OOC: Uh...MSW, you are forgeting one of the basic rules in any RP wich is read all previous unread posts before you post your own. The Shrine IS under attack already (read Prem's post).

IC: "The windows!, They are comming through the windows!" Cried one desperate soldier, who was allready wounded by an undead slash.

Kel-Aziz observed the battle with great intrest as the wanderer threw some of his potions through the window, killing may undead at a time. He also noticed Eirik's incredible ability with the bow. Every arrow he shot reached the surprised undead that intended to pass through the window. Behind both of them, he observed Lavius muttering some prayers in total concentration when suddenly a burst of energy came from behind Lavius, it was Oscevello, Calisto's misterious Archmage friend.

Oscevello moved towards one of the most attacked windows and with a hand jesture, motioned some of the men away from it. Just as a zombie head poped through the window, Oscevello unleashed all his energy in a great shockstorm that reached out though a huge mass of undead. The result, a horrible stink of burned flesh and a great loss for the undead force.

Oscevello, mellow as always, returned to his corner were he remained in silence to regain his lost energy while the rest of the warriors moved with great speed to block some windows again.

"Impressive group." Kel-Aziz thought.

OOC: I get the hint Marooner . But first I would like to pinpoint everyones location, please tell me if I make any mistakes.

Holding the Shrine:
-Handfull of men.(Veteran Warriors)
-Eirik (Warrior/Archer)
-Lavius (Cleric)
-Galen (Warrior/ Wanderer)
-Kel-Aziz (Elite Warrior)
-Oscevello (Archmage)

Under the Shrine, searching for a path to Jestonia hidout:
-Crimson Guard (Veteran Warriors)
-Lynn (Warrior Captain)
-Telebrant (Chemist/Prestidigitator)

Somewhere outside:
-Calisto (Archmage)
-Cryobeast (Uh...Beast?)

At the cementery fighting a rougue Necromancer:
-Chivon (Paladin/Hunter)

On the rooftops:
-3 Vampires? (Warrior-Mages?)
-Maxim? (Warrior)

EDIT: Fixed mistakes.

IC:

Kel-Aziz was surprised. He had not expected such an amount of undead to be called upon so early in the battle. Many of the few warriors left to protect the shrine were allready starting to get desperate.

"Curse this, we are never going to hold this shrine long enough before the Crimson Guard reaches Jestonia!" Cried a desperate soldier while he barricaded the eastern and western doors of the shrine.

Kel-Aziz stared through one of the still unblocked windows of the shrine and observed the slow but steady advance of the undead. Kel-Aziz then turned to the rest of the men inside. Observing each of them he could tell all had faced the undead before so at least he had hardy veterans with him. He also noticed a few men that iradiated more confidence than the rest, these were Eirik, Lavius, Galen and the strange Oscevello that observed from a corner.

Kel-Aziz wanted to help, his combat knowledge was fresh since his last enlightening journey to his deserted homeland, but before he aided these men he needed to learn from each of their strengths and abilities. He remembered the code as if he had just learned it. Rule number three of Darubian Combat Code "If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself, you are sure to be defeated in every battle."

This first undead attack was big in numbers but weak in individual units, it was a perfect chance to observe and learn from both enemies and allies.

Walking to a nearby bench, Kel-Aziz waited for the zombies to arrive staring at the reflection of the fire on one of his waveblades.

Kel-Aziz slowly stood from his place by the fire and then spoke to Lavius. "One thing at a time, first we deal with whatever is causing those screams outside".

To Kel-Aziz's own surprise he discovered he was quite rested even if he had only spent about an hour or so by the fire, then he remembered the amulet he was wearing around his neck. He slowly reached for it under his cloak and felt a warmth around his hand. He smiled as he remembered the fight with the Lich Lord, a former Darubian King, that used to wear this amulet (Baltazar RP) and how the item saved him in his fight against Baltazar.

He stared at the device crafted by his people in ages long lost in the dephs of time. On the back of the pendant, written in Darubian, his native tongue, it said:

"He who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces will be victorious."

Mal-Shazur, Darubian King. Servant ot the secret flame of Darubia.


"I shall have that in mind" thought Kel-Aziz, as he walked out of the shrine followed by a few men to face whatever dangers lied ahead.

