So, can anyone figure out why the Undead Ogres being on fire is a hint?


Hint #2 - Undead are hard to kill, but still fall.

[Otaku Son]

Just knock 'em down and let 'em burn themselves to death.

[IHateMakingNames]

This was a test chapter, and after a couple of screw ups and crappy parts, it turned out ok (I guess). Though, if you be as stupid as you were this chapter Otaku, don't expect Kyle to be living for long.

Next chapter (Map and everything) will come up tomorrow. As mentioned before, will be posted in discussion first to get any questions answered (So think of any small details that I did not mention to bring up).

[Elminster_Amaur]

Pour oil all over them? Heh...well, maybe gasoline would be better, but it gets the job done. So, we're down to how many undeads? And what is the 6th Avian doing? IHMNs avian. Hey, lets drop some trees on them! Slice at their toes? Have some squirrels bite their kneecaps? Lets do something to make them fall. Heh, lets get a long string....Or a rope? We'd just need the help of two people strong enough to trip the lead ogre, then the others would fall over him, and they'd burn themselves to death.

[IHateMakingNames]

They don't need to trip. They will eventually burn down.

[Otaku Son]

If Kyle dies, then he dies.-Shrug- I'm not one of those people who cries over a dead RPG character. Not like it's me dying.

Hold on, so this is just campaign after campaign after campaign? The heroes don't get to decide what their next campaign should be.(Note: Yes, I'm playing Spellforge.)

[IHateMakingNames]

Hold on, so this is just campaign after campaign after campaign?

Yes. It's a lot like any other RP, where every chapter is just something different.


The heroes don't get to decide what their next campaign should be.(Note: Yes, I'm playing Spellforge.)

In the campaigns there will be parts to split up. I'm not going to do work for more then one mission.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Is there a possibility of destroying the entirety of the undead horde and having feuding between the races that hate each other already?

[IHateMakingNames]

Is there a possibility of destroying the entirety of the undead horde and having feuding between the races that hate each other already?

Well, seeing as that requires going deep into the Dragon/Avalon's Children thing, not likely till later.

That, and Demon would lose his character, you would be an outcast, Gato and Jad would be fighting everyone else...

[Elminster_Amaur]

Oh, ok....well, that sucks. Unless...are there non-undeads on the side of the undead?

[IHateMakingNames]

Oh, ok....well, that sucks. Unless...are there non-undeads on the side of the undead?

Maybe...

And your enemies aren't going to be Undead every time. They are just the major enemies. Some times you'll have to kill human raiders, or wild trolls attacking the base, fend of Murlocks because you stumbled into their land, fight off pissed off Elves for the hell of it, or anything else I can think of.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Oh, ok, then that means my magic item isn't a total waste.

[IHateMakingNames]

You can scare Undead. These were mindless grunts. If you fight a Dreadlord, a Lich, a Vampire, a Undead Mage, Banshees, etc, etc, they actually have minds and can be scared. Their presence also make the mindless grunts smart.

[Elminster_Amaur]

So if their leaders are present, I can use my dragonfear to make them tremble in such mind boggling fear that they cause Otaku's plan to go off prematurely?

Edit: Don't some of those that you listed have an aura of fear as well?

[IHateMakingNames]

Dragonfear? You had an aura and fire breath, where did Dragonfear come from?

[Elminster_Amaur]

That's my magic item

[Otaku Son]

make them tremble in such mind boggling fear that they cause Otaku's plan to go off prematurely?
What does that mean?

[IHateMakingNames]

The grunts with minds will be scared, but I doubt many high ranking Undead will care to much (Maybe get nervous).

[Elminster_Amaur]

Hey, IHMN...here's my plan.
Link posted was to the Shit card.

If I make your plan go off prematurely that means that....

No guesses? Well the undead would do this: Crap themselves. That is, of course, if they had anything left in their systems at all.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I prefer my proven strategy of crushing things with my steel knuckles.

[Elminster_Amaur]

But I like dragons and their odd ability to fly over anything and cause entire armies to quake in fear and cause some people to wet or crap themselves.

[IHateMakingNames]

But your guy is a humanoid dragon. That's not very scary.

[Otaku Son]

Hey, Elminster... (http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/otaku_son/Fuck_You.html)

[Elminster_Amaur]

That's nice....

[Forever Zero]

See, that's an easy enough card battle to win. Just play this to counter...

EDIT: Credit for this card goes to MechaMage on the Captain SNES Forum...

[Otaku Son]

Being serious now...will our characters ever interact with the commonfolk?

And FZ, notice there's a mana cost on "Whatever."

