. Shut down your services. Run away.
Zombomaniac 12-23-05, 11:39 PM	I'm saying give up. Surrender. Give into our wishes. Shut down your services. Run away. :uh-huh: Why? :confused:
thasis 12-23-05, 11:41 PM	Cause if you don't, we'll destroy you, your guild, and use the remains of your guild for our own benifits. Your whole guild will be in vain. All it will proove to do is strengthen ours.
Wilds 12-23-05, 11:42 PM	Now that would take all the fun out of it. I need to find some ICP songs and listen to them.
thasis 12-23-05, 11:45 PM	Yes you should. Therez also quiet a few other bands under the Psychopathic Records Company (the record company owned by ICP) that all do the same style of music as ICP. They actualy have quiet a few mega groups that combine ICP and various other groups in there record label. YAY! Selfless promotion of the Juggalo Country!
Dyne 12-23-05, 11:53 PM	1. The SF is neutral, not evil. Always was, always will be. 2. Jacob Mist (the leader of the Fortress of Light) was one of the leaders of the SF. Which means: 3. If the Temple of the GoUE attack the Fortress of Light, they will almost certainly face war with the SF. 4. Why the hell should anyone give up? The point of this game is not to just push each other around and get as powerful as possible. It's to have fun, whether you are winning or losing. If I ever hear someone trying to convince someone else OoC to give up again, I'll personally annihilate them.
thasis 12-23-05, 11:58 PM	I ment for that all to be in game. The only problem is that my character is kinda at his guild house trying to intimidate him. I didn't honestly expect him to give up, I just felt like giving him the option.
jagggar 12-24-05, 12:11 AM	Everyone should just give up now before the GMs join together to invoke their power of Deus ex Machina and destroy you all. :P I'm sorry, it just begs a threat like that, Dyne.
Dyne 12-24-05, 12:16 AM	Everyone should just give up now before the GMs join together to invoke their power of Deus ex Machina and destroy you all. :P I'm sorry, it just begs a threat like that, Dyne. Oh yeah? The GM's should just give up before the munchkins get together and exploit every loophole in the game. :P And I've stumbled across my good share of munchkiny loopholes. I once thought about making a single character that would embody all of them (some of them through cohorts and followers, obviously), but I decided not to because I was already full up on 3 PC's. But really, survival isn't generally the focus of D&D. Heroics is the focus (or simply "greatness," if you're playing a character not necessarily heroic, such as evil and chaotic characters). Survival is only important so that you can continue to do heroic stuff. You should never give up before you even began, even if your survival is threatened. In fact, having your survival threatened is part of the fun. :angelhide
Wilds 12-24-05, 12:20 AM	Your Deus Ex Machina can not hurt us. MMwwwwhahahahahahahaha ;)
jagggar 12-24-05, 12:24 AM	Well, I'm pretty sure we'd still win. And it would probably be the point in time at which everyone is reduced to 6th level core-only. . . Actually, if you're aiming for greatness (be it heroic or villianous) and your survival isn't threatened, then I think you're probably not aiming right.
turalisj 12-24-05, 12:32 AM	@Zombo - We're an exception. But I don't exactly trust the Temple of the Dammned. But you are correct. We are going to pulverise you if you attempt to kill us though. You and what army? *looks behind thasis* nice army. Though, how can that exist if you cannot give your cohort the same PrC/template as you have?
thasis 12-24-05, 01:30 AM	Well an army is a comming. Jus you a wait *shakes fist*
Demonfey 12-24-05, 01:45 AM	You and what army? *looks behind thasis* nice army. Though, how can that exist if you cannot give your cohort the same PrC/template as you have? Have players that decided they wanted their own personal forces.
Pytho_Orthan 12-30-05, 12:23 AM	A young commoner man whistles to himself as he strides into the temple. He walks right up to the currently empty throne and takes a s eat as events unfold at the betting booth. Taking a crown from behind his back, one that used to adorn the head of the undead master of the temple, the commoner places it on his head and smiles.
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 12:34 AM	By your posts I assume you have killed Sargantanas and his friends. Care to tell us how you did that?
Pytho_Orthan 12-30-05, 12:36 AM	By your posts I assume you have killed Sargantanas and his friends. Care to tell us how you did that? Confidential. But it happened, ask him yourself if you want.
Sargatanas 12-30-05, 12:41 AM	To avoid my PM box fillin, yes it happened, yes I'm ******, and maybe I'll find a way ta murder Jacob, or flay him, flayings good. :hoppingma :headexplo :hoppingma
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 12:49 AM	To avoid my PM box fillin, yes it happened, yes I'm ******, and maybe I'll find a way ta murder Jacob, or flay him, flayings good. :hoppingma :headexplo :hoppingma Care to explain this? You know little things like a turn by turn description, doing it in public, GM approvel, you know the stuff that makes it legal. This is not to say that I dont...trust you per say but.....well ya I dont trust this. :P
Sargatanas 12-30-05, 12:52 AM	Care to explain this? You know little things like a turn by turn description, doing it in public, GM approvel, you know the stuff that makes it legal. This is not to say that I dont...trust you per say but.....well ya I dont trust this. :P No, I aint givin ya a play by play in public, thats the whole damn point to secrecy. He did it secretly, and thats how its gonna stay. Sssargoth approved it, if the other GMs have questions, they can ask him. But aint none of you gettin any play by play.
Pytho_Orthan 12-30-05, 12:56 AM	Can't believe it if you didn't see it?
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 12:57 AM	No, I aint givin ya a play by play in public, thats the whole damn point to secrecy. He did it secretly, and thats how its gonna stay. Sssargoth approved it, if the other GMs have questions, they can ask him. But aint none of you gettin any play by play. So your telling me that a User that joined this month, has made a total two posts, has no approved PC, and many other questionable traits just appeared out of thin air and killed you? *sniff* *sniff* Smell that? Smells like fish. A lot of fish.
Sargatanas 12-30-05, 01:00 AM	Listen, do you think I wanted to die an unknown and unseen death? No, I wanted to die on a god damned feild of battle, but here I am, a friggin corpse (non-moving) with no glory, and no great battle. No, that aint what I wanted. I'm dead, ask Sssargoth if you wanna press it. Whos to say this guy aint someone else? Whos to say he doesn't have an approved character? You don't know everything, you aint a damn GM. Now if you wanna accuse me of something, say it, or cut the crap.
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 01:00 AM	Can't believe it if you didn't see it? In a situation like this I need proof.