Kel-Aziz stared from under his cloak the current events. As Calisto was planning an attack against a powerfull necromancer, a priest of some sort appeared out of a portal distracting the attention from Calisto. As the priest, who later was identified as Lavius, asked about the recent events, another female warrior joined the confusing scene from the lower levels of the shrine, she was Lynn the warrior he had greeted upon arrival.

Lynn inmediatly called for all the voluntiers on the underground journey, as she spoke more than half of the warriors on the shrine started descending through the dusty hole. Kel-Aziz noticed many of these were wearing common uniforms and was later told they were all Crimson Guard soldiers, leaded by Lynn.

Calisto and Oscevello were worried as most of the men decided to join the underground journey, leaving only a handfull of men to deal with the surface menace.

Calisto broke the silance in a worried tone. "But...you will need more forces to protect the shrine and to slay the undead out there, besides the Cryobeast is on the loose and in probable trouble."

"Do not trouble youself so much woman." spoke Kel-Aziz, "Eirik and I shall command these few men in the best way possible, save your energies for the final battle, we shall deal with the necromancers in time".

Kel-Aziz interrupted "I don't think spliting up would be the wisest idea, specialy considering there is a horde of undead creatures roaming aroud." he was still sitting by the warming fire as he pondered on the situation a bit more.

"Remember the last time we fought these creatures Calisto?" asked Kel-Aziz "We were back in Exile in a town that was totaly surrounded by protective wards, walls, traps and many more men than those that we have here today. Remember also how almost every men died that day. What makes you think this shall be any different."

Calisto turned to Oscevello searching for an answer, she found none, turning back to Kel-Aziz she replied "Then what do you suggest warrior".

Kel-Aziz stared at the fire for a moment, then slowly he replied. "Rule number six of the Darubian Combat Code: He who only sees the obvious, wins his battles with difficulty; he who looks below the surface of things, wins with ease."

Calisto stared confused at Kel-Aziz "So you mean...?".

Kel-Aziz slowly bent over until he had his ear over the shiny marble floor. He then placed both palms over the marble. "This shrine is obviously not a holy one, we can all sense that." He streched up again placing his hands close to the fire. "Whatever is below this shrine emanates great power...and evil. I may be mistaken, but below this shrine may lie the passage that leads to the source of all our problems. I suggest you command a group of men down into the catacombs and lower levels of this shrine. I am too tired to follow you down there but I shall stay here with any of those who refuse to follow that path. We shall hold the undead back untill you find the source of Evil and eliminate it."

Calisto pondered for a moment when Oscevello interrupted. "I believe he is right Calisto. This may be our only chance to find and destroy Jesitonia."

"Fine. I shall lead a group of warriors to the lower levels but are you shure you will be able to fend the undead minions back?" From the slight ilumination given by the fire Calisto thought she could see a smile under Kel-Aziz's cloak. "Do not worry old woman" Kel-Aziz replied. "I trust that you shall make it in time to the source of evil before we get some serious undead visit."

Calisto nods and turns to the group of warriors who were listening carefully. "So it has been decided, any objections? If not, lets make the groups and make them fast. Time is of the essence."

OOC: Ok, you people choose what you like better. Heroic stand at the shrine or underground travel in search for the evil Jesitonia.

The first Spiderweb game I played was, Exile: Escape from the pit.

It was one of the very first versions of the game, it came in a demo/shareware CD with a bunch of other games that didn't appeal me.

The first game ever...hmm, thats a tough one, I guess it has to be an ATARI game...I am not shure wich though, I was probably four or five years old at that time.

IC: Kel-Aziz was quite surprised by Calisto's words. "Another undead attack, just what I needed." he thought.

Having travelled from so far he could not bother himself to think of these things. Moving closer to the fire he closed his eyes and rested, patiently waiting for the others to decide on the matter, while the comforting heat of the fire covered his cold skin.

I agree with both Stughalf and Alex, Kakashi took it too seriously. There was no bigotry in these post, just a discusion between people who wanted to share some thoughts on Christianity, Middle Ages, Rome, etc... True, they probably wont contribute anything to Jeff, but then again, there is very little on the General board that actualy does contribute anything at all.

