Legends of Divinity IC in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Friday, April 27 2007 13:42 Profile Homepage #85 Fourty entered the Forsaken camp and looked around. The camp seemed to be one large wagon, an open space with a few small fires, and several large tents. The sun was just beginning to rise, but most of the Forsaken were already up and working. Some were preparing breakfast while others were rolling up sleeping pads and taking down tents. There appeared to be about 200 thin, ragged people, all talking or arguing as they worked. But something seemed odd. Everyone stopped and stared at him when he entered. Talsh led Fourty over to where an elderly man sat in one of the few chairs and a stern, fit-looking man in his forties stood. "This is Zvalt, a priest of Ashataro. Zvalt, this is Bucklar, our chief priest, if he were allowed to claim that title..." Talsh gestured towards the elderly man. "...and this is Rab." Talsh nodded at the stern-faced man. A woman about Rab's age rushed over. "A visitor? Talsh, I'm nobility. You should have introduced me first." Talsh sighed. "I'll introduce him to everyone in time. You weren't going to be left out. Zvalt, this is Alexandria." Alexandria looked slightly offended "My full name is Lady Alexandria Madeline Stonehurst. I will be satisfied with Lady Alexandria." Talsh led Fourty over to meet another group. "Just ignore her haughty airs. Everyone else does. Now, this is..." It wasn't until Talsh introduced Fourty to a small, black-haired girl only about seven years old that Fourty realized what was wrong. "And this is..." "Talsh, where are all the children?" Fourty asked. "Do you know why we are out here?" Talsh asked quietly. Fourty nodded. "Then you should know that Harath no longer hears our prayers or grants our blessings. The priests interpreted that to mean no rituals or ceremonies. No naming ceremonies, no weddings, no last rites, nothing. We kept our names because it would be impossible to live without them, but all titles were stripped and all marriages were nullified," Talsh said. "Ah. I see. Harath is a very traditional god. So, no naming ceremonies? What is her name?" "Noname." Talsh said simply. He led Fourty to the wagon, where everyone was congregating. "I'll have to introduce you to everyone else later. A meeting is about to begin. Of course, you probably don't remember most of the names anyway." Fourty smiled. "I have a surprisingly good memory." He had had a very long time to work on it, after all. "Are we all here? Can I start?" Toby asked. Without waiting for an answer, he began. "So, me and Bev just got back from a quick trip to Ischara village. You know, the one closest to the haunted forest? Apparently, they're having a wolf problem." "A wolf problem?" a fifteen-year old girl named Hava asked incredulously. "But wolves are sacred to Harath!" "Ay. A wolf problem," Toby said. "Then one of the farmers must have done something to anger Harath. Losing a few livestock is the least of his or her worries!" "But it's not like that. The wolves are much larger than normal, with red eyes and no fear of humans at all. They're possessed by spirits or demons or something," Toby said. "Did you actually see these wolves?" Bucklar asked. "Well, no..." Toby began. "Then it's nothing more than a rumor. You know how rumors are," Bucklar said dismissively. "...but I did see the temple after the attack." There was a collective gasp. "Harath's temple?" Rab asked. "Of course. There aren't any other temples! The wolves got into the village somehow one night and went straight for it. They completely ignored the executed criminals and went for the priestesses. Killed 'em both and fled. None of the wolves were killed." "But... but that's impossible!" "Preposterous!" "Nothing like that has ever happened. Nothing!" "Maybe they were worgs?" "Worgs? Those are just a legend. Besides, they're properly called wargs." "I've always heard it as worgs." "What do you know?" Suddenly, Bev bleated in terror. Noname screamed and pointed. Everyone turned to look. Three large wolves had somehow snuck up on the camp. Their red eyes were focused on Fourty. Fourty stared back. "Oh dear." --- Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Anyway, may I suggest slowing the Geltor/Seoth/etc. plot down a bit? By this, I mean spend some time debating how the fight is going to go in private a bit before posting the next set of ICs. It's getting rather difficult to keep up with the constant posts and edits. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Thursday, April 26 2007 07:21 Profile Homepage #163 Originally by Lord Safey: quote: I could decrease their numbers easily, however the general consensus was that the indivual soldiers where two powerful. I was tired of the incesent whining so I destoryed them. Okay... so what was so hard about just making them weaker? Instead of giving them all sorts of special abilities, treat them as you would elite human soldiers. quote: Yes I call it whining because all ya'll did was complain about what I did wrong and didn't off any methods of correcting it. Say what? I offered you several suggestions. Scouting missions... political infighting... making most of the summoned demons non-combatants... sound familiar? Whatever. What's done is done. Don't change it. Just don't give your new demons all sorts of crazy abilities and know that a cure for demon blood will show up eventually. Dikiyoba.

