Rebirth of Destruction Discussion II

[Krylo]

New thread.

Link to the sign up thread with all the info. I'm going to add this to all the discussion threads when I start them, so that when it falls back, people can find it easily if they want to join/check some of the info:

http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=2033

Edit: I was going to PM them in a bit if people wanted, but that works too, IHMN.

[IHateMakingNames]

batgirl now knows of this RPs existence (She responded and linked to here...)

In process of trying to convice Celes...

[Darth SS]

I haft been called here by IHMN.

For some reason. That I do not know.

[IHateMakingNames]

I called you because we need other people, and we were curious as to why some poeple were not joining. After I sent the PMs they talked about how you didn't like the book this RP is very similar to or something...

(Celes is getting closer to joining...)

[Darth SS]

No, I absolutely LOVED those books. And I was just curious about how Krylo made this up, because the intro coincided perfectly with them.

But, da. What do you need? An axe-wielding psychopath?

[IHateMakingNames]

As I remember it, krylo is basing it off a MUD/IM RP he did with Ren (Like the god Alcurd was his evil faerie guy from the MUD). Maybe that MUD was based off that book...

And krylo, that link doesn't work.

[Krylo]

You know, if she doesn't want to join you shouldn't bug her. Just explain to her that neither I nor Ren have read Bedlam's Bard... and in my case at least, anything at all by Mercedes Lackey (is that the right name?), and I wrote up just about everything, Ren just helps out because she's more experienced and knows more about some things... like sidhe faeries, so it's pretty much impossible for it to be based on the book.

Also, I promise no bards unless a person makes one, no healing the god of destruction (he's always been crazy, by the way), and no half-faeries.

[IHateMakingNames]

Her main problem is writers block. I'm just suggesting characters to her.

[Krylo]

Ahh, alright then.

Also: If she wants a Seelie Faerie she can be a decent mage... (just not as masterful as FZ exactly). Kind of a bonus for someone creating a kind of character the co-gm wants.

And... I fixed the link. I stupidly copy pasted the truncated link with the "..." taking place for some of it.

[Forever Zero]

Well, is there anything she's looking for? She usually ends up in somehwat the healer role, so is she looking for something different? Does she want to post here and let us give ideas?

[IHateMakingNames]

I mentioned that. So far she has chosen a Neried (I listed all the races that are humanoid females along with what would be her best choice(s) to use as that character).

(Reposted)

She is joining tomarrow, her character is almost decided.

She is being a Neried (Can she have a minor in some water spells? Nothing to major.). She may have some secondary skills in healing or something, I think she got off before I sent the PM with that in it.

Oh, and she's being Vlad's slave. (With good reasons)

[Darth SS]

So, do you guys want me to join?

[IHateMakingNames]

My guess is yes, they want you to join.

Note that you can't be a mage or pscionic, but you can have fighting magic type things.

What kind of character do you want? I'll give you some suggestions on what would fit that.

[Krylo]

Yes she can have some water spells. I think a slight alteration of water shield would be good for her (normally it surrounds in water and allows you to breath it... her version would drop the breathing bit), being a neried.

And yah, we wouldn't mind having you around either, SS. And as, IHMN said, you can't be a master mage/psioncist, but you can have a few weak utility spells or attack spells... or just a couple psionic powers.

[IHateMakingNames]

How long can a Neried survive out of water anyway? And how long would she have to stay in water to be ready to go back to land after being on land for a while?

And are Nerieds always human looking, or mermaid looking in water?

[Darth SS]

I kinda' wanted to do a full out skirmisher. Like, no psychic powers or anything, but a beast when it comes to straight-forward fighting.

[IHateMakingNames]

I suggest an Dwarf, or maybe a Lizard Man (Phsycially lizard men are strong right?)

An orc would be good, but usually they are slaves...

Edit - All other strong things are really stupid, and usually hunted, killed, or enslaved.

[Krylo]

Lizard man would be good, yes. Also, I believe Nerieds were the race that could change into 'water' if they wanted. Like the things in that movie... the abyss I think it was called? I'll check and see if I have any pre-determined info on how long they can survive without water too.

Edit: The nerieds, [...] and have some powers that nymphs do not, such as the ability to perfectly meld with the waters of the sea, becoming invisible and immaterial while within that state.