Everyone at the shrine were ocupied thinking of their current desperate sitation, a few wounded were healed here and there and Galen's healing progress was observed carefully by both Lynn and Eirik, suddenly the shrines doors were opened.

Everyone quickly turned to see the new arrival, a few more paranoid adventurers even took their weapons out as they were not about to take more risks in an undead plagued town.

The opened doors revealed a dark rainy night and an inmobile black figure standing at the entrance. A man near the shrine doors was about to leap on the figure when it spoke.

Voice:...Do you people mind if I stay for the night?

The shrine suddenly broke into laughter as what they first thought would be a necromancer turned to be nothing more than a wonderer.

Mercenary: Shure you can stay traveller, just be carefull with the undead.
Man: Undead?
Mercenary: Thats right, many of em have attacked this town for a couple of days. We are currently waiting here for the nigh, a local witch summoned us here, she seems to have some sort of plan or something. You can come in, just sit behind and be quiet.

Kel-Aziz laughed at the situation, only a couple of years ago he had been stuck in a town just like this one, surrounded by undead. He slowly walked in the comfortable shrine making squishing sounds with his boots as he went, the soaked cloak that covered his hole body made him look like some sort of undead wraith or something similar. Kel-Aziz was not about to take it off anyway, it would mean many questions about his armour, thus his past and he was not in the mood for that.

Slowly, as he was told, he sat at the back row of the shrine, just by a small fire some of the local Mercenaries had started too keep a wounded man warm, one of the men atending him looked at Kel-Aziz and greeted him.

Lynn: Greetings traveler, I am Lynn. This is Eirik and this wounded fellow here is Galen.

Kel-Aziz noded under his hood at each one.

Kel-Aziz: Kel-Aziz at your service.

OOC: Ok, I will join this one. The first post might be a little lengthy.

IC: After he left Siris Island (Baltazar the Mad RP) he felt the need to visit his homeland once again, somewhere far away, on burning lands were the civilized world had not yet arrived. It was good to go back, he did not remember the last time he walked over those huge dunes under the constant burning of the sun. All those hidden memories brought back at his adventure at Siris Island had awakened in both his heart and mind the need to return to his homeland. He had avoided the visit for centuries as he did not like to see the remains of his once great empire turned into nothing but sand. The trip home was worthwhile however as the time he spent meditating on a mountain peak overlooking the huge desert proved to be enlightening. He opened his mind to knowledge he had forgotten codes he once swore live by.

Now it was totaly diffent. It had started to rain, and rain heavily. The long journey away from home had been too much for him. Even in his campaign experiences before he had never walked so much in such a short amount of time. He needed a place to rest and this small town in the middle of nowhere seemed promising.

As Kel-Aziz reached the local Inn, he noticed something was terribly wrong about the place. First of all there was no one at the Inn. From the corner of his eye he noticed a man running away from the town center. After following him around a few streets he watched him enter a local shrine.

The_Nazgul, I don't know how many millions would have died from starvation and constant tribal warfare without the Pax Romana. An example of "noble savages": Until recently, around 80% of Yanomani indian males died in inter-tribe raids.
Neither do I, but we do have a fair idea of how many people died under Roman Imperialistic slaughter and it is certainly more than tribal warfare, and I am not only considering Roman antagonists here but the Roman soldiers themselves.

As for starvation, it was a common problem at that era, even in Roman ocupied territory, wich I must add, always favoured roman citizens when it came to any sort of social problem. Captured people were usualy used as slaves and considering they were treated as objects I doubt they would have had any priority when starvation was at hand.

You are also not considering many other developed cultures you mentioned yourself in your first post. Greeks, Jews, Egyptians and many other stable cultures that were far better without the "Pax Romana".

Casualties might have been dimished but at what cost. And here I will quote Galgacus, Caledonian chief, from Tacitus: Agricola, 30, refering to his and my idea of "Pax Romana".

"Ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant"
"Where they make a desert, they call it peace."

Pretty much like what is happenng to the US today. History is not without a sense of irony after all.

Thumbs up to the new scripting sistem!!

What is wrong with monsters targeting the weaker PC? I think its the best thing to do for an intresting RP action, maybe Jeff could set default AI inteligence to select from in the monster editor window.

