IC: Theobold swam through the waves as fast as he could, his left arm slightly hindered by the longbow over it. He needed to make it to the island before he froze to death, and luckily the island wasn't too far away. To help him move faster, he blotted out all sense of time, just kept himself swimming, always swimming. Eventually he made through an opening into the interior wall of the rocky cliffs, and luckily for him, the weather was calm. Finding a small beach of sand, he climbed ashore and took a moment to recover his strength. Shivering from the cold water, he slowly took off his clothes and placed them on the ground to dry. Then, taking a scroll of 'Light' from the scrollcase at his belt, he recited the words from it. The scroll disappeared, and in his hand a floating ball of fire appeared. Theobold huddled near the ball of fire for warmth, and also used its proximity to dry his own clothes. Finally, when the fire extinguished itself, Theobold put on his (now only slightly damp) clothes and equipment and began to scale up the cliff wall. It was fairly challenging because of the hefty longbow on his arm, but luckily there were many cuts in the cliff wall big enough for hands and feet, and despite his scrawny appearance, Theobold was a strong man. Eventually, after nearly an hour's climb (he had to stop on the way up for a rest at one time), the perseverant Theobold had finally made it up the top. Lying against a rock to gather his strength, he looked up to see the sun setting on the horizon. Good, he thought to himself, smiling a little. He wanted to get the use of his bow back as soon as he could. The fisherman came as promised at nightfall to the hill overlooking the sea. Theobold was waiting, holding up his end of the deal. With him, the fisherman carried a quiver of arrows and a bag slung around his shoulder. Theobold took the full quiver from the old man and looped it around his shoulders, then looked inside the shoulder bag. It contained food provisions - apples, pears and lettuce, and some dried meat. He nodded. "Thank you for holding up your end of the bargain. I'll need these." Theobold scanned the darkness with his keen eyes. Then he said, "I'll need to ask another favor of you. This quest given to me won't be easy. I'll need you to stay at the inn for a while until I return. If I don't contact you in five days, consider me dead and sail away." The fisherman thought about this for a minute, then nodded. "Always glad to help, mi'lord. I'll do as you say." "Again, thanks. I'm going solo from here, get some rest in town and wait for me. I'll pay for what the inn charged you when we get back to Turin." The fisherman nodded again, and was about to say farewell when he realized that the strange man was already leaving. Feeling awkward, the fisherman walked back to town. Theobold crept along the open grasslands near the village docks, carefully avoiding it and staying out of sight. As he crept along, trying to memorize the landscape in his head, he noticed a cloaked figure lying on top of the edge of the cliff wall overlooking the sea. Carefully moving towards the figure, notching an arrow to his bow just in case, he crept towards the figure, who looked either unconscious or dead. The person was lying on their front, and it looked like he/she had fallen just after scaling the cliff wall. Slowly, Theobold bent down to touch the figure, and pulled back when the fallen squirmed slightly under his touch. Taking the figure over his shoulder, making sure no one was looking, Theobold carried the fallen figure to a cluster of rocks nearby, and rested the person against one of the rocks. Theobold lifted back the person's hood to get a good look at them. It was a woman, he found out, eerily beautiful with dark locks covering the sides of her face. Her face glowed pale from, Theobold guessed, the moonlight shining from above. Realizing this woman would need warmth on such a cold grim night, Theo took his mind off his current quest to search in the nearby woodlands to find wood. OOC: Just to clarify, this is the character you used in the zombie war RPG, right, premonition? Hope it's a good description of your character, and I apologize if you hadwanted to start off solo.  I think Theobold will find out sooner or later that your character is a vampire, but, rather than slay her like he usually does with all 'evil' creatures he discovers, for some reason he'd rather wait around and see what happens. (maybe he's allured by the pretty face.  )Posts: 69 | Registered: Tuesday, May 28 2002 07:00 |