Also, I didn't have anything predetermined, but I'm going to say a few days before they die... about 10 hours before they begin weakening... at around 16 hours they start struggling for life... etc.

And, if they get in before the 10 hours are up, they only have to be in about one or two hours to set that timer back all the way... if it's after that, however, it could take up to a day before their strength comes back.

Edit Again: Also, humans don't like anything not human. They just don't bother with some races... deeming them unusable and not worth hunting. But that doesn't mean they'll be happy to have one in a human city. That's also a generalization. Some humans don't care about races, and many wouldn't care about killing/hurting them... but would still look down on them.

[IHateMakingNames]

SS and Forever should probably find a way to meet eachother, just so they aren't alone. Best way I see is Forever hiring a mercenary for his little adventure (Maybe a friend of the lizard guy who's a better tracker, cannon fodder for the temple...)

Edit - Ok, that makes sense... Basically, we would just have to rest around some water (Assuming that when we all meet we will be traveling). Since while she is with Vlad in his castle that won't be a problem...

Edit 2 - Opps.. I forgot to tell Celes my guy is a vampire... And a pscionic...

[Ren]

Biran also needs to meet up with some dudes.

[Forever Zero]

Maybe he could accidently run into the Lizard Man hiring some mercenaries. I planned on Zalbag getting some sort of warrior caste from the Order, but the lizard man could just get mercenaries instead, saying that the orders warriors are all already busy or something. That would let Biran and SS join up as mercenaries.

[Krylo]

Also, on the lizardmen... seeing FZ's post, they'd probably be accepted amongst mages, more or less. Due to the mix of general mage arrogance (All beings are lesser than me, regardless of race), and the fact that mages are disliked by everyone else anyway.

[Darth SS]

Actually, I jsut had an idea...

If this don't work, I'm gonna' do one of those possessed suits of armour.

Could I play as a human, that had a demon imprisonned within him? Kinda' like Naruto, except this one's pissed and bloodthirsty.

[Krylo]

Um... Neither I or Ren particularily like the possessed idea.

Also, the Xodar aren't possessed, they're animated. Kinda like rockmen... they are really cool though.

[Dante]

If you start lusting after ramen and Sakura I shall call the Orochimaru smackdown upon you... heh heh heh...

[Ren]

GODdamn Naruto geeks!

[IHateMakingNames]

Xodar... I never even noticed them... I would think that Vlad might have a couple of them around his castle... (Not SS though, Forever and Biran need to meet people).

And what is Naruto?

[Darth SS]

Okay, suit of armour it is.

One question though....can't I take my head off and put stuff inside of it?

(Been reading some of Squidi's stuff.)

EDIT- And I didn't get the idea from Naruto. I got the idea by reading about Inquisitor Quixos again in my Daemonhunters codex. So I believe you want to say damn Warhammer 40k geeks.

[Ren]

A seriously overhyped anime with a cult following.

[Krylo]

When you mentioned it, it brought back memories of the worst roleplayer ever (a guy by the name of grakaron), but yah... mostly it's just because the bad-guy is already possessed by a 'demon' of sorts.

And, yah, you can take your head off... I don't know about keeping things in it though... unless they're small. Inside the armor is a swirling black vortex of magic that comprises energies keeping the xodar alive.

[IHateMakingNames]

Wouldn't the items just fall out of the bottom of the armor?

[Darth SS]

So knocking someone out, then sticking them inside of me, then posing as one of those suits of armour in castles wouldn't work?


EDIT- WH40k ain't an anime though. It's a tablestop modelling/strategy game.

[IHateMakingNames]

Wait... Are Xodar complete suits of armor, or only parts of floating armor in a humanoid shape? (Like a helmet is flaoting above the chest part, then two metal gaultlets off to the side, then two metal leggings floating below the chest part.)

[Krylo]

Full armor, but many of them have helmets that don't have face plates. Or they'll lose an arm temporarily, etc. That's how people know what's inside of them...

And yah, you couldn't stick someone inside of you. You could pose as a suit of armor in a castle though.

[Darth SS]

Nice! I'm SO doing it!

Get hit by a particularily heavy hammer or something, and I go to peices.

"PUT ME BACK TOGETHER DAMMIT!"

[IHateMakingNames]

Can an Xodar commicate in any way?

And if they posses some other armor, would their current armor just fell apart on the floor where they used to be?