AI-lvl1 = monsters just attacks the closest PC.
AI-lvl2 = monster prefer attacks on weaker PC.
AI-lvl3 = monster prefer weaker PC, makes caster, non-caster distinction. Prefers casters.
AI-lvl4 = prepare yourself for a worthy oponent. Monster attack does not only do all the above, but learns from mistakes. example:

spell_02=fire bolt
(selected PC, considers a series of factors mentioned above, health, caster,non-caster, etc..)

If Monster cast_(spell_02) on_selected PC_1_ = damage = 0
then
disable cast_(spell_02) on_selected PC_1 for next random combat turns<6*
(...or something like that)
if false
continues as usual...
*the reason for not doing damage may be because the PC had a special shielding, thus the AI would try again sometime in the next five turns. Or maybe it would pick another valid target...

There could also be a default AI depending on the monster tipe, example. If the monster is a golem it will never flee from battle, if it is a goblin it will flee when bearly harmed...etc..

OOC: Here it is people.

IC: After the battle, Molek, followed by the party of adventurers and the surviving rebel warriors entered the capital city of Siris Island, Siris Port. As the new King walked into the city plaza people came out to the streets and cheered with joy as many shouted "Long live the King of Siris Island!" and "Freedon to Siris Island" followed by bard songs and petals all over their heads. After a few miles of walking and cheering the warriors arrived at the City Hall were Molek stood before a demolished statue of Baltazar and turned to the exalted crowd.

Molek: Free people of Siris Island!! (cheers) ,this day marks the ending of the darkness and the begining of a brand new day for our people! (cheers) Let the children of our children remember the deeds these noble warriors and adventurers for years to come!

The crowd bursted in cries of joy as Molek continued speaking to the crowd and many children fought past the guards to touch one of the great warriors.

Later that night fireworks started and lasted through hole weeks. Some say they could even be seen from the continent. But that very night, the party of strangers that aided them in the Battle of Baltazar were nowhere to be found.

At the balcony of Siris Castle...

Observing the departing ships under the light of fireworks.

Alcove: So, Delgar, do you think we will ever see them again?
Delgar: I doubt it Alcove, but remember, not even the wisest of men can tell the paths of destiny laid upon us. Maybe someday our paths shall meet again...

Alcove and Delgar entered the castle as the official coronation was about to begin.

...And so it concluded. After years of fighting and hidding the brave rebels finnaly managed to regain their freedom and their Island. Many old men remember that day and many, to this day, still celebrate the fall of Baltazar and Moleks coronation as the new rightfull ruler of Siris Island. But there was something else many other inhabitants of Siris Island would never forget and that is the great and heroic deeds the band of outsiders did to save their Island, adventurers that time would turn to heroes and history to legends...

THE END

OOC: Actually MSW, I am going to take Infuriated Slith's side on this matter. When a character dies or revives is an option only the character owner can take. If he wants to die, he is dead, period. BTW, I have to explain how I fighted Baltazar in Omlettes last post, considering I was almost dead and all...

IC: Kel-Aziz stood before the begging Baltazar wondering how he did what he just did. A few minutes ago all he could remember was being hit by a powerfull beam from Baltazar that almost ended with his life, suddenly he rapidly recovered and was fighting again as if he had just received a common wound. Then it struck him, the pendant he took from the battle against the Lich Lord, a former Darubian King, was in fact a Pendant of Kings, a powerfull item devised by the Darubian Smiths that granted life regeneration to the user. The artifact was ment to heal the Darubian Kings if they ever entered a close combat. It was banned for Darubian Royal Guards since they were already too powerfull in that area.

Baltazar: Please! Have mercy on my soul, I tried to control powers I could not...I...I...

Suddenly someone bursted in Baltazars throne room.

Kel-Aziz: Molek!

Molek and a handfull of men were the only remaining force of the rebels, their armours were torn and covered in blood. Many wounds showed here and there, not so different to the aspect of many of the adventurers who stood there. Molek was surprised to see a begging Baltazar.

Molek: What are you people doing? Slay him once and for all!!

Everyone surrounded the sorry remain of a powerfull archmage.

Baltazar: Wh...What are you going to do?...

Kel-Aziz turned his back on the group as he stood motionless. After a few mintutes he spoke from his place.