[Elminster_Amaur]

I would assume yes.

[Forever Zero]

And FZ, notice there's a mana cost on "Whatever."

Indeed there is. What's your point? As long as you can pay it...

[Elminster_Amaur]

Hey, how do you guys make those?

[Otaku Son]

See the appropriate thread(Custom Magic Cards) in the "General" board, Elminster.

And that's the key: As long as you can pay it. My card has a 0 cost so it can be played whenever.

[GatoFiero]

well dangit. I take a catnap and you people go post crazy.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Heh.

[Royalspork]

Those were some of my first posts; before I got use to this forum.

[IHateMakingNames]

I decided to make a card.

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7788/untitled6.jpg



Also, the next map and such will be up shortly (Once I feel like drawing it).

[lazy man]

Pointless (kind of) new alert!

It's Gato's birthday, so let's just say something nice to him and be done with it. Happy Birthday Gato!

[Joseph Pandora]

Okay... lets see... not real familiar with Gato so what can I say... okay got it.

Happy birthday, your avatar is a cat with a lime hat and I admire that.

[Elminster_Amaur]

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3438/Gato.GIF

Edit: Fixed a mistake on the card

[IHateMakingNames]

In the next chapter, we all just happen to be in the same (small) military base/camp. Hostile humans and nagas that allied together are gathering in the force, and a nearby town of humans and dwarves are worried they will be attacked. The Reptilian settlement nearby is willing to help, but for a price which you do not have at the time. There are trolls and murloks to the west, but unless bothered they should not be a threat. Also, a Blue Dragon has been seen in the area every now and then, but most likely won't be of any importance.

(If you want a better map of a certain area, draw a little circle/square around the place and I shall map it out better).

Light green is grass, which is everywhere.
Dark green are trees.
The close together brown lines are well made paths.
The spread out ones are paths, but poorly made.
The light brown/orangish color in the southwest is a beach.
Light blue is shallow water.
Dark blue is deep water.

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/796/map1.JPG



Also, Jos is in charge, followed by Kelen, Barash, and Zak.

IHMN – 10 (5 Reptilian (Garder snakes) scouts, 3 elven archers, 2 naga warriors)
Jad – 5 (You choose)
Otaku – 0
Demon – 0
SS – 6 (You choose)
Gato – 8 (You choose)
Joseph – 4 (You choose)
Kain - 5 (You choose)
Dante - 8 (You choose)
Elminster - 8 (You choose)
FZ - 0
lazy - 0

(One of you with a choice, Kyle is up for grabs (And must be), so some one take him. Same with Bill/Jace and Dart, and Shard)

Reasons for the small numbers.

While on the way back to the main human military base, the town requested a force to help with the local bandits who were begining to gather. But, this wasn't seen as a large threat, so only the heroes were sent while the normal soldiers (All 1300 of them, you started with 1400) were sent back to the base. You were sent some fresh troops of your choice via Goblin Transport (Goblins are very common, but move far to often to be counted and because of that aren't a major race). After troops arrived, the goblins set up a little shop nearby.

Also, FZ's guys and lazy's guy are still just soldiers, so lets just say they wanted to come along for whatever reason.

Questions?

[Elminster_Amaur]

By choose, what do you mean? There are still the race restrictions, but are there any others? Can we only choose from the forces that are still alive from the last mission?

[IHateMakingNames]

Be resonable with the races (For example, do not say you have 8 humanoid dragons), and it can be any class.

And these are fresh troops, since I felt like it.

Lastly, post what you want for troops so I can check it before it's confirmed.

[Elminster_Amaur]

What exactly is a naga again?

[IHateMakingNames]

Human top with snake tail.

w00tw00t! And thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday.

---------------------

ok, down to business

I choose, 6 orc raiders, a witch doctor, and a shaman.

[IHateMakingNames]

3 Ogre Fighters
2 Avian WMs

No, and no.

Ogres, not rare, but not common. And Ogres are low intelligent and usually violent. It's dangerous to give Ogres to anything but strong Reptilians, Orcs, or Ogres (Ogres like those races).

Avians, rare. And most of them are being used for more important matters at the moment (Hence why all five of Josmir's Avians are gone).



Also, Shamans are great for fighting Undead. Think about it, after you kill the Undead, the soul/spirit trapped inside is free. Shamans powers come from spirits. The newly freed people are going to be very happen, and will help in any way possible. During major battles, Shamans can become god like for moments.

"Civil Disobedience is Stll Disobedience," 'eh?

[IHateMakingNames]

Elminster, stop it with the cards, it's getting annoying.