Smells like fish. A lot of fish. For your information, I have a character, it was approved, and everything was done in secrecy. Would the assassins around here have run into the building swinging swords for everyone to see?

If the Gms approve it then my mouth is shut, but until one does and I see the approvale then I have to question this. If it is approved then I have nothing against it. In fact I love it. Jacobs been wanting you dead for awile and the Temple losing power works for him. Though it sucks for Hirohito since he is still there, but I'll cover that in a bit. I have to say this screams foul play mostly by you and dont start yelling and cussing cause you dont like hat I have to say. I just want proof. For all I know this could be you doing a covert ops type thing. It is legal to create a MUP for that to fool players as long as the GMs know. Just look at the posts. He miraculusly kills Sargantaas, most feared and most powerful person around right now and then makes claim for your throne at the Temple. If this is legal then great, but it doesn't look legal.
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 01:12 AM	For your information, I have a character, it was approved, and everything was done in secrecy. Would the assassins around here have run into the building swinging swords for everyone to see? Nope they wouldn't have to be in the open, but they must be legal. For you really did this legally then good job ( :ayyyy!: )and you'll get the Reward money from Jacob for killing them.

Ya know, you aren't helping my damn mood. I get killed and then called a liar because someone doesn't think I'm dead. Just great. Sure, maybe I am doin some sorta covert ops thing that makes ya think I'm dead when I aint. But maybe I am six feet under. He killed me, for some reason I don't think ya'd be *****in if someone else did it. **** happens, and don't you EVER accuse me of cheatin again.

No amount of yelling will change things and as a rule I dont trust anything like this. Its not you its the situation. I am just pointing out how it looks. I want Sargantanas dead so this works in my favor or was that hit out of you when ya died? ;) If it really is as you say (and i hope it is) then awsome gald to see one less evil guy. :cool: Deep breaths Man, deep breaths. :)
Tenzhi 12-30-05, 01:21 AM	Look at it this way: if it ain't legal, it's the GMs' problem, not yours. In the meantime, the victim himself says it was all on the up-and-up and continuously challenging the matter ain't gonna do anything but inflame a situation that was perfectly calm (some might say dead calm).

