No. Recently, in another thread, I discussed how I found a textbook (from the future) about the demise of the boards. In 2012 (I think), Alorael is tried for somthing or other, and then sentanced death by to firing squad. He escapes, of course.

Heh. I'm not a student. And I'll quit poking a stick in Shaper Lord's eye. I just think it's pointless him posting, is all, and when I think something, I say it.

That's all.

Lol, I would expect that from you. Well, sorry, there's a life outside of games. Hey, at least now you know that, right? Next thing you know, you'll be spouting around that you received a +1 Intelligence from this. Sorry, the real world doesn't work that way. You have a lot to learn, I'm starting to wonder if everyone can be saved.

I got +2 to Intelligence, and +1 to my Nature Lore.

I also found a Mace +4, that does 15hp worth of extra damage to people who post about the boards being rubbish.

Seriously man, if you think we are all sad, geeky individuals, you're right. And to be fair, a lot of us don't care. If you want to launch a crusade to get people outside, go blow up Miscro$oft HQ or something. Don't sttop to our level - we know it better than you do.

You should. I purposefully got myself canned. You can say whatever, but I could care less about titles on a minority forum. It's ok, though, if you follow wisdom from me, I just might be able to get you to go outside and experience the warmth of the sun hands on. That is, if the sun doesn't burn your skin off.

So tell me, if we are so worthless, and pathetic, and such cretins, why, oh why Shaper Lord, are you wasting valuable sunlight hours by posting here?

Just so you know, nobody has been Exiled in more than 300 years, and traffic between the surface and the caves has generally increased as time went on.

EDIT: Spring, Solaria is pink because it was the capital of the Empire.

OOC: I know. I'm playing on the facts that resentment might still exist.

At least, it does in Samuels.

And I changed the name. The past is still the same, but the Scimitar aint back. It's just inspiration.

IC:

A group of around 50 soldiers, heavily armoured are lining up outside of New Cotra. Samuels is making a speach to them:

Samuels: "Okay. To recap: The situation in Avernum is unknown. We've lost all contact down there, and I don't like it. We need to establish a small base down there, have a look around. You are to go the Portal Fortress, and try and use the portal to get down into the lower caves. Once there, you are to make contact with the first representatives of Avernum you can find. Alright? Dismissed."

The soldiers file past. One of the magi assigned to accompanythe group walks across to Samuels.

Morgain: "I don't like this. We could be walking into a death trap. We've had no contact from the pit for weeks now."

Samuels: "Still, we need to try and find out whats happening. We need an army. We need to destroy the Empire whilst it's on it's knees."

"But why?"

"Because they are bloodthirsty bastards. They exiled thousands upon thousands, casting them to their deaths. They hunted your family too! Can't you see? The Scimitar had it right. We need to take the battle to them. We need to avenge our fathers."

"But, Steven. That was centuries ago. We're at peace with the Empire. This is ridiculous!"

"We may be at peace with them. But do you think for a minute they wouldn't attack us if we got too big to handle? The Empire still butchers the asocial, those who don't fit in. I'm doing, We're doing this because it's right."

"I know... I just, shouldn't we focus on surviving for now? Bringing peace and order to the Upper Caves?"

"I'm assembling a group to try and recon around Erika's old haunt. Hopefully she'll have somthing we can use. And Morgain, you know why I need to do this."

"I know.... I."

"Good luck, friend."

Morgain leaves for the Portal Fortress.

I'm amazed by the lack of Brody in that scene. Ok, ok, I just wanted to use the name Brody, but still.

Marl: Kel went crazy 'cus you'd kicked the bucket. And got hit after that.

Just so you know, I had planned for 'Scimitar' to refer to the inner cabal at the helm of the Abyss Knights, but they can have another name. No biggie.

Given that last we heard from them, what little was left of Scimitar was turning the countryside of western Exile into a warzone, it's not a particularly illustrious group to associate yourself with. Your call, though.

Okay. Erm, you can have the name if you want. All I use it for was to kinda show the similarities between my group and the Scimitar of Av1 and 2. They both despise(d) the Empire, and still feel they were unjustly Exiled. And they both want(ed) to destroy the Empire.

As for being illustrious, I know. We aren't a big group. We hold very little land. Thats deliberate. We aren't going to change the world, unless we get allies. But we believe that it's right that the Empire pays for all the lives it took through both Exiling and then the War.

Erm, so yeah, I'll change the name to something else, if you like?

It was a cold day in the caverns of Upper Avernum, but then, it always was. Commander Stephen Samuels watched from his office in New Cotra as a flock of cave bats went squealing down towards the Portal Fortress. Turning back to an old map spread across his desk, he surveyed the lands he had managed to seize during the revolution.

The last week had seen bloody battles and heavy losses, but the Western Gallery of the Upper Caves were now secure, from New Formello right down to the Portal Fortress. Heavy Brigand resistance lay to the east and scattered to the north of Formello, but Samuels was sure he could take both Erika's Tower and Fort Emergance soon. Then, he would have a viable route to the surface...

As soon as we could afford the soldiers, he planned to try and use the portal to Avernum. It was a mess down there, from what he had heard, and it was high time that his homeland was reunited against the Empire scum once again...

Name: Avernite Protection League
Leader Name: Commander Steven Samuels
Location: Upper Avernum, from New Formello, to Portal Fortress. (Nothing East of New Cotra)
Description: A small group of Magi and Warriors determined to unite Avernum under a single flag and to put the Empire that had exiled them to the sword.

When the revoloution had hit, Samuels was a soldier in the Fort Emergence area. From a young age he had been told stories of the Scimitar, an old organisation of Avernum who held the single aim of escaping the pit. Enthralled by these stories, and the courage with which the Scimitar fought with, he become bitter towards the Empire, and the Avernite bastards that had sold their soul to them. Uniting a small group of magical users and soldiers from the Portal Fort, he took New Cotra and New Formello in quick succession, in the hope of bringing about a new order to the land.

The ultimate aim? To reunite Avernum in a war with the weakened surface-walkers, and the Avernites who had deserted thier homeland.

Seconded. I also have a mental picture of said old man using his hands for some, unfathomable reason. A reason, that, as far as I am aware, is in violation of the CoC.

I would also like to point out that I don't argue with myself, but only because I can't get a word in edgeways.

Far too long.

I average about 3 hours on the boards whilst at home (more on the weekend, less if I'm at work), and try to log on during college as well.

I don't know why...