[Squishy Cheeks]

Tyranids Rule!

[Darth SS]

Pfft, Tyranids....

Daemonhunters will crush them any day.

But anyways...must get around to making character.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Please my lictors would fleshhook you to death, well my genestealers and warriors maul your frontlines. not to mention my psionic warriors. and carnifexes.

[Krylo]

IHMN--They can only control the armor they're a part of, and they have short range telepathy.

SS--They could put themselves together.

[Darth SS]

Daemonhunters don't have frontlines you know.

I mean, come on. Most basic troop has a 3+ plus save, all this anti-psychic stuff, t5, s7, a storm bolter, and can take an INCINERATOR.

And besides, two words that spell doom for 'nids. Orbital Strike.

But, if you wanna' continue this argument, take it over to

http://www.librarium-online.com/forum Entire forum dedicated to warhammer in all its forms. (I'm Long_Shot)

And I promise I'll get around to making that char!

[IHateMakingNames]

It's not that hard. You don't really have a will of your own.

Just say you are a guard for the Dragon Guild. That would let Forever take you with him, and he would have a PC to interact with.

[Darth SS]

Damn...I hate that will-less thing....there goes my character idea....


"Hi, I'm a wandering suit of armuor. Could ya' tell me where I could-What? No seriously, I am a suit of armour." *removes head*

Damnitydamnity...must think of some sort of character.

[Squishy Cheeks]

well nids are infiltrators and swarmers. and everyone has frontlines. I prefer clan war it's a bit more interesting in terms of tabletop strategy.

[IHateMakingNames]

If you want to stay with the possesing thing, go with a Vagabond (Race 2, second to last).

If not, just go back to a lizard man or dwarf for power.

[Forever Zero]

How about some sort of Minotour berserker? Minotours are strong in Stregth and Constituition, with a minor bonus to willpower. They are independant, very strong, and make good warriors overall. Give him two axes and throw him at the enemy and BAM, instant hero.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I still like my naga as the strongest character thank you.

[IHateMakingNames]

Your tail is not super powerful. You swing it at a minator, they will catch it then swing your naga around.

Edit - I had forgotten about minatours. That is probably the best choice for phsyical power while not being a complete idiot or slave.

[Darth SS]

Name: Kar
Occupation: Guard for the DragonGuild.
Race: Xodar
Skills: He kills things. And he's good at taking care of armour and weapons.
Appearance: http://store.us.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.us?do=Odd&odd=NewLayout&_do=List_Models&code=5862 that knight guy on the right
Bio: (will be filled in later)

[Squishy Cheeks]

I just realized who IHMN's character reminds me of My friend Malcolm's comic charachter Slappy the Vampire Pimp.

[IHateMakingNames]

I just remembered a question that was never answered...

Would a vampire be able to be underwater for several hours? Since they are undead, a vampire would not have to breath (But probably do out of habit since they used to be mortal). I see no reason why a vampire couldn't stay underwater all the time...

[Krylo]

Yes, a vampire could stay under water for quite awhile. Not having to breath has that advantage.

[Squishy Cheeks]

just off hand in terms of strength who would win in a fight me or Nephemael

[Ren]

Neph is a pussy.

I mean, a wonderful, devoted, strong Knight. Uh. Probably the Naga if you're figuring strength.

Also, get back to MSTing!

[IHateMakingNames]

Faerie aren't a physically strong race (According to the race bio of them), so I would guess your naga.

Any of us could take a faerie in terms of physical strenght really...

[Krylo]

In terms of strength? You... in terms of 'We each have a weapon and are fighting half-way intelligently,' currently Neph. He has pretty decent magic as well as being able to fly and being pretty good with a sword. Although, if you managed to snag him with the tail, he'd probably be mostly fucked.

[Squishy Cheeks]

He seems to have over confidence issues. And I could use Hooke's law to my advantage.

[IHateMakingNames]

Is Neph really that weak compared to Jareth (Forgot name...), or did he infact just underestimate him and Jareth got semi-lucky?

[Krylo]

If Jareth could teleport, he'd have beaten the living hell out of Neph (given some odd reason for him to actually fight despite being able to teleport away)... but teleportation was blocked, and given that they're about equal.

It was partially Neph underestimated him, and partially Jareth was just trying to run and not do much damage. Running is always easier than sticking around to fight.