Elf-Bane makes a grand point. Look I just wanted to point out how this looked. Someone was bound to do it and if anyone is going to raize Hell it might as well be me. :devil: I'll give both post a good IC reponce in a sec. Just have to finish eating dinner.

Unfortunately, dragon boy is asleep, so I can't get him ta tell ya I aint lyin. So all ya got right now is my word, and that... deep breaths... deep breaths... other kind gentlemen's word...
jagggar 12-30-05, 01:26 AM	How about we put it this way: When Sssargoth is next on he just needs to post saying that he knows about it and all that jazz.
Zombomaniac 12-30-05, 01:28 AM	A man's word used ta be worth somthin. Unfortunately, dragon boy is asleep, so I can't get him ta tell ya I aint lyin. So all ya got right now is my word, and that... deep breaths... deep breaths... other kind gentlemen's word... :rofl: Dont worry about it. I just wanted to point it out. I figured it had to be legal since all you have done has been. It just looked fishy so I thought it would be best it i was the one to say it. If anyone is going to get hated for saying it why not someone who doesn't care? ;) I'll give a responce IC in a sec and just for you I'll create a bit of RP trouble for your murder the "kind gentlemen". :D How about we put it this way: When Sssargoth is next on he just needs to post saying that he knows about it and all that jazz. All ready planning on it.
Tenzhi 12-30-05, 01:41 AM	Elf-Bane makes a grand point. Yeah, what's up with that anyway? Why am *I* trying to make peace in a situation that seemingly has nothing to do with me? That seems like the anti-thesis of all I stand for. Or something. I must be getting all mellow in my old age. Bah. I still assert that I hate you all equally. And I shake my fist at you. :dragon:

gabrion 12-30-05, 04:00 PM	It's good to see the covert ops system being used.
Wilds 12-30-05, 08:33 PM	So that means that I dont have to post anything that I am doing. And kill people? sweet
Sssargoth 12-30-05, 09:14 PM	A man's word used ta be worth somthin. Unfortunately, dragon boy is asleep, so I can't get him ta tell ya I aint lyin. So all ya got right now is my word, and that... deep breaths... deep breaths... other kind gentlemen's word... I was actually at work, and didnt have time to change my away message. How about we put it this way: When Sssargoth is next on he just needs to post saying that he knows about it and all that jazz. Yup, definately knew about it, and I think Im the only GM that has a copy of his charicter... :bigeyes: Ill be PMing you annd necro with a copy of it soon.

This means that you now have a stronger potentially evil guy. Pytho, would you mind posting your character at the PC thread (4), please, if you haven't already under another alias?
Pytho_Orthan 12-30-05, 11:34 PM	That's not what this means. This means that you now have a stronger potentially evil guy. Pytho, would you mind posting your character at the PC thread (4), please, if you haven't already under another alias? Sorry, but yes I would mind. Sssargoth has the character and has approved it, and I'd rather keep it hidden from everyone else. Secrecy is for the best at the time.
Sssargoth 12-30-05, 11:36 PM	That's not what this means. This means that you now have a stronger potentially evil guy. Pytho, would you mind posting your character at the PC thread (4), please, if you haven't already under another alias? He wants to keep his charicter a secret, but dont worry, us GMs have a copy and I already approved it.
Demonfey 12-30-05, 11:39 PM	Alright. Just trying to do my job. Can I at least ask if his species nature would be immediately apparent (skin sloughing off, a skeleton, tall as an ogre, something like that)? Because I know that, for the GoUE when I controlled it, I was trying to make a very wide variety of species living there.