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, April 25 2007 16:14 Profile Homepage #1 If you have any spells or items (speed or speed spores, etc.), use them before the battle. Then hammer away at the Shaper and kill him as quickly as possible, since he can deal a lot of damage and can summon new creations. If you need to, have one of your creations distract his. Dikiyoba.

Legends of Divinity IC in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, April 23 2007 15:04 Profile Homepage #59 Fourty arrived a safe distance away from the Forsaken camp. He had his disguise all worked out--he wasn't willing to reveal his true nature quite yet. Then, something caught his attention. He turned east and stared across the river Sonne at a nearby range of mountains. Something was going on up there. Something big. Fourty shook. He wasn't used to sensing all this. What did it all mean? Who was involved? Who was winning? And what would this mean for the people of Mannik? Fourty? Vizoth's thoughts reached the back of Fourty's mind. I sense something. Vizoth was nervous. Fourty could sense it. Fourty was nervous too, but mentally reached out and tried to calm him. I sense it too. I don't know what it means. Hopefully, I can find out. But I need more time. Fourty pushed the disturbance in the mountains out of his mind and tried to concentrate on the task at hand. "Dang it, I need more time!" He spoke without realizing it. Instantly, the Forsaken camp was on the alert. Something came galloping towards him. Fourty hoped it wasn't a dog. He hated dogs. "Bev! Bev, you stupid beast, no!" A man ran after it. The animal came to a halt right in front of Fourty, bleated loudly, and headbutted him gently. The man stopped in shock. "Well, I never! He even tries to attack people he knows entering camp. I never would have thought he would take a liking to a stranger." Fourty found Bev's halter and walked the goat back over to the man. "Nor would I. Did he pull loose?" "No, I was walking him to a new spot for the night when he broke out of my hand. Say, who are you? I thought you were a farmer, but you don't look like you're from around here." Several other people from the camp were approaching cautiously. Several of them were carrying poles like quarterstaves. "Toby? Who is it?" one of them asked. "A stranger. Not a soldier," Toby said. Fourty noted that he smelled strongly of goat. Fourty bowed slightly. "Greetings. I am Zvalt, a wandering priest of Ashataro. I am studying those who cannot or choose not to reside under the protection of a deity. However, I also have an important message to give you. May I enter your camp?" "Do we let him in?" someone asked. "Me and Bev say he should!" Toby said. "No," Meeka said firmly at the same time, "What could he tell us that we don't already know? I don't trust him." These two statements caused an uproar. Fourty was amazed that just eight or nine people could cause such a commotion. "So we take advice from a goat now?" "Why don't we let him in and find out?" "Strangers are bad news!" "How could we be so disrespectful as to turn him away?" "Let's hear what he has to say!" "But let's do it right here and then send him away. No sense in him getting information about our camp!" "Nonsense! Everyone should hear his message, not just a few!" A man in his early twenties leaned on a shovel, saying nothing and watching Fourty carefully. Finally, he spoke quietly. "I believe that Harath has indicated in his writings many times that we should be welcoming hosts. I vote that Zvalt enters." "Well, young Talsh here knows the scriptures better than any of us do, and if he says to let the man in, then we let him in." Most people nodded in agreement. Talsh stepped towards Fourty. "The first thing you will observe about us is that we argue. All the time. Come. We will show you back to camp." --- Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
