Nalyd not only does that, but he keeps detailed records so he knows when to start on a different zone. He keeps, quite literally, everything. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

Oh, the remaining males would be very motivated to get their female companions back. They could probably manage something. And, besides, shouldn't James be bisexual? He is the god of all kinds of love, you know. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it. Posts: 1636 | Registered: Wednesday, January 5 2005 08:00 |

Seoth watched James silently. He was one of the few who knew of him, and they were more or less equal in terms of power. While James had, for a god, less offensive power than usual, his followers were the most numerous in the world. Seoth, while his followers were unwittingly so, had tremendous power on his own. James had done favors for Seoth in the past, and Seoth had done favors for him. As for Noric, well, he was insignificant, at least at the moment. Seoth needed a favor. He had sensed Sliroth awakening: as God of Balance, he could roughly sense the major happenings in the pantheon. James couldn't. The balance of good and evil was being disturbed. Evil was gaining too much power, though the deprivation of their undead was delaying them somewhat. Seoth had seen to that. James, as God of Love, would most likely side with Light, though an evil god of love wasn't unprecedented, like a neutral God of Undeath was. It would mean that the balance was almost beyond repair. Only the slaying of a major deity could reduce the danger level to almost salvageable, if that were the case. Sliroth, too, knew of Seoth, though their dealings had all been hostile. Sliroth's power was greater than Seoth's, though as God of Deceit, he made up for it in cunning. His awakening would make preserving the balance far more difficult. Seoth needed James to divert Sliroth. Tell him that Seoth was dead, imprisoned, exiled, anything to buy Seoth some time. Sliroth was an elder god; he knew the traces of Seoth's work when he saw them. Seoth could easily evade any of the currently living gods, but doing so would almost eliminate his activity. His current guise was that of an ogre, large and brutal. Seoth rather enjoyed the irony that such a huge and clumsy beast could easily evade any living being. It would be his undoing. He walked forward steadily, trying to figure out how best to tell James. He grew absorbed in his thoughts. Suddenly, sharp fangs bit into his shoulder. He bellowed, exuding lightning and gale-force winds from himself. The surrounding room and most of the building were blasted into the air, scorched and burning, with the exception of the vampire, Noric, his servant, who he had apparently been in front of, and James. The vampire? It had turned to mist and disappeared before Seoth could kill it. Wait. . . Vampire??? Seoth gazed in horror at his shoulder, at the gaping wound that could only be caused by the most powerful of vampires, and one with access to considerable weapons and magic. Mervingorix. Seoth swayed on his feet, his guise wavering, faltering. He collapsed, weakening, his flesh melting and molding into it's preferred form. James, caught by surprise by the lightning and wind, had tripped. Noric had been thrown backwards, though not violently. His follower had been thrown with him, and had sustained little more than mild injuries. Seoth lost consciousness. His last thought was The Vampires own me.

Sure. It was just an "Insignificant Mage-nation", after all. You can mess with it all you want. And by "Mage-nation", Nalyd meant that it was a nation that highly valued magic and put most of it's investments there. Highly advanced, abundance of mages, etc. [ Thursday, April 19, 2007 14:40: Message edited by: Spokesmage of the Dead ] -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Yes. Canisters are one-use only, while Geneforges can be used as often as one likes, barring periodic light maintenance. Canisters, apparently, also give more egomania-per-use than a Geneforge does. Serviles can't use canisters, either, though the reason the Servile PC can is unexplained. Probably because he used the Geneforge. Unskilled people also need different canisters, judging by Lankan's canister in G3.

But wouldn't killing the character allow resurrection by a priest? Please forgive Nalyd if this is a horribly naive question. You could alway attempt to get around that by increasing how dead they are (Petrification, dust, etc.). -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

If someone doesn't horribly mind Nalyd (Seoth) killing off their followers, PM him. It'll have story value. Nothing major unless you want it, but just a few priests and the like. He'll PM you back if he accepts. Safey, that's a bit generic. Well, more than a bit. And since this is an RP, spelling and grammar matter more than usual. No pressure, though. ;) Oh, and Nalyd might want to borrow some vampires. Just checking to see if it's okay. Edit, to avoid the evils of double posting- Nalyd added Storms and Undeath to his list of powers. Is that overpowering, or okay?