OOC: Hope you don't mind if I join this RPG  Here's my character! Name: Theobold Filliach Proffesion: Archer/Rogue Background: He's part adventurer, part wandering thief, and so he has no true home to speak of. Being an adventurer, Theobold takes on mercenary missions solo, and relys heavily on stealth and secret passageways to achieve his goals. Though he has considerable skill in use of the bow and in thief abilities, such as picking locks and finding traps, Theobold seems to have an extraordinary amount of good luck. This good luck may have been what has kept him alive to date. This doesn't make him over-confident of his abilities, however, nor does he rely on his luck. For some reason, Theobold seems to think of himself as some sort of champion of good and tends to see the world in a black-and-white perspective. He can be very over-zealous (some would say obsessive) when dealing with foes he deems "evil". (Though he doesn't use the term loosely) Recently, the port city of Turin has spotted strange sightings around the waters of Siris Island. The mayor of Turin, fearing that Baltazar might be mobilizing an army, posted a hefty reward sum for the death of Baltazar the Mad, in the hopes that passing adventurers would take care of the problem for him. Theobold, seeing an opportunity to rid the world of some more evil-doers, hired a fishing boat to take him to the waters of Siris Island. Appearance: His clothes aren't too fancy - he wears a brown cloak, tunic, pants and surprisingly well-crafted (but not magic) boots that enable him to move silently across most terrain. He also wears standard leather armor. He's a short human, with brown eyes and auburn hair, and has a sterrn, ratty-looking face with squinty eyes. He looks somewhere between his late twenties or his early thirties. His prefered weapon is a yew longbow that he carries on his shoulder, but he also has a sharp dagger complete with scabbard at his belt. He keeps a quiver of iron arrows on his back. Approve?  Anyway, here I go. IC: "Well, here we are, Siris Island, as I promised." Theobold looked across to where the grizzled fisherman was pointing towards the island in front of them. "I guess you'll be wanting me to come into the docks?" The fisherman asked. Theobold thought about this. "No," he replied after a minute. "Not with me anyway. I want my presence to be unknown." He searched the terrain, a plan forming in his head. "Here... see that hill to the right of the docks area?" Theobold pointed out the area. "I've got a plan. However, in order for me to pull it off, I'll need you to perform another task for me. If you do this for me, there will be an extra 500 gold for you back in Turin." "I'm listening," The fisherman said after a moment of hesitancy. "I've decided that I'm going to swim to the island. However, I can't do that without losing my arrows. So, yes, I do need you to get your boats to the docks. Once you get there, get a room at the inn. At nightfall, take my quiver of arrows and some provisions to the hill up there. I'll be waiting for you there." The old fisherman stared at the strange man, digesting this peculiar plan. "Alright," said the fisherman. "I'll do as you say." "My thanks," replied Archebold, and unbuckled the quiver of arrows. Checking to make sure he had everything he needed, he approached the edge of the boat. Then, as an afterthought, he turned to the fisherman. "By the way, some food would be useful as well. Bring that too. I'll see you at nightfall." And with that, he plunged into the sea, swimming for the island. [ Monday, September 15, 2003 16:37: Message edited by: EatAChinchilla ] Posts: 69 | Registered: Tuesday, May 28 2002 07:00 |

So far I had heard no mention of a broadsword and throwing daggers (then again, I think I kinda skimmed), so I think it'd be alright. Unless you want me to play him like that exactly. _files/smile.gif) Posts: 69 | Registered: Tuesday, May 28 2002 07:00 |

*sigh* This happens to a lot of forums... trolls suck. Spammers suck. I'm quite an experienced RPer in threads, so maybe I'll join in and try to implement some creative characters. Posts: 69 | Registered: Tuesday, May 28 2002 07:00 |

86. Goblins, faeries, "The Power Of Yale" and other fantasy things existed during and before the time of the Romans. 87. All soldier captains look female, no matter what gender. 88. It's all right to take things out of shelves, barrels, etc, but it is taboo to put things back in them. Unless you happen to be a roman or a celt.

I tried downloading Nethergate for Mac today, but instead of downloading the game, I got a window saying "A connection failure has occured." So, either my computer hates me (which it has proven many times in the past) or there's something wrong with the download site for Nethergate. The same thing happened when I tried to download the Windows version. Maybe someone else can try downloading Nethergate to see if they have the same problem?