And yes, that is the picture. I couldn't find a good picture for that card, then I remembered that picture.

[Otaku Son]

Okay, now I'm reclaiming Kyle...
And why is Kyle up for grabs?

[Elminster_Amaur]

I know, the cards get annoying. But they have my symbol in the right and my name at the bottom.

[IHateMakingNames]

Kyle is up for grabs because after hearing of the shit plan and suiciding troops, he was demonted by some generals to a normal soldier. He needs to prove himself back up to troop leading material.

Same with FZ's guys and lazy's guy (They are up for grabs as well).

[Otaku Son]

Oh, well Kyle tells his generals, "Fuck you!" (http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/otaku_son/Fuck_You.html) and leaves(since he has no baggage; just his clothes on his back and the swords). He then wanders off to Jessa's RP to search for Einlanzer.

[IHateMakingNames]

CJ's RP is dead, and you really need to realize that Angelfire sucks.

Edit - Also

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8372/untitled8.jpg

[Otaku Son]

No, I just need to realize I typed in the wrong URL. And if the Ragnarok RP is dead, then fine. Kyle wanders solo, again.

IHMN, consider it. The original players pretty much set the character for their characters. Someone else RPing the characters will either A) RP them out of character like a bad fanfic writer, or B) if the character is done in-character, the character is going to be the same. So, demoting a soldier won't do much good since that soldier is the same person.

[IHateMakingNames]

Who said some one is controlling you? You just have a boss now. Just because you are their soldier doesn't mean they can control the character.

[Otaku Son]

Well GDI, why didn't you state it like that from the beginning? Usually "up for grabs" means anyone can play the character. Would have saved me some frusteration.

But Kyle still tells his generals to screw themselves. He just doesn't leave now.

[IHateMakingNames]

When talking about choosing soldiers, "up for grabs" means that the characters mentioned can be (And have to be) choosen as a soldier.

And I've just decided something. The Allies have all of the Einlanzer equipment, and Kyle knows it. Of course, they aren't just going to give away magic items to some random person.

Edit - I just remembered about Shard... Some one needs to claim him as well.

[Otaku Son]

The Allies have the Einlanzer equipment? If you had allowed me to continue with my flashbacks, I would have told you where the Einlanzer equipment was. Remember the big oaf Kyle was fighting in one of his flashbacks? Yeah, that guy was going to spill the beans.

If the Allies have the equipment, then why don't they put it on? They obviously can see what Kyle's capable of doing with just his swords. And if you're using it as a reason to keep Kyle anchored to the RP, then I'll simply tweak Kyle's knowledge so he doesn't know and therefore thinks it's still out in the world somewhere.

In short, I think since I'm the one who made the equipment up, I should decide who holds it. It's your RP and you can take care of everything else, but Einlanzer was something scattered across the world by the mage just prior to his death(as was indicated by the flashback of Kyle's aunt).

Let's take this to PMs.

[IHateMakingNames]

They wouldn't give him the equipment because he's a wannabe punk. You don't give a kid a gun just because he can shot.

And the Allies having equipment gives your character actual motivation (Wants to get the equipment, and if he doesn't shape up then he won't get it).

It isn't just a reason to keep Kyle anchored to the RP, it's actual motivation. I frankly don't care where the hell the stuff is, but it gives Kyle an actual reason beyond "I'm searching" (Extremely cliche).

Also, I figured that the equipment was scattered across the world, but what is preventing other people from finding it?


Edit - Why PMs? This is an RP discussion thread, this is an RP related discussion.

[Otaku Son]

Because this is a debate between you and me, where no one else is getting involved. And I didn't type have the Allies give Kyle the stuff, I typed to have them put it on. And having moivation, being anchored to the RP, it's the same thing in my opinion. Kyle doesn't know they have it, and he's not "just searching." If you'll re-read the bio, he wants to be known by people. And his uncle even pointed out he joined the Allies of his own will.

[IHateMakingNames]

It involves the RP. If the other players want to input their opinions, let them.

And it doesn't even matter where the stuff is, since at the moment you won't be getting them (I am undecided on having the characters get stronger as they go along).

Oh, and believe me, it's not an anchor (An anchor would mean that I desperately want you in this RP).

[Otaku Son]

And it doesn't even matter where the stuff is, since at the moment you won't be getting them (I am undecided on having the characters get stronger as they go along).
Then why decide the Allies have it? They'd still be stupid idiots not to use it, and they should have already used it now. Loophole.

Oh, and believe me, it's not an anchor (An anchor would mean that I desperately want you in this RP).
I'll keep that in mind.