Kel-Aziz: Alcove, Delgar...are you going to remain on this Island?
Delgar: Why?
Kel-Aziz: Killing the man will not solve anything. Just outside this tower, there is still a huge army of mercenaries waiting to brake in and kill us all. (turning to the party) If we kill Baltazar we will have to fight those mercenaries and their creatures waiting at the castle, there is no way this handfull of men will manage that.
Eferas: Then, what do you suggest?
Kel-Aziz: Lesson number two of the Darubian Guard Code: "For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
Delgar: I undersrand.
Molek: Explain yourself.
Kel-Aziz: As Baltazar remains alive and under our control we will have control over the army.
Molek: I see.
Kel-Aziz: The tricky part shall be keepig him under our control.

Kel-Aziz stared at Baltazar crying on the ground.

Kel-Aziz: He may seem harmless now, but a man that managed so much harm in so little time is a dangerously intelligent man, with ot without magic. That is why I need to know if Delgar or Alcove are staying on this Island, at least untill all wounds in Siris Island are healed. As I have been informed before Molek is the next man in line for the throne of Siris Island.
Molek: Indeed, Theodus was my uncle.
Kel-Aziz: So it is settled, Molek shall rule over Baltazar. On his right hand the wise Delgar and on his left hand powerfull Alcove, the three of you know this Island better than any of us and should be able to watch over Baltazar. Its up to you to decide.

As he said this Kel-Aziz walked to Baltazar's robes and with one of his waveblades tore the robes apart, he then walked to Eferas.

Kel-Aziz: Can you deal with these remains? we dont want them falling in the wrong hands again.

He then turned to Delgar and Alcove waiting for an answer.

Firedrake once again engaged in combat with Kel-Aziz, just in time to cross Kel-Aziz waveblade with his own blade right over Namothils head.

Namothil: Phew!, That was a close one.
Firedrake: Just in time.

Kel-Aziz pulled back and inmediatly charged again waving both waveblades faster than the last time. Had they not been veteran adventurers they would probably be dead by now. Kel-Aziz, both carefully and quickly decided were to defend and attack with each blade, slowy pushing both Firedrake and Namothil away from the portal.

When they were more than a few feet away from the portal Kel-Aziz noticed Firedrake was slowing down, slighly, bearly noticable even by Firedrake himself. Kel-Aziz smiled for he knew the poison of one of his waveblades, even though it was eliminated from Firedrakes body in time, left a slight negative effect on Firedrakes now clumsier body, he saw his chance. With a quick block to Namothils bearly visible blades he used his remaining waveblade to disarm Firedrake of his own weapons with an agile move. Firedrake inmediatly pulled back from battle, reaching for his blades. Namothil abruptly moved in to cover his friend in a rushed move, using Namothils own strength to trick him into falling out of combat posture Kel-Aziz quickly slashed Mishka, his left waveblade, at Namothils left hand. Although it was a slight cut it was enough for the Mothbel Root posion to kik in a small bit of blood to cover his hand.

As Namothil regained his defensive posture and moved back to see the effects of his wound, Kel-Aziz moved fast enough to reach Firedrake right hand before he took his blades and slightly hit him with Hazka, his right waveblade, making a bearly visible wound. Kel-Aziz spoke for the first time since he was controlled.

Kel-Aziz: You have been touched with Mishka and Hazka respectively.
Namothil: What are you talking about. ( moving next to Firedrake)
Kel-Aziz: Mishka carries Mothbel Root posion, Hazka brings the poison of the Velthia flower. Both alone are dangerous enough to kill a man in the long run, if not treated soon enough they cause paralisis.

Firedrake and Namothil stared at each other.

Firedrake: Dont worry I have some curing potion left. Its the last bit.

As Firedrake streched his wounded right hand with the potion to Namothils wounded left hand Kel-Aziz interrupted.

Kel-Aziz: Wait! I would not go so close to Namothil if I were you.
Firedrake: What...do you mean (already feeling the effect of the poison..)
Kel-Aziz: As I said before, both poisons are dangerous, but get one of them mixed with the other and...(moving his finger across his neck)...In other words, if a drip of Namothils blood covers any of your wounds or vice-versa you shall instantly suffer a horrible death.

Namothil and Firedrake slightly separated from each other, they were not about to test the veracity of Kel-Aziz words.