[Ren]

Is Neph really that weak compared to Jareth (Forgot name...), or did he infact just underestimate him and Jareth got semi-lucky?

Jareth is actually a rather powerful faerie, but his main strengths are running, which is why he got away from Neph. Neph is really a strong magic swordsman. He's also a complete ass.

Edit: Renesival would kick both their asses.

[IHateMakingNames]

What is Jareth anyway exactly? He seems like a mix of mage and psionic... Mainly because of his wind spells, then his dimension walking...

[Krylo]

Teleport spell, actually... not dimension walking. It's one of the spells that would be in the complete list if I had bothered finishing the spell list before posting it here.

He just uses the spell so damn much, he's able to do it instantaneously.

[IHateMakingNames]

And you were worried about my guy being to powerful...

[Krylo]

Yah... but only because your guy's powers are offensive. Jareth's are mostly parlor tricks or defensive.

[Forever Zero]

Hmm, I noticed something. For the entry for Faeries, it says, "Poison Spread Rate: Above Average". Does this mean if poisoned, they are effected faster then normal, or slower then normal? I realized with a lack of iron gear, my guys main weapon, magic, is halved agianst faeries. He might pick up an iron warhammer later to replace the silver one, although he would keep the silver armor, but if he was able to cast some sort of poison, would it be effetive against Faeries?

[Krylo]

Only slightly more so. Above average isn't huge...

Poison spreads a bit more quickly because they have to have a faster metabolism to make energy for their wings... which means a higher heart rate... which means blood flows faster, thus poison spreads faster.

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, you could easily switch around parlor tricks and defense abilities to be offensive...

And I just had an intresting idea... If my guy used fate link with a faerie, then put iron up against his arm, would the faerie's arm begin to burn?

(My guy has a iron short sword by the way, since FZ brought it up)

Edit - Why aren't vampires added to the races?

[Forever Zero]

Because any race can be a vampire, so it isn't it's own race. It's more of a status effect then a race, so at best vampirism would get a notation for rules and abilites of a vampire.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I can see it now.....


Neph: Learn your place Naga.
J: Tell me what do you know about Hooke's Law? [He begins to play with the very tip of his tail tightly coiling it.]
Neph: What!?
J: Hooke was a naga scientist that worked with a studying objects under tension. All of this was before the humans destryoyed our civilization, but we still have kept our records intact.
Neph: What does this have to do with anything?
J: Well ol' Hooke worked mostly with springs which are of great interst to nagas for obvious reasons.... Trajectory... Check. Pressure.... check *Sproing*
Neph: OWWW!!! MY EYES!!! YOU BLINDED MY EYES!!!
[Jormungand sends a ripple down his spine cracking his vertebrae loudly and then crosses his arms and shakes his head.]

[Krylo]

Plus, I'm lazy... and don't want to edit the race files anymore.

And... no. If you got burned, they'd get burned... and vice versa. Basically it just makes both people in the link get injured by the same amount.

Mostly it'd just be good for something like if you were in Jareth's situation. In prison... right, so you stick a fate link on someone, demonstrate that you are indeed linked... stick that person in the cell, and leave. They couldn't hurt you because if they did they'd hurt the person in the cell as well.

Edit: Well, you could easily switch around parlor tricks and defense abilities to be offensive...

Sort of... but the reason Jareth is so adept at running away, and not hurting people is because he doesn't like to hurt people. Also, it's pretty hard to use gust of wind as more than a distraction, wind shields aren't going to hurt anyone, and neither are magic shields. His teleport mastery and skill with a blade could be used to kill pretty easily... but he only uses that when he's very pissed off.

This is the reason that a Jareth pissed off enough to murder is very scary...

It's only about equal to what others can do though.

I mean, sure Jareth can teleport to someone and stab them... but you can take over someone's mind and have them stab themselves... transform into a bear... psychic blast someone into submission, make someone start seeing delusions, etc. And you're a vampire that can walk around in the daylight. Had you chosen, you could have tossed that black smith around with one hand instead of dominating him.

[IHateMakingNames]

After going back and finding the Vampire Bio, I noticed something...

Disease Susceptibility: 0% physical, 75% mental, 75%magical

What does that mean exactly?

And it says above average for poison spread, yet vampires are immune to most poisons...

Edit 2 - Wouldn't being 0% physical mean even blood diseases would not affect a vampire?

