Chaotic Good Elf Bard Alignment: Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit. Secondary Class: Detailed Results: Alignment: Law and Chaos: Law ----- (-1) Neutral - XXX (3) Chaos --- XXXXXXXXX (9) Good and Evil: Good ---- XX (2) Neutral - (0) Evil ---- (-3) Race: Human ---- XXXX (4) Half-Elf - XXXXXXXXX (9) Elf ------ XXXXXXXXXXXXX (13) Gnome ---- XXXXXXX (7) Halfling - XXXXXXXXXXXX (12) Dwarf ---- (-4) Half-Orc - XX (2) Class: Fighter -- XXX (3) Barbarian -XXXXXXX (7) Ranger --- XXXXXXXX (8) Monk ----- XXXXXXX (7) Paladin -- X (1) Cleric --- XXXXXXXX (8) Mage ----- XXXXXX (6) Druid ---- XXXXXXXX (8) Thief ---- (-4) Bard ----- XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (15) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Delis. The Hunter forces have largely moved east to address the growing threat of the Alliance of Science and Education. The recently-appointed Commander Brighston, a man who had no position in the Hunters before who was promoted out of necessity, is in the central courtyard attempting to boost morale by placing haphazzard discipline on the soldiers still keeping control of the city. Then, he hears a series of bangs and a loud whizzing noise from the south. BANG! A spray of red fireworks erupts over the city. All of the soldiers stare at the sky, having never seen such a spectacle before. Then, a louder explosion is heard, and the distracted soldiers barely have time to turn around before cannonballs begin to tear through them. The Guild's pirate ships land in the city's harbor completely unchallenged with a whimpering Brighston standing nervously before them, attempting to save face. Then, a man with a gold parrot on his shoulder leaps off of the leading galley triumphantly and walks over to Brighston. "Yar, ye scurvy-ridden scallawag! I be Cagnazzo, leader of these thar pirate fleets, and baron of the oceans!" "S-sir..." "Arr, silence unto ye, matey! Arr. We be takin' yer city, yarr. And as long as ye--" Brighston walks over to 'Cagnazzo' and whispers in his hear, "Listen, Philipe, it's Rothgar. I've already got this city under control and I've distributed the cure." 'Cagnazzo' quietly steps back. "Well, ye landlubbers, ye now be under the property of the Guild, ye hear? Yarr. And ye best be happy with it!" The soldiers who haven't been scared lifeless immediately raise their arms and drop their weapons. Those who are too scared to move are dragged to the side by their more controlled comrades. 'Commander Brighston' and 'Cagnazzo' go to the barracks to sign over a contract written by Rubicante authorizing the surrender of the city. ---- Krizsan. Archmage Eghan was currently walking with Lyonard down a series of basement levels under the capital building. These passages were almost covered with cobwebs and every step they took shook up dust. "So, you're telling me that these passages are totally secret?" "Yes, that's true. I've told very few officers of their existence, only the ones I know I can trust. You remember the priest with whom you had an address with the 'Director,' right?" "That I do, 'Guardian.'" "As do I. Look." Lyonard takes a pause, turns to his right and presses one of the stones in the wall a foot into the wall, causing a section of wall to push back, revealing a hidden chamber. In it is the Anama priest with countless bruises all over his body. He is chained firmly to the wall and looks as if he has not eaten in days, yet he is still alive. Eghan turns back in shock. "Wh... What have you done?!" Lyonard laughs. "This traitor, Igsaeon, was sent here by Enlightened Anama. When his plan of coaxing McCallister into converting Krizsan into Anama failed-- and for that I thank you-- he began to rally up some of the radical elements of the peasantry, fire-and-brimstone clergy and mercenaries in order to begin exterminating magi. So far, two of your students, Theolod and Gared, number among their victims. And where is your sympathy now, Eghan?" Eghan, thoroughly riled up after hearing this, began gathering energy at the tip of his staff. Before letting it become a fireball, however, he jammed the fiery metal into Igsaeon's groin and made a deliberate movement upwards, dissecting Igsaeon like a mottled tapeworm. The Anama made facial movements as if he were in pain, yet he was too weak to make any sound. Then, his neck was seared open, and soon Eghan released a fireball from his staff in front of Igsaeon's face, causing nothing but his charred skull to remain above his shoulders. "That is one of a few reasons why I have brought you here." "Oh?" "I've been gathering the magi in Krizsan for both protection and political power. I heard from contacts most of what you proposed to McCallister... And I agree. I do." "Howso?" "I want to establish a university. One to promulgate magic. And I want to do it here." Eghan stepped back for a moment. "What?! We'd be killed- not just us, but you too!" Lyonard shook his head and put a chain mail hand on Eghan's shoulder as they walked out of the room. "If McCallister has his way, it will be either that you die or that you wish for death. And besides, all other universities on Valorim are either miniscule or looted. If a magical university is established here, it'll be one of the best outside of the Dominion." Eghan shuddered. The Dominion was many things, least of which was generous towards its members. "Fine. Fine. Let's assume that I agree to help you with your underground university. Then what?" Lyonard stopped in front of a wall and pressed a button, revealing a large meeting hall, well-lit and buzzing with activity. There were some two hundred men, all of whom were wearing magi's robes. "Then, Professor Eghan, it's classtime." Eghan took a great while absorbing the room and measuring the power of most of the people in it. Lyonard saw this and said, "True, most of the people in here are less than apprentices... And yet, you will still find them eager to recieve your education. In exchange for helping me raise a cadre of magi, I will promise to keep McCallister's presence out of this lair. Plus, I guarantee you, more magi will be sent as demand rises. And to make sure that you aren't followed, I have sleeping quarters down here. Don't worry, Eghan. You're in my hands now." "That's exactly what I am fearing, Guardian." "Call me Lyonard. And I understand your fear-- but keep in mind that even if I am a politically-minded misanthrope, I'm a misanthrope who recognizes your power. After all, who do you think caused the Revolution?" "You're not saying..." "You're right. I'm not saying. In fact, I'm leaving now. Some of the already-appointed executives of this place will tell you more about it. All of the rooms here are hidden; do try and memorize their locations." "...very well, Lyonard. You have a deal." The two shook hands as Lyonard entered a secret passage emptying into his bedchambers. As he re-entered his office, he finds at least ten different officers of varrying ranks panicking. Slowly, the sound of pandemonium fills his ears. "The sky is burning! Ashes and fire! We're all doomed! The sky is burning!" Lyonard spits, locks the door to his bedroom and violently shoves the neophytes out of his way and storms out of the building. What he sees is beyond comprehension. ---- Barbariccia. Rubicante is staring up at the sky surrounded by at least fifty of his finest agents. The entire sky has turned black, punctuated by a gigantic, spiraling, gaseous red star centering to the south of the ship. Cagnazzo fights his way past Rubicante's bodyguards and tugs on the Guildmaster's sleeves. "C... Cagnazzo. It's above..." "Aye...! The ruins! Scar. What be this, sir? Does ye know, sir?" "This... This I do not know. Does anyone?" "The red light, it be eerier than the whole world! What be it for? Is the end coming? Sir!!!" "Calm down, Cagnazzo. Nothing has happened yet, and even if it's going to happen, we have no way of knowing how to deal with it." "But sir, what is that? What?" "Nothing! It's nothing." "No way that be nothing, sir!" "Then it's something. What do you want me to say?" "I want ye to be telling me why in hell's blazes you gave Scar to that beast!" "I told you before, you insufferable dunderhead. If it was going to kill us, it'd have done so anyway. You give away your sword with a dagger at your neck." "Fine, fine. But how, sir, will we be dealin' with thar storm?" "I think we just sit it out. Come on, let's go down to the lower decks and organize our ranks there. This devilish sky is wreaking havoc on our troops; if we get them out of sight of it, maybe they'll calm down." ---- On that day, all of Ermarian looked to the sky and saw nothing but blackness with gigantic, red tendrils spiraling clockwise from the northern coast of Vantanas. All commerce stopped. All magicians were, for that one precious day, completely flustered and unable to respond. All of Ermarian watched helplessly as the gigantic Red Star dominated the skies. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Tool use outside of the "original four" tends to be overridingly worthless. Nature Lore is useful with Canopy (Naturshand) and the DoK weapons... That's it. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