Namothil: Th...Throw me the potion, but cover it in something first.

Firedrake did as Namothil told him and threw over the potion, just as it flew off his hands it was interrupted in mid air by Kel-Aziz hand.

Kel-Aziz: Thank you, It might come handy.

As both Namothil and Firedrake slowly pulled back, Kel-Aziz turned and noticed Eferas and Alcove were dangerously close to the portal.

Baltazar: You fool! stop them!

Baltazar shouted madly as he was too busy trying to hit ShadowWolf, while Kel-Aziz was valiantly slowed down by both Namothil and Firedrake who were fighting both the posion and Kel-Aziz. When Baltzar finaly got ShadowWolf with a powerfull ice bolt that sent him flying across the room near Fluffy and Mancire, Baltazar turned to the conspiring adventurers near the portal.

Baltazar: Curse them, the Darubian will not make it time! I shall handle this myself!

Baltazar closed his eye and lifted his right finger, he was sudenly surrounded in a white aura. Only Alcove and Delgar were familiar with that spell.

Alcove: Cover youselves!! Its a shockwave!!

To everyones surprise the spell was stronger than a common one, what they felt next was a a pain that left a shokwave like a spark. From Baltazars finger a bright light wave expanded to the rest of the room.

Baltazar: FEEL THE POWER OF THE ANCIENTS!!! THE POWER OF DARUBIAN KINGS!!....HELZ-BAL ARGAMMENON!!

The huge energy pulse sent everyone flying to the walls exept for Kel-Aziz who was spared from the full force attack, but still received quite a shock. The screams of pain were soon covered by the sound of the energy blast, that did not harm the portal or structures, but made a serious damage to all organic beings.

As the ligh faded only Baltzar remained standing, holding in his hand the Tome of the Darubian Kings.

Baltazar: ....mm..mmhahahHAHAHAHA!! I am a God!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!! No one shall stop me now!!

Kel-Aziz who took the weak part of the blow, slowly recovered and walked towards Baltazar.

Baltazar: Come warrior, there is much you can help me with this tome.

As Kel-Aziz walked by Baltazar the unexpected ocurred. To Baltazars shok and horror, with a faster than the eye move, Kel-Aziz took hold of the Tome threw it in mid air and jumped impressively high enough for a human, with both waveblades out he made a series of vicious slashes at the tome, making a both beautifull but painfull sight for a mage. From the skies, tiny bits and pieces of the reduced tome came flying down over Baltazars loud cry.

Baltazar: NOOOOOOOOOoooo!!! What have you done.

Baltazar tried in vain to colect the pieces of paper as Kel-Aziz did not waste more time and slashed both waveblades at the suffering archmages robes, they both struk in the same place. The effects of both poisons were inmediate, saliva came out of Baltazars mouth as he turned in both horror and surprise to see the man that betrayed him.

Baltazar: How....!
Kel-Aziz: I was never under your control in the first place. I Pretended control so that I could be right beside you once you lowered your Arcane Shields. How did I block your mental control? (knoking his helmet)...this is no common helmet or part of the Darubian uniform, it is a gift from a gnomish friend of mine who goes by the name of Rathlan, great fellow( See Tower of Babil RP). Thats lesson number five of the Darubian Guard Code: Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

Baltazar shoked in convulsions as the poisons were killing him inside out, suddenly it stopped. Kel-Aziz had allready turned his back on him when a fierce beam of energy struk him in his back and sent him almost uncouncious over some of the recovering adventurers.

Kel-Aziz: Its not possible, no one can stop both potions but a Darubian warrior or...
Baltazar:...King....Thats right, before you stupidly destroyed the Tome, I learned how to stop your poisons!! Yes, it did drain me and lowered my Arcane Shield, but do you think that makes any difference, I am still the most powerfull mage ever!!

By this time most of the adventurers were recovering from the shokwave.

Namothil: What happened!
Kel-Aziz: (Giving him the potion he took from them earlier.)...Listen everyone!! Baltazar shield is gone, you can now---

Kel-Aziz was cut off abruptly as a dark beam of energy shock him uncouncious and bordering death.

OOC: This is it people, Give this RP the coolest ending. Green light from now on, remember to let other players participate in the death of Baltazar, I did my part, hope you liked it.