Because I know that, for the GoUE when I controlled it, I was trying to make a very wide variety of species living there. The man currently in the temple is as human as they come. He has commoner's clothing on and looks like he just walked in off the streets after begging for change.
Demonfey 12-30-05, 11:44 PM	Ah. Thank you, just wanted to make sure. Care to move on to business?
Pytho_Orthan 12-31-05, 12:59 AM	The young man on the throne hums and looks at his surroundings. Taking careful note of what is going on with the people who are still around the guild. The halls seem rather empty since Sargatanas had called for his army to be rounded up. His death would in turn release all of them, and they would either disperse or go off and do whatever it is undead do. The young man runs a hand along the arm of the thone and smiles wide. "Ooh, nice."
Wilds 12-31-05, 01:27 AM	Hes not posting anything?!. Arg, its Sil V.2 So gana start killings random things soon
Tenzhi 12-31-05, 01:35 AM	Hes not posting anything?!. And really, as long as the DMs are okay with it, he shouldn't have to. Because if you can't trust the DM's approval of the character, then it doesn't matter if you can see the stats because they could be bogus anyway; and if you can trust the DM's approval you don't need to see the character's stats.

Thank you. It is the same way in a game in person, I prefer my character sheet not to be passed about. My secrets are my own, I don't want to show off everything I have.

"Ooh, nice." Nhyris slithers in, oblivious to all the undead. So...how well did you think this out? I mean, you just took over a guild you have apparently crippled, and have quite possibly destroyed our best chance of defeating the good guilds, and basically have effectively lost us over a third of our forces. How do you plan to turn that around? So, did you trap his soul or anything? Because the spell compendium has loophole spells in it for this type of situation.
Wilds 12-31-05, 11:06 AM	Sooooo..... Can Sil be attacked then?
jagggar 12-31-05, 11:26 AM	Yes and no. Sil is currently in the process of being attacked. There will be no more attacks upon her until that attack is resolved.
Wilds 12-31-05, 01:27 PM	Really? I thought we couldnt attack Sil until the GoPG had a base set up
jagggar 12-31-05, 01:42 PM	Combination of discussion at Meta and what Mr. Shadowy said in his request to "go in" at the Halls of Refuge. The GoPG isn't up for a target though. Oh, and to DF's question. That in my opinion is fully allowed to be secret. I think if we were to go pulling back layers of secrecy, a overview of the attack would be much more appropriate than if souls were sealed away or not. You want to bring him back, try it. If it's not possible, you'll find out that way.
Wilds 12-31-05, 02:07 PM	We got enough resources to try. And if not hunt down the thing that did it.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 12-31-05, 04:41 PM	Ok, wow,....damn WTF went down here since I left....?!
Zombomaniac 12-31-05, 04:42 PM	Ok, wow,....damn WTF went down here since I left....?! Sarg and his cohorts appear to be dead and the army of undead appears to have been disbanded.
Kobold_Ur_Priest 12-31-05, 04:53 PM	Sarg and his cohorts appear to be dead and the army of undead appears to have been disbanded. wow again....im disappointed rather, Sarg was a good person to have around and as for the undead...did they return to their graves or merely wandering without a master...if so, get a Necro in here and start stocking up on followers ^_^

"Ooh, nice." Zik floated in and looked around, scratching his head. WEll, what has happend here? Seems that blasted bag of bones has finaly got what he needed. He looked at the boy (in Zik's view, any human under 30 is a boy) and smiled. Well, I guess I have you to thank for this task. I am Zik Flameweaver, former member of what this place used to be, the Royal Guard. He offered a translucent hand in gratitude.
Dyne 12-31-05, 06:37 PM	Actually, apparently, Zik was never a member of the Royal Guard (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=6986475&postcount=1).
turalisj 12-31-05, 06:51 PM	Actually, he was. How do you think he died? Arshes was just too lazy to tell everyone...
Zombomaniac 12-31-05, 06:54 PM	Actually, he was. How do you think he died? Arshes was just too lazy to tell everyone... Ya I remember. Your arms were killed and then the rest of you.
Dyne 12-31-05, 06:58 PM	Actually, he was. How do you think he died? Arshes was just too lazy to tell everyone... You never made a post saying "I want to join the Royal Guard." This (http://boards1.wizards.com/showpost.php?p=7347204&postcount=39) was your first post in the thread. Then again, maybe that reference to "The Serpent" under the Infiltration and Deception division was supposed to be you.