Edit - And wouldn't a vampire be able to recover from being burnt? It says a vamp can't...

[Squishy Cheeks]

You can't catch a cold, but psychosis, and magical virus will still affect you

[Krylo]

Exactly, Jad. And the poisons are if you eat a bunch of garlic or something.

And they can recover from a small burn... but they can be burnt to death. I should probably have worded that differently. What I meant is that burns are one of the only three things that they can't always survive.

[IHateMakingNames]

Oh, Mr. V PMed me back. Said he is in to many RPs to join another. (He's hanging onto Vera and FF, thinking they aren't dead...)

[Krylo]

I'd be posting in the FF one if I had anything to do... Vera seems pretty dead though... Also, I edited my post on the seventh page... not sure if you noticed because it was right on the bottom of the page, so you'd have to read back to see.

[IHateMakingNames]

I know I could have just smacked the blacksmith around, but that has no style. And it's so much eviler the way I did it.

ANd that bear transformation thing brought up a question... If Vlad metamorphed into a Minatour, would he be as strong as one?

Edit - Not just a minatour, but a vampire minatour?

[Krylo]

No... but he could stab people with his horns. He would get a little stronger, due to the extra mass... but not THAT much. I brought up the bear because some bears have twelve inch claws... and very thick skin/fur, making them hard to hurt.

[IHateMakingNames]

I am disappointed, but also pleased, seeing as that would infact make Vlad very strong and would hinder my chances of growth through out the RP (I can still do that right?)

[Krylo]

Yes you can... just so long as you don't make yourself into some sort of Le Magra, to blatantly rip off Blade.

[IHateMakingNames]

I can't have myself be cut in half, then instantly reconnect with a giant thing of blood?

Aw...

[Forever Zero]

Last place to check in... I won't be posting today, so you might want to avoid putting me in any key points, IE is SS joins, if he goes up to my char for any reason to talk, I won't be responding. Just a minor warning. If I do my huge prject early, I'll be back on today.

[Darth SS]

I just have quick thing to ask about Kar's will-less thing.


I was going to have it manifest as him being dumb, and easy to manipulate.

"If you do it, there might be some polish in it for you..."
"POLISH!" *does it*
"Aw, sorry no polish. But have I got a job for you..."
"OOH, JOB!"

and then you could easily distract him with like...
"LOOK! A WALL!"
"WHERE!?"

so, could I make him like that?

[CelesJessa]

Hello. ^^ I know IHMN has been mentioning about me joining the RP so... I'd better post in the discussion thread.
Now, to business. (if this is considered business)

I suppose I'll have to write up a bio, and I'll get on that ASAP. And do the names (if they're faery-like people, I think I'm a Neried) Do they have to have traditional faery-like names or is just any fantasy-ish name alright?

But I'll get to work on my bio. Thankies for letting me join. (er, well. I don't know if it's OFFICIAL yet, but...) ^^;;

And is Vlad the villain? (I just wanna try and get the story straight ^^ )

[IHateMakingNames]

http://www.lavendise.com/eldanar/

Go to that site and download the first translator. That's the language Ren uses for her characters spells (And to get some Faerie names I think). You might not need it, but might as well have a translator.

And yes, it is offical. (I also brought SS back into this)

The (main) story so far doesn't involve anyone but Ren, kyrlo, and Jad... Vlad isn't the villian, some troll with a necklace is. Vlad would be a chaotic good character... He's mean, but he will be on the good guys side. Though if for story reasons a good guy goes evil, Vlad will most likely be that character.

Edit - If you haven't, go read Ren's recap of the RP in the first post of the omake thread. It goes up till my last post in the RP.

[CelesJessa]

Edit - If you haven't, go read Ren's recap of the RP in the first post of the omake thread. It goes up till my last post in the RP.
Yeah. I've already read that, JADs MSTing (heheh. Priceless. I love MST3K!), and a little of the actual story. ^^;

Oh yeah. Is there anything extra I should know about the powers and such of a Neried? (I know some of the stuff, I just wanna make sure I won't be missing anything)

[IHateMakingNames]

You can turn invisible and immaterial while in water (Basically become water). You also start with some weak water magic.