No, thankfully. Most people want the option to maintain a more moderate position. Nalyd himself thinks the Shapers are too strict in their laws. Not evilly, soul-crushingly strict, but simply frustrating. -------------------- Fear us, mortals, but never envy, for though we burn with power, our fuel is our sorrows.

If the Geneforge gave impossible power, then the Rebels would be unstoppable merely by possessing it. You don't want Rebels to win, do you, Tully? As it is, the Geneforge does exactly what the name implies: it forges your genes. And don't play down the significance of the G4 Geneforge. Giving the ungifted the ability to Shape and perform magic is no small thing. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Ooh! That might actually be feasible, even if the programming would jack up the price to $50 and delay the release for a year! At the beginning, you can either pick to go on normally, or create your own faction with a complex set of questions on Shaping restrictions, creation rights, and the like. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Hmm. This calls for a new challenge: Warrior using only crystals, and wands. No batons or melee weapons better than an iron shortsword. Blessing Magic and spellccraft are okay, but you can only use Battle creations. Healing shall not surpass level five. On Torment, of course. *Rushes off to torture self to tears* -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Seoth, God of Balance (In the philosophical sense, not the literal) Deceit, Storms, and Undeath, thought of his existence, as a mortal and then a god. The previous chapter had been spent as a manipulator, heartless but not cruel. He slowly seized power and influence until the day he had. . . But he would not dwell on that. His mortal life was unimportant and painful now. As a god, he was secretive and deceptive. He had slain two gods to gain his current role, one of evil and one of so-called "neutrality". Each was the slayer of two gods in their turn. Only three knew of his existence, and none were mortal. His worshipers served him unwittingly, though relentlessly effective nonetheless. There were no records left for others to discover him, though some had begun to wonder why there was no God of Storms or Undeath. It was that way with the gods who had filled this role before him. An endless chain of them, allying with light or dark, good or evil, as they saw it. Meaningless, in the end. They were forgotten now. As were all, eventually. He advanced slowly through the busy night, not bothering to hide himself. Any mortals who passed him saw nothing, heard nothing, smelled nothing. Any who would touch him simply slid away of their own accord. He passed through a fruit cart, leaving no traces. The skulled visage of his current guise would have smiled, had it been capable. He approached the town hall of Nerototh, some human capital of an insignificant mage-nation. Still, they had enough wealth in magic to attract one of his best, Kraol, and were good enough to capture her. Ah, well. She would come away better for it, with more respect for the mages she so feared. He usually let those inept enough to get themselves caught endure their punishment, but he had taking a liking to Kraol. He might bless her, given time. He stealthily stalked through the empty corridors, leaving the guards he met alone. Kraol wouldn't get a free ride from her unknown god. When he got to her cell, it's door shattered, spraying the area with stinging metal fragments, making his goal scream in fear and surprise. He hastily altered his guise, assuming the stereotypical vision of a thief: dark clothes, large daggers, slim and graceful. Kraol anxiously slipped her head outside the cell. He threw a sword, mildly enchanted to make it's wielder more skillful, at her feet, along with several perfectly normal throwing daggers. It would be enough. She was skilled. He pointed silently down the corridor, where she could plainly hear the guards coming. She didn't stop to wonder, merely snatched up the sword and daggers and ran. Pragmatic. Good. He easily assumed his preferred guise, that of a stained-black skeleton in a pure white cloak and hood, with it;s bones wreathed in lightning. He mentally sighed, slipping into the shadows to his next chore in the unending line of thankless duties he had as a god. Ah, well. He chosen it that way, long ago. It was worth it. Wasn't it?

Hmm. On second thought, Nalyd might join. Give him time too look it over thoroughly. If he joins at all, it'll be as a single god. No worshipers: he's a loner.

That seems a bit too. . . well, big for Spiderwebs' budget. The reappearance of Sucia is doubtful, since an entire game was on that one island. The resurfacing of Terrestria is doubtful as well, since players want something refreshing and new. The Barzite faction has been eliminated, and won't return with any influence, much to Tully's despair. Since this is the end of the series, Jeff will want something a bit more extravagant and complex than what you outlined. -------------------- Fear us, mortals, but never envy, for though we burn with power, our fuel is our sorrows.

Well, you can either destroy the Geneforge, in which you pretty much rule the world, or you can leave it standing, in which a lot of other Shapers use it and become create a worldwide war of chaos and death. There all also minor variations depending on which of the sects you let survive.