I know Arshes personally and was helping him with stuff for the RG when Sargantas. Zik is the archmage of snake and serpents. That's like demonfey joining a name unde rthe name of evil dryad.
Pytho_Orthan 01-01-06, 01:18 AM	Nhyris slithers in, oblivious to all the undead. So...how well did you think this out? I mean, you just took over a guild you have apparently crippled, and have quite possibly destroyed our best chance of defeating the good guilds, and basically have effectively lost us over a third of our forces. How do you plan to turn that around? So, did you trap his soul or anything? Because the spell compendium has loophole spells in it for this type of situation. "More than one third I believe. But that doesn't matter. You may question the things that have happened, but I do not. We have our own ideas and our own methods. But, you can still win of course. Sargatanas put himself in the spotlight, and so we did what needed to be done, no more, no less. We would like to help this guild, and do what is needed for it, but that will be very difficult if you decide we are your enemy." The man smiles and kicks a foot up onto his knee. He looks at Nhyris and waves a hand toward another seat. "We can talk about this more if you would like snake man."
Demonfey 01-01-06, 12:47 PM	Waving away the seat due to the fact that he has no legs, Nhyris instead rears up on his tail, coils it around, and seems to sit on that (well, more or less). One other thing I just thought of: Since Sargatanas isn't controlling them any more, the newly freed undead are probably going to go around your lands killing the citizens. Do you have any plans of herding them into enemy guild territory?

Do you have any plans of herding them into enemy guild territory? "Since the temple's "citizens" were all undead anyway, I don't believe their wanderings matter all that much. They'll track down the smell of living flesh soon enough, or I could always find a cleric to herd them, it doesn't matter. Our plans are beyond what we can say snake man. Saying what they are would be telling, and we cannot have that."
Demonfey 01-02-06, 12:27 AM	Just curious. And good point about the undead population in the area. You might prefer the cleric idea to corral them, but that's just my personal opinion. Now, onto other matters: first off, are you going to honor the alliance between the Guild of Ultimate Evil and the Temple that was set up before your, shall we say, maneuver to take command? Using scent to try and pick out anything odd about the apparent human's scent, just PM me about it. Just PM the results, if you'd prefer, and I won't comment about anything. If you think that undead stench would be overpowering in the area, still, just let me know.

I didn't think the federation would be so depraved as to kidnap a child messanger. But it seems as though they have proven me wrong." The man shifts in the seat and kicks out his feet. Resting his head on a fist with his elbow on the armrest. "But, since they have chosen to ignore us, then it is very likely they wont be... whats the word." He looks toward the sky with a thoughtful look. "Alive... for much longer. Cocky, I know, but thats how it is."
Zombomaniac 01-02-06, 12:37 AM	Out of Character Knowledge If you read through the posts you will see that Jacob took the kid to the Halls of Refuge. He wasn't about to leave the kid there after what the Federation did. You can claim him at the Halls.

Zombomaniac 01-02-06, 12:41 AM	I have noticed, but in the eyes of the character, an example must be made. Oh I know your still going to attack I just felt I should make sure you know about the kid.
Demonfey 01-02-06, 12:44 AM	My boss took a ten year old trained as an Ur Priest as his apprentice. Don't expect sympathy on that one, I know too well that kids aren't always what they seem. Also, did you ever try, oh, I don't know, letting them know that the child is your son? I mean, they'd realize that, naturally, if the daddy came home after killing the self proclaimed Lord of the Damned, then of course the kid would know that Sargatanas is dead. I mean, if you were unaware of the fact, and then some kid you never had seen before came waltzing in proclaiming the brother of the queen was dead, and you hadn't heard the news prior to that, wouldn't you be a little freaked out by the kid? I mean seriously, how would the kid know? And since you were new on the scene, no one would have known that you would have a kid, and so assumptions don't work. Anyway, that's the Stormhand. One of the GoUE tried to extract the child, and...sorry, I don't know your child's name, what is it?...well, he'll probably end up at the Halls of Refuge, where he'll be perfectly safe with the Apostle of Peace there and all the healers.

