An RP based on Geneforge? The game is all right, but I shudder about the RP. The Avernum RP took an expert team ( :P ) more than a month to develop. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

As far as I know, trademarks and copyrights extend for a period of 70 years after the owner's death, or some such.

As far as I know, games have been made from successful movies, and vice versa. Of course, in both cases the games rely on expensive graphics much more than Avernum does. ;) The trilogy thing wouldn't work though: Unlike rpg players, someone who watches a series of 3 movies expects the heroes to remain the same ones. And a period of less than 30 years covered. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

Oh, yes, btw, Dolny. You haven't been here long, so nobody is likely to tear your head off for this, but remember for the future: Replying repeatedly in one thread (with identical messages or different ones) without any other posts in between is referred to as 'double posting', and frowned upon. ;) And Drakey, I think this is another Dolny, not the one you seem to be referring to. Dolney with the e currently has the moniker 'guy with not so perfect grammar' or something, afaik. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S.

No, in time scale, not in story size. LotR may be big, but making a movie of this whole history would be like trying to turn the Silmarillion into a film. Of course, there are always small individual stories. How about just the story of E/A III? :D -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

If they leave now, all hell breaks loose. Basically, the Iraq was a house of cards, and the Americans went in and stumbled into the thing. To prevent it from falling down, they need to remain exactly where they are, holding it up to support it. And all the while, they're getting shot at. Not a pleasant situation... -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

I agree with the views, but I must insist that while a poem is not necessarily defined by rhymes or scansion, its defining feature is the occasional line break. Sorry buddy, this is called prose. -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware! His Flashing eyes, his Floating hair!" S. T.

