Encourage to use the other thread you do. Yet close this thread you do not? :P Actually, I'd like to use the opportunity to ask which is David Eddings' newest series. I've read his Belgariad/Malloreon and the Elenium/Tamuli, and while both of them were okay at best, the latest isn't any worse than the others. So did he do another series that is really atrocious?

OOC: I see you've kept it alive well past my most unreasonable hopes. Congrats to all five of you. :) I'm especially amazed at how well David played my character. However, I'm sort of back and have time now. I spent most of yesterday reading and summarizing the roleplay so I would know what I was getting into. Some people do not understand the importance of reading the thread, unfortunately. :rolleyes: To the point, Melora is now inside the cave a second time, with Lisha and Sequoia. Edith and Tuulentekija are trapped in a maze-like cave and looking for a way out. Filbert is somewhere deep in the mountain, and is getting affected by the constant barrage of illusions, because he's seeing pirates that aren't there. (Side note: Ephesos and David, don't hesitate to point out when I misjudge your characters. I still have to switch back from novel-writing to roleplaying; you'll notice from the wordiness and my lack of inhibitions against playing other characters...) IC: Wha--? Shaken as if by a sudden jolt, her mind grew wide awake in an instant, and she stopped walking. Suddenly, she felt a great clarity, as if awaking from a dream. She looked around and had no immediate recollection of where she was, but after a few seconds it came back to her. The central hall. The assassin possessed. The four-armed man. Orloki restored. Danger, fire and falling rocks, and flight... She had run after Lisha and Sequoia again, instinctively. There was survival in numbers, issues of trust aside. As her memories gradually returned, the rest felt as if she had walked in a dream. The scuffle at the cavern exit, Lisha's distrust, the meeting with Sequoia, entering the cave. Lisha and Sequoia, who had drawn level with her by now, had noticed something was up. "Why did you stop?" Lisha's face was set, her hands at the hilts of her daggers. She might trust Melora, but it was a guarded trust. Melora, now recognizing her symptoms, took a second to reply. "It turns out that I was possessed. I did not realize it until the possession ended just now." "Ended?" The word sounded wrong in the context. "'Awoke', if you want. I was in a trance, and whatever caused it released me a moment ago." Lisha's suspicions were not easily calmed. "If you were possessed then, you could be possessed now," she responded, her expression still hardened. "There would be little purpose in playing such an endless charade; even less purpose in leading you inside the mountain rather than killing you, if I were your enemy. You saw Orloki restored. He wants nothing further from us, save our deaths." When she saw Lisha's expression did not change, she went on. "I give you my word of honor that, as far as I can sense it, I am not possessed, nor do I intend harm to you." "There is honor among the Drow?" Melora fought with her anger at the perceived insult, but let no expression show, save a deep disgust that she could not hide. "It is said by some that the druids can read souls. If you do not trust me, will you trust Sequoia's judgement at least?" Sequoia, taken aback at this turn, looked dubious. "That was never my area of training. My power is weakened by my broken staff. But I can try." Rather than making any move, he gazed into Melora's eyes, which were like two dark holes, unreadable. But he held her gaze for a long time, though it visibly strained him. When he was done, he wiped his brow with his hand and leant against the cave wall. "Yours are complex motivations," he intoned quietly. "I see little good, and little intentions beyond your own interest. There is no bloodlust inside you, but you would not hesitate to kill for your goals. Yet, I see no nether influence on you." "That sounds accurate," Melora said. "Then why are you still accompanying us, elf?" Lisha spat. "We seek but the destruction of Orloki." "As do I, human." "What use could you have for Orloki's death? What is the drive that Sequoia saw in you?" "Greed. Orloki is a guardian. He is guarding a treasure, and I happen to want it." She spoke in short, clipped sentences. "And I intend to get it, too. If Orloki were to die in the process, it would make it a lot more easy. "You see that our interests coincide. If I lead you through the caves and help you slay the demon, we are all closer to our goals. Unless I have to prove and prove again my good will at every turn, which would be so troublesome I would be better off alone." Alone... the word hung in the silence. A bluff. Under no circumstances must she allow herself to be alone in this mountain, at any time. "As it is, you cannot find your way through these tunnels without me, and I cannot hope to stand against the demon without you." Plus, I need you to watch me in case I get possessed again. She didn't say this out loud. "We can go down the caves together, or we can split, and what you do then is not my concern. But if we do go, I would appreciate not having my loyalties questioned at every step. Will you trust me?" -- OOC: Sorry for long ramble. Since the distrust issue has been around since their first enounter, and keeps coming up, I thought it was best to build it up to a climax so we can resolve it. Sort of. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

By the time I start going on killing rampages in any game, it is usually a sign I am bored and should do something more productive with my time. That said, it was a fun challenge to assassinate all town mayors in A3 while avoiding harm to anyone else. Not especially tricky, but interesting. On other counts, I'm with Ephesos. I'll usually enter a dungeon in "stealth mode", hasted and blessed to excess, and sneak my way to the boss that needs to be killed to advance the plot. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Technically, you can use the scenario editor to convert a BoE scenario into a BoA scenario (I don't know if you need the scenario's password). But the result, without a lot of editing (and ultimately redesigning the scenario almost from scratch), is buggy, unstable, and completely unplayable more often than not. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

That might be off-topic, but if you are going to play computer games in 50 years, I'll be surprised.