"Yes, I suppose I can get him there. But the insult must still be met with the proper response. They locked away my child, and a messanger at that. If they believe they can do such a thing with no consequences, then they are sorely mistaken." The young man smiles wickedly as he leans foreward in the throne until his chest is almost parallel with his legs. "They shall suffer for their insults... of course... if they wish for their people to be spared, they could simply deliver me the man who locked my son away. What better way to die than in sacrifice to for your people?" His grin widens before fading back into a small smirk. "Wouldn't you agree?"
turalisj 01-02-06, 12:55 AM	Denrik entered the temple, and you could swear his etched in eyebrows raised when he saw theman on the throne. Hmm, I take it you are the killler of Sargantas and the one who sent the boy? It is an honor to meet one as powerfull as yourself. Do we need to do character entrances again now that there's a new boss?
Demonfey 01-02-06, 01:02 AM	Nhyris's eyes become slits of wrath I WILL NOT LET INFIGHTING OCCUR, HERE! THE FEDERATION, LIKE IT OR NOT, IS THE ALLY OF THE GUILD OF ULTIMATE EVIL! WE ARE BOUND TO HELP THEM, AND THEY US! YOU SPEAK OF DESTROYING ALLIANCES AND STANDING ALONE, NOW! With that outburst, Nhyris begins composing himself, now glowering at the man Listen, we need every possible ally, every bit of land, everything we have to win. We don't need weakening from within. If you want to retaliate for the imprisonment of your son, fine, but don't be surprised if bold fools decide to take a life that you seem to value from you. After all, there is always cause and effect. Think about that. With that, the snake person rises to full height, uncoils, and leaves the hall.
Zombomaniac 01-02-06, 01:12 AM	Hey Pythos if you want we can do some RP at the Halls. The kid waking up and such. It would create some good RP and kill time. Besides its a good way to give half answers that raise more questions then they answer. Make people want to figure you out even more.
Pytho_Orthan 01-02-06, 01:13 AM	Nhyris's eyes become slits of wrath I WILL NOT LET INFIGHTING OCCUR, HERE! THE FEDERATION, LIKE IT OR NOT, IS THE ALLY OF THE GUILD OF ULTIMATE EVIL!

If they wanted to keep allies so badly, then it would have been in their best interests not to kidnap my son." The young man turns to look at the warforged as he entered. He nodded a greeting and smiled. "That is the question isn't it? I am perfectly willing to take the reins of this temple. But that is up to you folks, who serve here and believe in it's goals." "I would love to unite the world, simply not in the way the crazed undead lord wished. He sought to bring the world crashing down around everyone. Killing everything and murdrering folks to fuel his mad rampage. We know much more about him than you do." "You see, before he died, he confessed everything. He told us his plans, he told us what he would do, and it was not pretty. It did not look good for the federation, nor the guild of ultimate evil. You see, this lord of the temple had always intended to destroy both when the time was right."
Demonfey 01-02-06, 01:16 AM	Lots and lots of aircraft. Can disperse, go across the sea, and reform. Also, with claimed territory, we have loads of rock that we can deposit from high in the air. God I love the ability to plan ahead.
turalisj 01-02-06, 01:27 AM	Denrik looked as amazed as a warforged could, the orb on his chest glowing. Yes, that's what I heard too. No, I can't believe someone would send their own flesh and blood into a death trap like that either. Why don't you ask him yourself? Ok, ok, fine. Dentrik seemed to be talking to himself when his voice changed. I would like to know, just what Kind of a father are you? Sending your own child to send a message when you know there is a chance that he couldbe captured! Shame, shame. Not even those Xen'drik barbarians do such things. His voice seemed to change once more, Sorry for my other half's rudeness. He can be somewhat blunt at times.

Demonfey 01-02-06, 01:32 AM	Nhyris comes back in, muttering something about stupid undead intestines clogging the blade of a zepellin and keeping it from turning, and then notices Denrik Ah, there you are, Denrik. You seem damaged to a large extent. Report to the repair bay, I'll get Ballista to see to your repairs.
Demonfey 01-02-06, 01:35 AM	Ya thats good, but you have to land sometime. My plans dont require that though. :rolleyes: Not all of them. And I'm even now working on ways to bypass having to land at all.

"Well, considering among the two of us I am the one who has the proper equipment to have children, I shall deal with them as I see fit. I did not believe that the people of the Stormhand Federation would be so heartless as to attack a small child." "In fact, I didn't want him to go, but he insisted, saying he wanted to make sure everybody knew 'the bad man was dead.'" Cracking his knuckles the young man places his hands behind his head. "Now there metal man, did you come here to accuse me of bad parenting, or for some other purpose?"
Zombomaniac 01-02-06, 01:43 AM	Not all of them. And I'm even now working on ways to bypass having to land at all. Dang. If both our plans work then land and air will be under perfect control. :eek:
Demonfey 01-02-06, 01:49 AM	Strangely enough, I've even gotten ideas for soarwood surfboards. I don't know why. Anyway, as is, the warforged don't eat, the things that do eat have some kind of aerial transport (kobold druids with eagles that all have enough HD to be medium creatures, aarakocra), and characters can easily procure their own means off. Of course to load up with stone for a bombing run would require landing, but that'll be limited to two ships at most landing for getting materials.