A small, rainswept clearing. Battle had raged through here, as well as everywhere else. Bodies littered the grass, coloring the muddy ground red with blood. Heaps of bodies, humans and horses. It all seemed to have ended. Here and everywhere, the dead lay thick. And then, something stirred in the heap. A man was still alive. Short, greyish white hair, a bent old figure. He was not trying to get up. Taron, unwounded through a miracle, was lying in the rain among the dead, weeping. Their last hope had ended. Before the battle had overtaken their small convoy, he had already heard the rumors of Ironclad's fateful end. Hugo, he learned, was dead as well, slain by Ironclad's bodyguard. That left Sol. Taron sighed, trying not to think of it. Yet the thought intruded, seeming almost to jeer at Taron mockingly. All in vain. We might as well have never betrayed him. He looked at some of the dead soldiers' swords; one was sticking up point first from the ground, a long finger beckoning at him invitingly. He hesitated, then turned away. That would be cowardice. And if he died a traitor, he did not want to die as a coward as well. He turned around again. It was pointless to search for Linda's remains among all this carnage to bury her. They would never find her; and once the rain had rotted the flesh off their bones, no one here would be recognizable anyway. And in the end, it was only a body, not herself. And yet... he felt he should mark the place somehow. There was a tiny boulder lying here, beneath a tree. Taron tugged at it, but was surprised to find it could not be moved; it reached far deeper into the ground than was visible. Magical carving was taught to first-years at any given school. Linda. A traitor, yet not dishonored. May this land see better days through you. Then he pulled something out of the pack holding his potion and reagent supplies. Seeds. Ember flower. Traditionally reserved for the burial sites of the greatest wizards. He chuckled softly through his tears as he scattered them. She must certainly be the first apprentice to receive this honor. _______________________________________________ As he walked through the rain, Taron knew what he had to do. The war was over, and soon, the scribes of the emperor would have edited and revised all the records so thoroughly that no one would remember history. Taron was determined to prevent that; even if the future generations would not be able to change their fate, they should at least know their past. Someone was walking beside him as he went, he suddenly realized. He looked up with alarm; it was Ayin. For a long while, neither of them spoke. Taron did not know if the mage was as downcast as he was, but if he was, he hid it well. Ayin spoke. 'It would seem that we have thoroughly botched this up, what do you say?' Taron was still too choked with tears to answer. 'Tell you what, I think it would be best for you to leave this country behind.' 'Run away?' Taron croaked, half indignantly. 'They will be searching for you all over Pralgrad. But I know a place where you can write your account in peace. That is what you wanted, is it not? There is nothing left for you here now.' And Ayin led him to where he had tethered two horses to a tree. He might have lost, but he was still determined to take on the airs of an omnipotent, omniscient wizard. Taron chuckled again. It seemed an unfitting sound for so bleak a situation, but Taron was relieved anyway. He could still smile, and did so. The rain seemed to slacken momentarily. _________________________________________________ The journey South, over the landbridge, took them over a month, but it seemed like no time to Taron. The mage had told him that this was a wild place, still swarmed by monsters in this day and age. Yet they were able to make good progress without being attacked even once; Ayin's magic saw to that. With no fights and no human settlements to distract them from their journey, there was nothing to do but to talk. They talked a lot during that journey. Ayin told him of his own experiences; of his desperate attempts to control history and fate, and of his failures and successes. He also revealed to him things previously hidden to Taron. Taron learned about the last victories of the Solarans, the uniting of the Alliance army with the Populists and their defeat in spite of this unification. Ayin had lived for a long time, and he knew much of the previous happenings. It was enough, Taron realized, to fill thrice again as many scrolls as the knowledge he had already gathered. Ayin had failed to change history, but he had recorded it successfully. There was still one detail nagging him. So all of a sudden, one day, Taron asked about Link Sullust. It had not been great news, of course, but the trick with the fake Doomguard had reached his ears nonetheless. 'You don't seem the type that would betray someone thus to kill him.' To his surprise, Ayin took a time to answer. When he answered, Taron noticed for the first time that Ayin had been speaking in a far more down-to-earth way then he had been when they had first met. 'I'm not really what you see before you now. Leastways I haven't always been. You see me now as one resigned to the failure of his life's goal. When I was still in business, I was ruthless. I don't know whether I should be ashamed of that now, but I probably am either way. You realize that if two months ago you'd turned out to do something that'd cross my plans for that doomguard, I'd have killed you without so much as a blink.' Taron shuddered, but was amazed at this transformation. What failure sometimes seems to make of us, he mused. _________________________________________________ Nothing much remains to be told. They arrived at the Southwest corner of this great, unsettled continent that Ayin called Valorim after a few more days. When they reached the tip of the land, where it thrust into the sea, Taron saw a little hut standing on a small isle perhaps a hundred or so meters off shore. 'This is where we part, dear friend.' the mage said. 'I still have things to do in Pralgrad, despite this setback. I might visit occasionally, but don't count on it. 'You will find this hovel moderately habitable, and there's opportunity to gather, hunt or fish for your food here. There should also be sufficient writing equipment there. Don't worry about what'll happen to your work; I will come for it eventually to keep it safe.' Taron crossed the shallow water alone on his horse. How unreal all the past seemed. Only a year or so ago, he had been sitting on a small block of wood with a book on his lap in a Solaran fort. In a way, he had developed, Taron realized. Just a year had opened his eyes. Treason was often educational indeed. In another way, Taron realized, Linda's death had most certainly not been in vain. He was sitting here now, in freedom to write what he wanted, wasn't he, and not licking the boots of some petty emperor up North, right? He smoothened the scroll on which he had already drawn, in large letters: The Pralgradian Civil War. Being an account of the period of the years 180 to 212, Imperial Era Compiled by Taron Gregor Merallion, started on the third of Radiane in the year 212 IE, Southwest Valorim. Taron dipped the quill in the inkwell, thought for a moment, and began to write. __________________________________________________ OOC: That's my ending, I guess. The only detail it clashed with was Drakey's mentioning of Taron attending the coronation, which would be impossible under the circumstances. -------------------- Nasty trickster stalking the web! 406 victims!

All was going blurry. Taron numbly realized that he was standing in the middle of a battle field, but he made no attempt to move. A captain of the Populists was approaching through the carnage with a stretcher, aided by two other soldiers. He was saying something to Taron, but Taron did not understand it. He repeated it, shouting almost, directly into Taron's ears. Sounds. Then he understood. He was asking Taron to help carry Linda off the field. Taron stumbled clumsily alongside the stretcher, unseeing eyes fixed on the distance. He could not look at her face now, at those proud features, the irritable expression, and her eyes. He had seen her walk into certain death for her ideal. The scene replayed before his eyes over and over again, burning into his mind. He was vaguely aware that they had moved clear of the battle. The Populists who had accompanied Linda and Taron were fixing the stretcher onto a horse. Taron realized he was himself sitting on one now, though he had no memory of mounting it. The world receded to flickering bits of mist, and then darkness. Taron slumped forwards, held on the horse only by his stirrups. -------------------- Nasty trickster stalking the web! 406 victims!