[IHateMakingNames]

When did I say they aren't using it? All I said was they have it, not that they are keeping it locked up in some place to collect dust.

[Otaku Son]

If they were using it, then why would they be sending our heroes to go do what the heroes do? Did you already forget what the helmet does(unless they put it on a zombie, which has no brains and therefore the helmet is useless, but that would prove their stupidity)?

[IHateMakingNames]

Did you already forget what the helmet does?

Yes.

[Kain]

alright i get to choose my own troops? cool
-1 elf mage
-2 elf rangers
-1 human wm
-1 dwarf warrior

[GatoFiero]

I feel sorry for that dwarf. He's gonna take so much crap from those elves.

[Elminster_Amaur]

[IHateMakingNames]

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8194/untitled25.JPG

The thing in the middle of the camp is a meeting building, the wood thing next to it in the Barracks.

Town is just randomly placed houses/shops.

The goblins have a big wooden wall (Forgot to draw it) surronding their supplies/stuff, and a small metal stand to sell stuff.

Reptilians tend to live underground, which these do, so the top is just grass and dirt with holes in it.

Bottom left is just trees where the key isn't.

[Joseph Pandora]

Has anyone taken Bill/Jace yet cus if none has then I want them. And two human ninjas.
If someone called them and I missed it somthing else occured rendering them unusable then I will take Kyle and 3 human ninjas.
If Otaku is quiting and Bill and Jace are unusable then make it Dart and 3 ninjas.
If all else fails 4 ninjas.

[Otaku Son]

Even if I'm not quitting, Kyle refuses to work for a slacker. Besides, Bill and Jace are available, so it works in the end.

IHMN, the fact you forgot what the equipment does probably makes it all the more reason, in my opinion, why the Allies aren't holing the Einlanzer.

Acutally, now thatI think about it, Kyle should work for the slacker. After all, the slacker's a slacker, so chances are he'll let his soldiers be slackers.

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, you should then remind me as to what the helmet does.

[Otaku Son]

Ummm, no. I'm happy knowing the Allies don't have the Einlanzer.

[Joseph Pandora]

I know Kyle wouldn't work under a slacker but if he did boy would it be fun to watch.

[IHateMakingNames]

Ok, screw the should, and tell me what the helmet does.

Would you prefer the dragons have it? Or Undead? Or some Trolls? Or maybe Avalon has them.

Edit - It's not really Kyle's choice as to who he works under.

[Otaku Son]

What's so fun about watching Kyle sleeping?

Slacker: "Yawn, I don't feel like doing anything. You guys can do whatever you want."
Kyle: "I'll show those stupid generals."[Goes to sleep as per orders from is superior]
-Later-
General: "Kyle, you were sleeping, now!?"
Kyle: "Hey, I was just taking orders!"


-Gasp-By George, IHMN, you got it! The Einlanzer is protected by the dragons. Now I can continue on with the backstory.

And even though Kyle doesn't decide who he works under, he decided whether or not he wants to take orders. Or, for that matter desert the Allies.

[Joseph Pandora]

No no. I can see where your going with that but to my charicters nature the conversation would be more like this:

Sabtor: Big guy. polish my boots!
Kyle: The next time you go to sleep I'm going to stab you.
Sabtor: In that case hurry up will you? I've got five minutes to live.

[IHateMakingNames]

Deserting would then have him tracked and sent to jail.

Also, the dragons have it you say? Kyle is never getting the Einlanzer stuff then. A dragon isn't going to give away anything it owns to any mortal.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Would it give it to me?

I don't really want it, but just wondering. Don't get mad at me, I'm a n00b! (http://img13.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img13&image=STFUNoob.GIF)

Back on track, what was the point of this mission exactly? Are we killing the allied Human and Nagas, or protecting the village, what?

[Joseph Pandora]

Yes I was confused to the objective of this mission as well.

[IHateMakingNames]

No, they would not give it to you. Dragons don't really care about the individuals of the dragon related species.

And the goal is to protect the village from the bandits/raiders any way you see fit (Go kill them, make defenses for the town, teach the town how to fight, try and trick the Trolls to go kill them for you, etc, etc)

[IHateMakingNames]

Right... Slay a dragon, good luck with that.

There is a better chance of the dragon giving you something rather then some one killing a dragon and taking it.

[Otaku Son]

In case you forgot, Kyle killed about five villages of people. How comes he hasn't been tracked and jailed, yet? And even if he is tracked, he'll put up a hell of a fight and either A) Escape or B) Die, thus he'll never be jailed.

Who says a party of people can't slay a dragon?