If you landed in a known area then you would ikly have the whole fleet there so an attack on that woundn't matter much since it would be hard to kill a whole fleet o airships. If you have a secret rock supply depot then one or two ships landing will be no problem since no one is likely to know about the place.
turalisj 01-02-06, 01:56 AM	My other half has its own mind. And I personally do not care what kind of parent you are. I have aided the kings of the empires of Xen'drik, seen them beat thier own children and things far worse than what you have done. You are now the 'king' as it is, of these halls. Rule how you see fit. It is not my place to tell you how to rule. Now, if you would be so kind as to excuse me, I need to repair my body from trying to bring back your child. Denrik said, walking off towads the repair bay.
Demonfey 01-02-06, 02:00 AM	If you landed in a known area then you would ikly have the whole fleet there so an attack on that woundn't matter much since it would be hard to kill a whole fleet o airships. If you have a secret rock supply depot then one or two ships landing will be no problem since no one is likely to know about the place. I like to call that area the entire district. And it wouldn't really be that much of a secret. Also, at least three ships will be required to fly at an altitude of at least 1000 feet above the ground at all times. :D
Demonfey 01-02-06, 06:02 PM	Look, here's the situation outside as of right now: a bunch of the more mindless undead got too close to one of the prop blades, and are now chopped up into little bits. Unfortunately, they're also jamming up that blade's ability to turn just from the sheer number that got too close. So can we borrow a long, spiky stick, or something like that?
turalisj 01-02-06, 06:46 PM	Can the propeller blades be turned off? If so, then we can just go in there and take the pieces out.
Sargatanas 01-05-06, 01:20 PM	A large black figure moves through the halls of the Temple. It's eyes shine red in the dim light, the glow of yellow and orange eyes follow it down the halls in a dark sea. The creature emerges into the throne room of the temple, fully sixteen feet in height it growls toward the human on the throne. Moving toward the human, it leans down and places a claw, as large as the human is, on each side of the throne. "A puny human is ruler here? No, that won't do. Move swine, or I'll gut you. Then we'll see how much of your insides I can eat before you die."
Wilds 01-05-06, 01:28 PM	Incarin's head pops out of a wall. "This is gana be good. What you think Onyx?" "food" Incarin shakes his head then pulls it back into the wall
thasis 01-05-06, 01:50 PM	A letter flows into the Temple of the Dammned for the new Droga. Sargantas, I sent you it in PM.
Zombomaniac 01-05-06, 08:09 PM	Pythos has left the forums.
Wilds 01-05-06, 08:55 PM	As in the account has been deleted? In that case I vote that Sarg either gets his old character back or gets reimbursed for what happened
Zombomaniac 01-05-06, 09:10 PM	No he just left. He could come back if he wanted to, but he desided that he wasn't going to deal with al the crap we put him through so he left. Dyne might also be leaving. I'm not sure about that one.
Wilds 01-05-06, 09:15 PM	Pytho Deleted his account and made a new one. He has no posts listed at all. Go look up the account. Pytho-orthan has no posts. If you cant take the heat dont jump into the frying pan sheeze.
Zombomaniac 01-05-06, 09:18 PM	If you cant take the heat dont jump into the frying pan sheeze. Well at first the frying pan was nice and cold. Then someone turned on the heat and throw on some gasoline just for the heck of it. And dont start that "its his falt" crap.
Wilds 01-05-06, 09:22 PM	Ok my bad Just confused as too why Pytho registers as having never made a single post. So confused :confused:
Orcy The Green Wonder 01-05-06, 10:25 PM	Ok my bad Just confused as too why Pytho registers as having never made a single post. So confused :confused: The guild house is outside the post count, as Orcy believes much of the WIZARDS.COMmunity section is. So, though Orcy posts all the time here, his own post count hasn't increased in quite some time. If you take note, many of the people who have created a character simply for these games do not have post counts.