So this is what history looks like from the losers' point of view. Taron and Linda were fleeing East with a few of the Populist contingents. Linda did not speak, and refused to see anyone. History had indeed taken a bitter turn for the Populists. Countries have to be ready for democracy, and Pralgrad was not. Pressed from two sides, they had had no choice but to escape East to try to ally with the one emperor that looked like he might be reasonably negotiated with: Gideon Ironclad. Jehan Sol had too much of an advantage over them, and Ilai Hugo would only use them. __________________________________________________ It is amazing what chance can get you if you're not looking for it. In this case, it got Taron and Linda an ally. They were passing through a small port city along the Gulf of Jazen; an insignificant little town named Turin. The mayor, who introduced himself as Flagstaff, was ready to give them what support they needed, having himself been a Populist sympatizer. He also gave them some news, which had not been able to reach them on their journey. He told them about the great disaster that had struck the Solaran navy. He told them about the mysterious loss of the last battleship of the Alliance. He told them about the recent moves of certain factions. And he told them about the mage. His name, as a local alchemist had recently discovered, was Ayin Yuvak, and he had been sighted several times riding past the city. This was no surprise to Taron; he had suspected that the mage had used this place to cross between West and East Pralgrad without passing through the heavily guarded passes. What surprised him was the fact that Yuvak had last been seen transporting a heavy, bulky object in a cart. Had Linda not received intelligence before their flight that the Doomguard had successfully been destroyed, Taron could have sworn it was this. But what else? __________________________________________________ In a dark corner of the little town, something moved. It was not easily visible, black against black, but it might have been discerned by a keen-sighted person as a man in black robes. __________________________________________________ Later that night, when the Populists were about to withdraw to the quarters the mayor had provided for them in the little inn, the mage visited them. Taron was not surprised. He had that icy, lead-like feeling that you get when you're certain you're about to die horribly. He was, however, surprised when Ayin Yuvak drew off his hood, raven-black hair framing a pale, but handsome face, and began to speak. 'Oh, do not be afraid, master Merallion. At the moment you seem to think I am inclined to tear your head off for what you did with the Doomguard. Yet it was exactly what I wanted.' 'What.... you... wanted...?' Taron got out after the initial shock of staying alive had passed. 'Yes, but I could not let you know that, you see. You knowing me only as an enemy, the only way I could incite you to do this deed was to command the contrary. You certainly did not think I gave away the Phoenix Egg for my own amusement, did you? As a matter of fact, the black crystal was nothing else than a linked object that showed me your location, which makes it far easier for me to trace the two of you. As for the little package, it would have destroyed the Doomguard as soon as you opened it with the construct in your possession. This monstrosity had to be stopped.' 'So. What about your true intentions, then, Sir Yuvak?' Linda had recovered enough to get an irritated tone into her voice again. 'You know my name already, it seems. Or one of my names. "Accidentally" leaving a rune-covered cloth is so effective... 'My true intentions? You have no need to know them. I did not specify them before, and I certainly shall not now. Suffice it to say that we currently follow the same objective, and that places you under my protection. And grants you my help. 'The passes over the central mountains are currently all held by either Sol or Hugo, neither of which will be inclined to permitting you passage. Therefore I supply you with a small boat with which you can cross the Jazen Gulf to bypass the blockade.' 'What were you carrying here a few days ago?' Taron wanted to know as the mage prepared to leave. 'That, too, is a thing you need not know. It has no bearing on your current situation, though you may eventually find out.' The mage's tone was final. 'I must be going now. Fare ye well.' He drew his hood over his head, turned around and was suddenly gone. ...

If you don't have free will, but you don't know it and think that every decision you make is your sole choice, then why complain? Does it bother you that you *might* not have a say in what you do, even though you have the illusion that you do? ;) -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!

We may never know... Some of them never return either. Like ASD for example. Are they in some sort of 'limbo', I wonder? :P -------------------- "And all should cry, Beware, Beware!