#1: A little plain, though the blood pools are nice. #2: Too "goody-two-shoes" for a temple of pain. #3: Too bright. #4: The tiles are too bright, but I do like the waterfall/statues motif. #5: Too bright. #6: I love those lanterns. It'd be nice for a courtyard or walkways. #7: The while floor is too bright, otherwise good. #8: The walls are too bright. Also, you might want to make "corner waterfalls." -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The most annoying part is the dialogue-- aka, ending details. The most lethal part is the middle-- it's far too easy for something big to crop up in the real world that will obliterate your odds of finishing a scenario. The outright hardest part tends to be in the middle-- aka, pushing the envelope with coding. (And you will see just which part I'm talking about in my next scenario.) -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

quote:Well, it'd pretty much have to be Bahss, Canopy, OoK or EM for one simple reason- all other scenarios allow the party to level up, so if the party can kill one random enemy, the party can feasibly win supremely. EM might be too "easy," as might OoK. Bahss also has a LOT of fights to allow a party to potentially beef up. I'm going with Canopy on this one simply because its dillema is always "kill or be killed," which is best-suited to lower-leveled parties anyway. Bahss, on the other hand, focuses on long struggles, in which low-level parties will simply run out of energy and expire, so to speak. Since Canopy on the other hand gives the party a tremendous trove of energy potions, this becomes less of a dillema. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

I think the best anyone did on Canopy was Thuryl-- level 20, torment. Creator at a lower level ended up barely beating some of the bugbear enemies (including tigers), but he absolutely couldn't beat the invisible warriors. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