Edit - And for your bio, I am assuming you want to be a completely new slave (No previous masters) for reasons I will not mention, so you would just have to put that she lives in water, came to land for whatever reason, got captured, Vlad tricked hunters and got her for free/cheap. (Obviously you could add more)

[Squishy Cheeks]

or you know she could not be YOUR slave. Shesh your getting bad about this.

[IHateMakingNames]

Or it's that she has already picked that her character will be my guy's slave (Through PMs)

Though now that I look back, she could be part of the stalkers guild... Though her race choice makes more sense as a slave (Since it does say that they are often slaves in the Neried bio)

Edit - It would also put her with two other PCs from the start. (Me and Ecurt)

[CelesJessa]

It's alright. I agreed... as long as he wouldn't try anything. *glances menacingly at IHMN*
^^; heh.

Also:
Edit - It would also put her with two other PCs from the start. (Me and Ecurt)

I like how that works out, it gives me a better reason for jumping in the story than just jumping in and being like, "Hey! I just feel like joining you guys for no appearant reason!"
Plus Ecurt needs another PC slave to talk and plot escapes with. Heheh.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Your just asking for trouble I tells you. Besides your joining a non advancing part of the story. Krylo, Ren and I are where it's at right now. Besides you don't want me to make slut jokes in the Myst.

[IHateMakingNames]

My NPC Faerie will bring about slut jokes anyway.

And everyone will be part of the main story soon enough.

Edit - Everyone else is in a story, just a side one that isn't important.

[Ren]

*flexes her GMistress muscles*

It's completely up to her who she starts out with, be it Vlad's slave or even a lesser noble or servant or commoner or something in Seelie Court. Or Unseelie Court. Whichever.

[Krylo]

Yah, what Ren said... Also, SS... I'd rather he be stoic-ish, as that it's kind of hard for me to imagine a silly stupid suit of armor, but... I think I'll allow it. Just so long as you stay in some semblance of reason, and are able to act serious when things get dire... and just so long as Ren doesn't have a problem. She ran off to the video store right after getting on for a minute so I didn't get a chance to discuss it with her.

However, it'd be more believable to have a lizardman or giant act like that... of course, something opposite of what is normally expected may be just what you're going for, so whatever.

[Darth SS]

Well, he's easy to manipulate. But like a little kid, he's not gonna' believe what the guy he was just told to smush says.

[IHateMakingNames]

Your guy seems like he would be no threat to anything or anyone..

"Go attack that guy!"
*Goes to attack that guy*
"No, attack him!"
"Turns around*
"Attack him damnit!"
*Turns around again*
and so on...

[Squishy Cheeks]

And can someone post something in the omake thread so I don't feel like i'm spamming.



Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam. Spammity spam. wonderful spam. spammity spam wonderful spam.

Bloody Vikings.

[CelesJessa]

Here's my character bio. It's not very specific, so I hope it's alright. ^^;

Name: Aidelyn (you can call her Ai for short... maybe)
Occupation: Slave. >_<;
Race: Neried
Skills: She can turn invisible and immaterial while in water Can also start with some weak water magic. Also a water barrior type thing (I think Krylo mentioned it back on the 2nd page or something)
Appearance: "Nerieds look like Nymphs, who look like human females...." I'll think of the specifics later.
Bio: Aidelyn lived in water (duh) as all Nerieds do. She was a rather mischievious Neried and wandered away from her water home often to spy on humans and other races (not staying away from her water for too long). She usually was fairly good at keeping herself hidden, but one day, she wandered a bit to close to a slave trader, trying to see what he was doing with all of the Nymphs and other creatures, and she got captured herself. The slave trader thought she was a Nymph so he didn't know her need to be around water... luckily (if lucky is what you'd call it), before long, she got bought by another (Vlad) and is currently being shipped off in some cart to who-knows-where...

[Squishy Cheeks]

Thanks Ihmn Now if only I wasn't to depressed to be funny. Note to self: Don't go see the Passion and expect to be in a good enough mood to write comedy.

[Krylo]

I likes it Celes. You may begin posting as soon as you like... the sooner the better, actually.

Edit: Here's the 'water bubble' spell I was talking about earlier.
water shield--Water--Creates a bubble of water around the caster which dampens damage and may deflect some blows completely. It can be turned into a prison with ice, and it allows the user to move freely through water. It also gives complete protection from fire.

Only altered to not give water breathing (as that you don't need it anyway). I suggested it because it would allow you to stick yourself in water if you needed to.