Wilds 01-06-06, 10:52 AM	OOOO Ok that makes sense and would also explain why my post count was really low.
Sargatanas 01-06-06, 02:17 PM	Well then, since he's gone. Wether he leaves or the droga has to get into limb ripping fun... The massive creature turns from the throne and looks out at the others, if any still remain. It's eyes shine in the dim light as it smiles wickedly. "I am the new ruler here. If there are any that wish to challenge my claim, let them step forth. If not, then this temple is now in the hands of the Black Skull clan. We shall bring glory and strength! The world shall tremble at the very mention of our name!"
Wilds 01-06-06, 02:28 PM	Incarin walks out of the wall. "What are you exactly?" A shadow wraps around a corner and stops behind Incarin. A draconic head can be seen swinging around inside the shadow
Sargatanas 01-06-06, 03:50 PM	The creature looks toward the man and grins. Tapping a claw on the ground infront of it for a moment before raising it high into the air. It grasps at something unseen and waves it's claw across the room. "I am Droga of the Black Skull Clan. I am the shadows, the thing that stalks the night. I am the darkness, the very thing that even children learn to fear. I am that fear made manifest... I am skygge."
Wilds 01-06-06, 10:13 PM	"O" Echos out of the wall The shadow becomes consistant forming into a dragon. "I am Onyx, I beleive we are from the same plane"
Sargatanas 01-06-06, 11:30 PM	Remember that incoporeal blocking magic? Its still in effect. Just to inform ya. I'll post some RP later.
Wilds 01-07-06, 10:45 AM	Ok I couldnt remember if that was here or the GoVE Incarin is shunteded out of the wall. He falls to a knee, a small dribble of blood runs from his mouth. "That was ..... pleasent."
Sargatanas 01-07-06, 01:29 PM	Droga laughs and looks the man over as he is flung out of the wall. He then turns to look down at the shadowy dragon, rubbing his chin with a large claw. "Perhaps similar lands, but I do not recall creatures of your like upon Dromkar. Now, do you have a challenge, or do you accept my rule in this place? This temple shall rise again as a might force. It shall bring fear into the hearts of all that hear it's name. A fitting name, for all those that stand against us shall be damned, and doomed to die. Now, where are the half elves, I wish to... meet them." The grin spreading across the Droga's face could be described as nothing less that sinister.
Wilds 01-07-06, 02:22 PM	"I wish no such challenge" "Are you not of the shadow plane?"
Sargatanas 01-08-06, 12:28 AM	"No, I am from Dromkar. Dromkar borders upon the plane of shadow, but it is not the same. The skygge travel there often, but we are not... native."
Wilds 01-08-06, 11:26 AM	"O" Onyx swings his head low. "Either way I pledge to help your fight to exterminate light." Incarin looks up from his hands. "I pledge to help too"
thasis 01-09-06, 04:43 PM	Thasis the Evil sitting in the background says toward Fang "Incase you didn't know I'm a Skygge also". He then turns to the other Skygge "And being, it seems you are new hear. The Half-Elves have seemed to have fled. I hear they are regrouping though. Oh, to properly introduce myself, I'm Thasis the Evil. The leader of the Guild of Ultimate Evil. I'm staying in the shadows for now mainly putting my advice in where it's necessary. I'm not in any condition to be fighting".
Wilds 01-09-06, 05:36 PM	Fang is the GoVE only, Incarin is here
thasis 01-12-06, 02:08 PM	Thasis looks around and disapears into the shadows again, becoming silent. Might post some more today, dunno... I'll definetly being doing posting toomarow.
Sargatanas 01-12-06, 06:39 PM	Droga raises his clawed hand into the air again and slams it down onto the ground in a fist. He roars loudly and sends unseen scouts out through the land, before calling out in his booming voice. "Now, let us gather all who dwell here, all who are dedicated to this place. I call upon all of you who would seek to remain loyal to this Temple. Come forth you creatures and beasts that dwell within the temple. Let us prepare for war!"
jagggar 01-12-06, 06:41 PM	Hey, Sargatanas, I moved your gift for the exchange from your previous character to your current character. If ya don't mind, ya mind droppin' by as your Droga self and pickin' a present? If not, I can probably find someone else to do so.