[Joseph Pandora]

My plan is of course assasinate a good number of their leaders. On account of thats my field of expertises.

[IHateMakingNames]

I did forget. I haven't been reading your little backstory post.

In that case, Kyle is jailed (Or dead, which ever you prefer).

And a party of people can't kill a dragon because they can destroy a party of people.


Jose, Nagas are good trackers/scouts, so that might be a problem.

[Otaku Son]

It wasn't even exclusively in my backstory; it was in my sign-up sheet, too.

If Kyle is jailed/dead, then how did he exist at the battle which just occured, and get demoted?

[IHateMakingNames]

Easy, that information will be forgotten and be acted as though it never happened (All I remember reading from the bio is being seen as a demon for being greedy, I didn't really read it since I had read it the first time you used that character, then later forgot but didn't care).

[Joseph Pandora]

Look IHMN before I make any plans I need intel on the leaders their locations ect. but I belive if I work well enough then I can pull it off.
Unless you decide for reason its impossible.

[Otaku Son]

Well if it's going to be forgotten and treated as if it never existed, then they'll be a lot of holes it people's brains. And Kyle is neither dead nor jailed, simply not among the Allies anymore.

I'm taking that as cue that I'm no longer wanted in this RP, so I'll stop posting here.

[IHateMakingNames]

You don't know who the leaders are or their locations. At most you might get some rumors from the town. Anything that goes near the camp gets attacked usually (Including flying things).

I don't give you guys all the information, just what your characters might know.

Edit - Otaku, I don't think many people really care.

[Elminster_Amaur]

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/268/newmap.GIF

[IHateMakingNames]

Can't.

The map comes from Josmir's scouting, and when he goes near there, he gets shot at.

[Joseph Pandora]

Look I will send in spys the works if I need to. Im not going for the higher ups just the commanders around my rank to weaken the assualt. I beg you give me some intel or I will get my own. Or fail to get my depending on how controling you are planning to be about your stance on this.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Oh, ok.

I say we go to the Trolls and tell them that the nagas are planning on attacking them and give them some rather vague evidence as proof, hoping that, as trolls, they are stupid enough to fall for it.

[IHateMakingNames]

The spies will happen in the RP, and you aren't getting extremely great spies of anything. This is seen as a low class problem. A town is being harassed by local ruffians who are beginning to gather from all around.

Edit - Stop making plans and telling me. This is just to answer any questions about the map and the situation.

[Elminster_Amaur]

I wasn't just telling you, I was telling anyone who would listen.

Edit: Besides, where would we talk about our plans?

[Joseph Pandora]

I never asked for high quality spies just the fact that I may be able to get some intel excites me. Anywho, when are we starting this thing?

[Elminster_Amaur]

So this mission....when does it start, and where are our chars going to be when it does begin?

[IHateMakingNames]

Our characters will be in the camp, and it starts after I get more responses (So far three people have).

[Elminster_Amaur]

I'll take Shard and Dart in exchange for two of my fighters.

[Forever Zero]

Meh, I'm not liking Jace and Bill, so Joseph, you can have them in your army and control them if you want, or just consider them elite soldiers worth about ten normal men each. You could also make them strategists if you wanted since they did pull the frozen zombie trick to put out the fires and that was pretty creative. As for me, I'm going to go over there. See you all in other RPs.

[Elminster_Amaur]

Sooo....I guess no one else wants to continue.

[Joseph Pandora]

Technically only two people have officaly quit and weve only lost one off the original number of players since FZ joined in the middle of a mission. none acutualy since Dart joined. Unfortinately this is all technical and things dont look to good.

[Squishy Cheeks]

i'm still in

[lazy man]

I'm just not talking, as usual.

[Joseph Pandora]

well good I thought it was just us three for awhile.

[Elminster_Amaur]

So Jad...If you're still in, what are your five troops going to be?

[Darth SS]

Can someone inform me of WTF has happened while I've been gone?

[lazy man]

We won, the zombies burned, Kyle got demoted, so Otaku quit, FZ quit for reasons beyond me, and we're all waiting for people to pick some soldiers for the next mission.

[Darth SS]

Well, if it matters to IHMN, I'd like samurai calvary for the next mission.
I'm gonna' hunt the thread down and read it soon.

[Joseph Pandora]

Does nobody care about this RP anymore?

[lazy man]

I don't know, but the answer is probably a no.

[Elminster_Amaur]

I'd like to continue, but if noone else wants to, then I'll gladly drop it.

[Joseph Pandora]

I would much like to as well.

[lazy man]

Considering the lack of posts, I would say this thing is officially dead.

[GatoFiero]

I was just waiting.