[IHateMakingNames]

She's going to post after I do my post which will give her something to post about, since right now all she is doing being stuck in a small carriage floating in a pool.

(Writing the post at the moment)

(Repost)

Do vampires have to sleep in coffins?

[Krylo]

Nope, they can sleep wherever they want... so long as they don't try to tan.

[IHateMakingNames]

Since we have this, I'll respond here instead of OOC in thread...

1) Vlad is a slaver, but his slaves have better lives then most others at least. Not so much for the men though, since they have to participate in a fight every now and then with each other.

2) Ogres/Orcs hate humans, Vlad is not human, that is easy to prove (Metamorphesis).

3) Ogres have weak minds, even leaders would easily fall prey to Vlad's mind domination.

[Squishy Cheeks]

One problem with that. There are a couple thousand of them and once a horde gets going, it's hard to stop. You might sway a few, but an army? not bloody likely. Your castle would be ruins and you'd be running for your life. To make matters worse what if the amulet enhanced troll joins them. Do you think you can contest the will of a god? He'd crush your mind like you squash a roach. So quit being mr. I'm so bad cause I have psychic powers it's getting annoying.

For one, he has a small army of guards, as well as a large amount of fighting slaves. He could hold out for a while. (Edit) - And fortified walls.

And to get them to stop attacking, he wouldn't bother with grunts. Morph to a bird and fly to the leaders, land nearby and out of sight, then morph into a race that Ogres like. Then convice them that you are ruler and castle and control the puny humans. If that doesn't work, some mind domination and convice them to turn around.

And as for the troll god, I didn't think he'd join with the ogres. I figured it was going to be a loner thing, killing all in it's parth to a better host.

Your character is to powerful, you have tweeked against all weaknesses of your abilities.

Fire still kills him. Holy magic still kills him. He has to concentrate to keep the light off him, he can only do one other thing while keeping the light off him (Split personality). Garlic is still a poison to him. Silver still kills him.

Besides the light thing, he still has every weakness he is supposed to have.

Just stop being a bitch and trying to kill my character. If Vlad's castle has to go because of story, then fine. If not, I rather keep it (One reason being because I couldn't sleep yesterday and drew a crappy map it, which I am now trying to edit so I can post them)



Edit - Birds eye view (Don't like big picture appearing so reposted Vlad's picture)

[Squishy Cheeks]

Yeah some one with fire or holy magic and you'll just use your psychic powers. Your castle is a liability too. How do you plan to be part of the story doing your half assed dracula.

Did you completely miss the part where kyrlo explained that mages have strong minds, and it would take longer to crush their mind so I can control it?

And really, getting into the story isn't my problem. But I am pretty sure there are many ways to do it while keeping the castle up (krylo and Ren are smart, they can figure it out).

Edit - One way would be to have something happen to the vampire clan, and because of Vlad's psionic abilities the council makes him go to help or something.

Edit 2 - Another could be the troll thing kills one of Vlad's slaves/servants while their out buying food. That alone would cause him to track down and kill it.

Very late edit - For the point before of being attacked and not having time, there is a large human village infront of the castle. Ogres would try destroying that first, giving Vlad much time to sneak around behind them.







Edit 3 - Wasn't able to sleep so I drew a rough plan of Vlad's castle. (Look at my post above this one for bird's eye view of entire castle area). Only place with windows are the left and right towers, everywhere else is lit up by many, many tourches and chandeliers.

The dark brown lines mean furniture/seats/drawers/shelves/etc. Purple lines mean doors.

Main - Forgot to add in the stables behind the topleft (female slaves) and topright (male slaves) areas

2nd Floor - Arena/Staduim goes up 2 floors. Also, female slaves tower first floor room is 2 floors tall, but forgot to draw it that way. Push up every room in the topleft 1 floor. That top middle thing is Vlad's room.

3rd - Center tower ends here, empty top.

4th - Topright tower ends here, some plants and seats on top.

5th - Nothing special. (No real picture, but top left of 4th floor is really in the 5th)

6th - End of topright tower, more plants, some seats, and a pool on top. (No picture)

Basement - Storage under both left and right towers, clothes in both and food in the left. Under staduim area for preparations. That middle thing is secert staircase that only Vlad knows about.

Secert Basement - Dungeon and... stuff...
