And if it was faked, then by all means let the Chinese get there first... then we'll be able to do it better.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, May 11 2007 18:42 Profile Homepage #133 IC: With a series of quick gestures, Eos put out the blazing buildings. Nothing was left aside from the charred shells, though Sliros had felt the fleeting presence of another god. One not as young as the rest, but not an ancient. Sliros put the thought from his mind, as he could feel stronger minds in the city. Eos caught the god's attention. "As I said, it is good to see you back," he said, disappearing in a cloud of steam. ...and then Sliros felt the presence of another, uncomfortably close. It was the confused god again, and he was ranting about the end of the world. Sliros smiled, and turned to walk back to Joth. They never learn... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, May 11 2007 18:06 Profile Homepage #318 Nioca, that sounds good. LF. Okay. So, it seems we need to talk about this. Yumi is a bad character because she has next to no plot relevance, no discernible motivations (ADD is not a motivation), and has a really annoying personality. To be honest, I've stopped reading any of your posts that don't have James in them. Because what you've done here is taken a pre-existing set of characters with pre-existing relationships, tweaked them a little bit, and then expected this generic fantasy world to conform to them. You see, we see your stuff as unacceptable at least in part because we don't know everything that James and company did in their D&D campaigns (and honestly, I don't care). Of course, there's also the fact that they keep doing very outlandish things (the tech-ed up lair is still just wrong). And don't complain about the setup you have, because you dug your own grave there. You could've given yourself something reasonable. This is a lesson in pre-planning. Simply put: Don't. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

You can have that last shade, just deal with it. :P EDIT: I mean, this is all honestly just me saying "no" to Safey. What he did wasn't so much a gift as a ticking time-bomb. So I defused it. :P I'll try and write a proper IC (read: not dealing with any more demons) later this weekend.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, May 10 2007 20:18 Profile Homepage #128 IC: After Fallian left, Sliros paused. He wanted to continue determining the worth of the others present within the city, and considering the merit of Fallian's gift. And he still felt an echo of Tuoni's presence, an echo thin enough to make Sliros worry for his fellow ancient. However, the god felt a disturbance, and he vanished from the top of the spire. -------------------- Zeth was surveying the district from his window, trying to get an idea of what buildings could be salvaged. There was more than enough in Joth to cobble together a decent existence, it was just that nobody had been able to rally the inhabitants toward a collective effort. As his eyes skimmed over the broken spires and slums, Zeth could feel hairs rising on the back of his neck. Something else was in the room with him. He spun around, picking up the pottery shard dagger he'd grown more and more accustomed to as of late. Nobody was there. But for some reason, his lantern was sparking. He walked over and stared at it for a little while. It continued to spark, but it made no other threatening movements. Then, a long slender claw extended from the face of the lantern. Panicking, Zeth thrusted the dagger into the lantern, scattering broken glass and embers across the bare stone floor of his room. A wisp of smoke drifted up from the ruined lantern, and the embers slowly went out. The claw was gone. -------------------- Sliros now carried Orderforge at his side, though he never expected to use it in combat. A mundane weapon such as it was more than useless compared to his double-bladed staff. And particularly now, a mundane weapon would do the god no good. He could feel the newcomer's presence. The pretender, trying to even dream of what Makroangkeen could do with a flick of his claw. Sliros had respected the demon, despite their disagreements. At least he knew how to wage war... this one, he had no idea what he was getting into. Another shade loomed up on the god's left. A swing of the staff, and the shade fell apart, embers scattering among the wind. Sliros pulled the vial of demon blood and the amulet out of the cloud of glowing embers, crushing them in his gauntlet-covered hand. Nine... why do they always insist on round numbers? He felt another portal nearby, and he lashed out at a streetlamp (which was already suspicious for being the only lit lamp on the street). The embers scattered, and Sliros felt the connection to the netherworld scramble. Maintaining so many portals... over-extending himself like an amateur. Ahead of him, a city block was ablaze. Sliros could feel the distance between himself and his followers in Joth, and it was wearing on his strength. If he had to fight the pretender himself, Sliros might have to actually exert some effort. In any case, Sliros could feel the last of the fourty shades (Seriously, round numbers...) in the midst of the blaze. A moist breeze followed the god up an alley, and Sliros was joined by what could only be the patron god of the Eos river, who naturally bore the river's name. He had not aged well. "Awake at last, I see..." Eos whispered. His long hair had turned cloud-white in Sliros' absence. "Plind, one of the major water gods, has been slain by the one known as Geltor. I have been hard-pressed to defend myself, and I am glad that you have arrived." Sliros simply nodded. So far, not a drop of demon blood had touched the wells, the portals were disrupted, nearly all of the amulets were destroyed, and now Eos could likely ease the drought for the city... Sliros felt at ease for once, despite the fact that his task was technically not yet done. Eos gestured to the building. "Shall I take care of this?" EDIT: Fixed inconsistencies. Thanks, Nioca.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, May 10 2007 19:13 Profile Homepage #10 Yeah, that doesn't really sound like a bad thing, ADoS. Good idea, really. I'm an environmental studies major, and I just finished my sophomore year (I literally moved back home for the summer today). It's been interesting, and the past semester was the first where I actually took a majority of classes within my major. Of course, one had a more or less worthless professor, but it's all fine now.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, May 10 2007 11:34 Profile Homepage #284 FF, that is perfect. Seriously. You see, I do a lot of improvisational acting. And there are certain principles of it that fit in perfectly with RPing. One of those is the idea of giving gifts to the other players. Someone offers you something to build off of, you go with it, and the story is that much better off for it. That said, that was a perfect gift, FF. It solidified the story in terms of Sliros' past, why Marras is in Kirwood, and the history of the world at large. I've been wondering a bit myself about how things work with Sliros, and particularly with the "cycles of nature" line, I'm starting to get ideas. Also, thank you for accepting my gift of Makroangkeen. I was hoping that it could contribute to the story a bit. So, that's that. On to other stuff: -LF, please don't create a rising menace. Whatever it is you're planning, don't do it. Also, you're creating people. Are these simulacrums, golems, what? Because I think it's a bit too much to allow a god to create people, if only because FF's post suggests that it was more of a collaborative effort. -Safey, what are you doing? -ET: Yay. Thanks. Why'd you cut the finger line, though? -Nioca: Yay! New person! -I should have another IC this weekend. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
