...which doesn't exist here, unless the DM's will it to be, and we do NOT! *ominous boom of thunder*

Heh...always wanted the dramatic effects...

I was being sarcastic...

Anyway... I say if there's a legit way Warmage can come back in, then by all means allow it! I remember when I missed 2 chapters and then came back. It would only be fair.

If thats just how he describes it, then how does he know its made of a nucleus and electrons? And why did he have to go that far, is an Atom gunna play an important part in this RP later on?

And can you refresh me on Cerebrus?

Also, I'm guessing that if Warmage has ANY sense at all, 'Laine's mother' is really just a doppleganger*. Otherwise, all that bitching I did about 'celestials' early on...well I told you so in advance.

*I still don't like that route (too much pointless fighting, and I'm guessing Dark Jak...eer Dark Laine will 'break' through), it just makes more sense than "Oh yeah, it LOOKED like I blew up...but really...I didn't?"

No, the atom will NOT play an important part later on...

Cerebrus is Ashtar's pirate minion. Jaral dislikes him, and considers him a pale-skinned toady.

Oy, a fantasy RP with later events using the Atom. (NOTE: You don't really dissuade people when you use ellipses.)

So Cerebrus is a pirate? Wow, what a convenient set-up.

Ashtar is a general. His forces include a navy. Having the pirates in the region working for him is a good idea. Now can you stop complaining about trivial, easily-refutable details?

Ok, so now Laine is dead, and is an angel (Or he's alive, but in heaven). And now a bunch of angels are going to attack orcs, just because his mommy says so?

I hope DB and/or SAAM see something very wrong here.

I do, and I'm waiting for Warmage and Jaguar to explain what the hell they're doing.

I think "Making no sense" explains it pretty well...told ya so

Hmm, I don't know whats worse, this sudden 'development' or Dark Laine.

Hey maybe we all have personal family armies waiting for something specific to happen to us before they mobilize. Laine's was activated by him dying, Gug's can be activated by getting laid ("He has made it with woman, MOBILIZE), etc et all.

I'm forced to agree...

Listen, if you want to do something like that, PM me first! Jaguar, Warmage, I don't see how this is so hard to understand, or why the two of you can't figure out how to use the Edit button...

Sigh.

several points:


1. Cerberus. Indeed, Cerberus was mentioned several times. He is Ashtar's right hand man. He is not actually a pirate, he is in command of the Southern Navy. He is an Admiral, and Ashtar is the Supreme Commander of the Southern Empire's military forces. And yes it is a set up I had planned for quite a while.

2. The Atom. It is a symbol only. Jericho could only relate to Gabriel in what he felt. As an Air elemental, Jericho used the wind as a second pair of eyes. He could control the air and detect the smallest molecule with it. This allowed him to see when he was temporarily blinded, and represented a full awareness of his power.

Gabriel is not a wind elemental, but he feels it in his own way. Each elemental has the ability to detect the world around them through their own element. Gabriel was detecting the world through the power of electricity, which exists in all things in different forms. Just like a molecule of oxygen being like a glowing beacon to Jericho, the Atom was the glowing beacon to Gabriel. Gabriel didn't know what he was seeing, I, as a narrator was giving you guys insight to what he was seeing. Jericho could detect things by their displacement in the air. Gabriel goes further and could detect things by their base elements. The point of it was to convey that the power of electricity can be used to do more than just zapping people and making socks stick to their clothes.

...Right, I gotcha... if its not too god-moddy you can BS extra additions to your powers

You really are gunna let Warmage go on his little 'thing'? Cuz then you're basically saying that he's immortal (oops I died, but my mommy says I can go play again) and always has a backup army of angels with him. Plus, his entire story is invalidated, since he only started to avenge his mom and dad, but his mom apparently was always alive...ish.

MLA, to be fair, the little thingy Warmage has planned is probably a little deeper then Laine becomes an angel (Like he wanted from the start, but was refused, yet now he gets it, after being less of a role in the story as Dain was) then goes and kills orcs with more angels.

Of course, to get there, it's just as you said.


Edit - And really, it was never said that Laine died and became an angel. He just had him suddenly go from broken skull to sleeping on a cloud...

Woah... For some reason I just felt the hugest pang of Irony.

MLA, what I'm saying is that you can all eventually gain your own "Elemental Self Awareness." The earth has a magnetic field, Jerek could use this. Heat is in all things, Gug could use this in an infared kind of thing, Osiris could detect people through the displacement of moisture in the airetc etc etc. I am also encouraging you to branch out with your powers. Think outside the box to come up with new ideas.

