If we have a little bit more time while rustic enters, I'd like to prep in that direction. We're also hoping Dras-Morna could get in some action before the end of the chapter. We're working on it, and hopefully we can make it quick and smooth.
I expected Rustic to have posted right away, but go ahead and do what you need. I'll get a post up that will move us into the next scene.
Sweet. I'll be in the ring. I'm thinking because Eslana has repaired Faramar's sword, it would be a great opportunity for some interesting changes between the two of them.
@everyone: Your characters are still bound, but now they have a definite setting and some things to respond to. Talk among yourselves, or work on getting free (your not bound that tightly). Your weapons have been collected and are in the Ring, Eslana and Kitza are closest to them. The festivities will begin as soon as Rustic shows up. @naturmage: Sounds good, I placed Eslana and Kitza in the ring with the others. I left it that Magnalian hadn't gotten close to them because you had implied some plan over PM and had written in a relationship between Magnalian and Kitza. I didn't want to disrupt whatever you had in mind. @Rapaz & MrMr: I'm expecting you to crash the party at any time. Feel free! @Galeskies: Do your magic as soon as you can, It would be great if you could bring the others in. Now I've got to go find out what happened to BackBiter...
Will do. I'm not exactly sure where to go right now. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kinda interested in seeing what happens if the games take place... I'd kinda like to hear some other opinions before I put another post in. What do you guys think?
I think I misinterprated your meaning of bound... haha. It shouldn't be hard, magnafire is a fire controller/manipulator.
Things are starting to slow down for me, but I can see that this is about to get messy (Good messy. Like a nice lovely bloodbath). Hopefully (and most likely), I'll jump in as soon as either A. Everyone's dead, or more likely B. the Orb changes possession.
I'll have a post today as well. Pyree will have remained conscious through her "binding" So I'll use that to set the stage for the colosseum. Anyone have preferences or ideas? If not, I'll be going with large stone arena, maybe some labyrinthine hedges along the outer edges, gates and doorways ten human lengths tall, and eerily quiet with murmur of the jungle ever present in the background.
@MrMr I dunno what's up with Rapaz, I PMed him earlier this week but haven't heard back. @Galeskies: Great ideas on the coloseum. Im my mind there are gates as you described, behind which are some of the baddies you will be facing. Also, there is a large and familiar pile of boulders in the corner...
*sly smile* I am looking foreward to this escapade. I particullarly like the boulder golem losthawken, i can see many a story line stem from him, it?
Gale and others in bindings if you want an easish freeing, Magnafire even in his power cripplish state, can help.
Eslana has a power she hasn't used yet that could let her escape her bindings very easily... However, I'm not sure if I want to reveal it just yet.
Wow, there's a lot of stuff going on now. Great job guys! I'm still kind of waiting on Rustic to get our characters moving.
Yeah, thats a bummer, we had a plan to move your characters to the action in style, but he seems to have disapeared... I'm instituting a new policy. I'm calling the it the "I turned around and he was gone" rule. Due to this game being a testing ground for newcomers and a non-committal game you may often find yourself stuck waiting on a player who has disappeared and is not responding to PMs. In these cases I will permit you to free your character by simply having the inactive interacting character disappear. This is the ONLY case where controlling another character is permissible and requires GM approval. Once approved you can write in a circumstance where the other character is out of sight for a moment and then goes missing: short and sweet. If the other player comes back he/she can imagine some circumstance around the disappearance; their character ditched the other to work on his own, was kidnapped, fell down a well, whatever. To summerize: If a player does not post in reasonable time and you have PMed them, you may ask permission from the GM to write in an "I turned around and he was gone" event to keep your character moving. Unfortunately, at the moment we have three players who are missing...
Wow, that's a lot of players missing. I know we have a lot playing, but I guess a lot of them will be disappearing.
I turned around and he was gone, huh? Sounds good to me! Although I don't think Rustic's gone, just a little slow. We have been PMing, but he sends one once every few days or so. I might wait another day or two before considering this option.
I'm afraid I have to agree. His activity log says he was online not long ago, but he hasn't posted on the forum in 3 weeks. Anyone 'disappeared' due to inactivity is of course more than welcome back. It just has to be understood that sometimes the game must move on. @CheddarCheese, I think Rustic will be back, at least I'm hoping so. He had some interesting plans. I agree that we should wait a little.
hey losthawken, just curious. do we currently have a policy on more than one character for Orb? I was just curious, because through my posts, Kitza was introduced (since I had trouble getting someone to interact with). I think Kitza would still make an interesting addition to the group, but I didn't know if I could play it in addition to Eslana. I don't want to step on toes by doing so, but I didn't want anyone to take Kitza over as an NPC if I would be allowed to play it separately
There hasn't been a policy made yet. But with my magic powers I will make one... Presto! You may have more than one player with permission from the GM. And @naturmage, you do. What a busy morning, and I've got real-world work to do! Be back later, and edit these rules into the first game post so that they are preserved for eternity.
Thank you. I will introduce Kitza in my next post. This should be interesting, because I have a generally idea of his/her/its mind, and its pretty screwy. Should make things interesting with Magnalian too.