As for Laine, I'm not sure yet. My original intention was to have any and all of the army brought up against Antarrak slaughtered.

However I do see huge holes in the post. If Laine was still at Bastion, he would be under Ashtar's "protection." so he wouldn't be up against a wall. He would be in the Avariel city. Second, Laines mother is a huge issue, what with the "Death of his parents" and all. Change it to Aunt or Uncle, or Third Cousin twice removed, and I'll allow that.

SAAM, even if he changed it from mother to aunt, that doesn't explain the sudden angel brigade and standing on a cloud.

Laine dies -> Mother finds him -> They go to heaven -> Laine says bad people doing bad thing -> Mommy sends some angels to go kill orcs

Switching mother with aunt would make it make even less sense then it already does.

Yeah, but every single one of them are going to have their souls ripped from them by Antarrak. The cloud I agree with. It will have to be changed.

Frankly, this is why I didn't want to allow Celestials in the first place.

Hm, so now, how does this work exactly?

Laine survives a broken skull, but is unconcious -> Aunt finds him -> Aunt takes him to healing place -> Laine tells Aunt bad people are doing bad things -> Angels attack orcs?

Or,

Laine dies -> Aunt finds dead body -> Aunt takes Laine to heaven -> Laine tells angels bad things happen -> Angels attack orcs?


Also, I really would not be suprised if Warmage doesn't see any of this at all (Or completely ignores it), and just posted what he feels like.

Laine probably got healed, since he didn't have access to Hakar and Metrius the way the others did. There will be no army of angels. Laine will not become an angel. No matter how much he pays me, he will remain mortal.

Indeed. He never specified the army in his PM to me. He seemed to hint at a Drow army that Talos conjured up.

No drow army either, or I'll just have Antarrak slaughter it.

I know. That was my intention. (as stated in at least two of the above posts)

Indeed, we are in agreement.

I don't trust anything Warmage comes up with that has any semblance of power. I'm just basing this on his background (Super Lasers in the Bar, a Giant Dragon of Light, Dark Laine...) and the fact that he doesn't take criticism well. Although that distrust is also balanced because I'm guessing it'll be awhile before Warmage ambles around again to check on the RP.

SAAM, just to ask, what did Warmage and/or Jaguar tell you in that PM (I think you mentioned a PM)?

Despite your constant criticisms, you aren't one of the GMs. You've made your opinion abundantly clear, now leave it to myself and SAAM to handle.

Besides, so far we smacked down the laser-thing, de-powered Dark Laine (making him no stronger than normal Laine), and the dragon was pretty small, besides it went back into the sword right after it killed a single orc. He actually seems to listen when the GMs tell him to change something, despite the length of time it takes him to do it.

Just to clarify. Warmage, send me a PM to explain exactly what happened and what you are doing.

Enter the bo weilding prettyboy.

Yup...and some bandits. SAAM, since you designed this NPC, you initiate the encounter.

Indeed. Just need to check something.

Edit: For referance, we are fighting a team of 15 bandits. 5 are in the trees with Bows, 5 carry short swords, 2 carry nunchuks, 2 have sai's, and one is an NPC Wind elemental with a Bo. Have ye, but leave the Bo NPC alive.

The ones with bows are no longer in the trees, just for reference, but all are still alive.

He already has, remember? He resigned as a Co-GM back after the Drow Army incident in the first or second chapter.

Hope you guys don't mind. Jechir went all out on the ones with bows.

not all that much of a problem. 4 down, 11 to go. one archer still alive: the one that Hakar was going after. With the snipers out of the way, everyone can take up the close quarters combat with ease.

(just try to leave some for the rest of them Ches.)

Yeah. After that duplication type spell, Jechir's probably very winded and won't be doing much for the rest of the fight. By the way, it's time for a new Discussion thread... Post limit and all.

Is the still-living archer the one with the injured hand? Hakar shot one of the archers in the hand, but didn't kill them, and it might affect whether or not we can take that one prisoner.

yup, that's the one.

As CT mentioned, there should be a new discussion thread by now. I would make it myself, but I can't think of anything clever to put in after the discussion number.

Also, for a topic on the new thread. (Note that I do not know any of the bad guy's names, but I think you can figure out who I am talking about).

The group was tracking Big Orc with Flashy Sword to get the Flashy Sword back, but they were attacked by bandits with bows. Now, are they planning to try and follow Big Orc to meet Evil Lying Mind South Human and try to get both Flashy Sword and Kirii back, or are they just going for the Flashy Sword?

I hope it's the latter, since that means Osiris is coming in sooner.

It's the former.

New discussion thread will be up soon!
