The tribe was located near the mountains. I'd say they were near the south side, near that small patch of desert between the two rivers. However, since the whole tribe is traveling with Avin, it's probably a bit of a moot point at this juncture. Also, LF? PM. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

It is rumored that there are deities even amongst the gods, and amongst them, even higher beings of existence. And this ladder of deities is infinite, with there always being something more powerful, and someone always ruling over someone else... And each of these ruling hierarchies watches over the last. - Alcazar, High Priest of Relipa, God of the Heavens. (Executed for blasphemy.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Halt!" Avin yells out to the shade. The shade, however, doesn't hear him or isn't listening. It continues its approach. Avin holds his hands in front of him, and mutters a spell. Bolts of energy fly from his hands, hitting the shade. The shade stumbles, but it doesn't die. Rather, it fires off a bolt of flame at Avin, who is knocked backwards. Gulix charges the shade, sword drawn. Avin realizes that he no longer has a choice, and he can't let the battle continue. In his mind, he sees the threads of energy that connect him to his tribe. Drawing on those thread, he fortifies himself with energy and fires a beam of ice at the fiery menace. It strikes true, and the shade collapses into fiery embers. Avin eases himself off the ground and walks over to the shade's remains. The amulet the shade had was gone, but the vial it had been carrying was still on the ground, intact. Stooping down, he picks up the vial and stows it away in his shirt. The tribe suddenly comes to the forefront of his mind. Thankfully, the drain he put on them wasn't mortal, but there were still several people who were sorely weakened by this event. Realizing that he was needed back at camp, he sprints out of the city. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Erm... Ephesos? My last IC was based on one of those shades. EDIT: In fact, most of those shades went to Kirwood. EDIT 2: Thanks, Ephesos.

Avin approaches, shocked to see someone from so long ago. However, before he can reach him, something slams it's way into Avin's mind: a disturbance from his spy at the inn. "That was fast," Avin thought. "Sorry, old friend, but you'll have to wait." Avin signals to Gulix, and takes off towards the inn with the chief right behind him. However, he stops at the town center... something wasn't right here... Avin had 475 years to hone his instincts. And right now, his instincts were telling him that there was something desperately wrong. He walks carefully, paying careful attention to his surroundings, and a conversation between two peasants becomes audible. "...dried up. It's as if the God of Water decided to hit us with a drought." The other responded, "You don't say! The well still contained water this morning!" "These two events are connected. I know it. Now, if only I knew how and why." Avin decided that his best course of action would be to check the well himself. He walks up to the well and, upon looking into it's depths, discovered that it was indeed empty. Or was it? Water suddenly starts inexplicably flowing back into the well. It fills about halfway before coming to a stop. At that moment, a house at the edge of town bursts into flames. Everyone nearby was soon either fleeing or rushing towards the burning house. Avin, however, stays put. His keen instincts are indicating something else. And he's determined to find out what's behind this. At that moment, he picks up a subtle odor. Sulfur. Something that a home wouldn't put off... but something more supernatural might. Avin prepares himself, but sincerely hopes it doesn't come to a fight. He exhausted most of his energy blessing the new child and creating the illusionary wall. The only way to mount any sort of decent offensive would be to draw energy from his followers. And that was something Avin did not want to do. In a whoosh of flame, a fire shade suddenly appears, approaching the well and carrying a vial of some red substance. None of the panicked townsfolk see it. And the only think standing between it and it's destination was Avin. OoC EDIT: Sorry, LF, but it didn't seem natural to have a spy at the inn and ignore it.

quote:You're missing the point. Right now: a) You have a deadly, incurable poison which can grant you more followers, and can even affect the gods. b) You're using said poison to contaminate dozens of wells in the most impossible places which, despite not taking affect immediately, is still incurable. c) Said poison is also an innate weapon in your character's body, which can contaminate someone with a single exposure. d) You summoned over 3 dozen fire shades in a single day. e) You caused a widespread drought in less than 24 hours. f) You're expending massive amounts of energy, and yet your character is not the least bit worn by such expenditures. Having one or two of these is fine. But you start going a little overboard when you have that much firepower at your command.

The primitive tribe had decided to continue traveling that night. The sooner Avin could get to his goal, the better, and he would prefer to keep the Ishnu tribe on a short leash for their protection. Not that they couldn't handle themselves... Avin had seen to that. They had passed a few merchants on the road, who stared at the preceding awestruck. Indeed, they stared after them hours later, stunned by the mass exodus of people. But now, it was just Avin, Gulix, and another tribesman. "I trust that you brought a weapon, Gulix?" Avin asked. "Of course, Avin." Gulix thought for a moment. "Talk, why do you ask that? You could easy find out for self." "First, it's 'say', not 'talk'. Secondly, I find it a measure of respect for you as a person. Just because I could see the answer for myself doesn't mean I should violate your privacy." Avin thought for a moment. "Let's put this to rest; the city is close, and I don't want to make anyone suspicious. Right now, we're just doing reconnaissance." Gulix gave Avin a baffled look. "Scouting, Gulix," Avin clarified. The city gates were extremely close now. "Now, if we get questioned, let me do the talking." Avin and his entourage walk through the city gates. Their appearance seems to make an impression amongst the guards, but thankfully, no one decides to question them. They make their way quickly and silently towards the temple, where Avin opened the ornate doors and walked boldly inside. Hundreds of people crowd around the appropriate shrines, worshiping their gods. He pushes past the gaggle of people and makes his way to the very back, where he found the shrine dedicated to him. Sort of. The unused shrine was crumbling and in many sorts of disrepair. No one had bothered maintaining it. He saw a marble statue of himself at the center of the shrine, also crumbling. "Perfect," Avin said softly. "Unused and untouched. This may be easier than I thought." Avin walked about the empty shrine, examining it's every detail. Then he moved to the front of it and waved his hands in a complex pattern. He heard a gasp of shock from his two escorts, but from his vantage point, nothing happened. He walked out of the shrine and turned around. From anyone viewing the shrine from the outside, it appeared as if there was nothing there but a solid wall. Avin experimentally reached for the wall, and his hand went straight through it. "That will do the trick." He then turned to the tribesman he brought along and said in Ishnuish, "Stay at the local inn. I want eyes and ears in this city at all times while we're here." The tribesman responded, and left. At that point, something caught Avin's eye; someone had set up some sort of arrangement in one of the shrines. He carefully pulled out a small wooden blowgun and loaded a dart with cyan feathers into it. Gulix did the same, except that he loaded a dart with plain-looking feathers. They then approached the shrine cautiously, where a man sat behind a table. Avin recognized him. "James?" -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here.

Smoke rose as a steady thread towards the sky. Several dozen rough-looking humans were gathered around a campfire, speaking in a low, guttural language. Many were carrying supplies, such as crude tools and weaponry. At first glance, they appeared to be vagabonds, but they were more… so much more… At least, that’s how the man at the edge of the camp viewed it. He stood in similar garb to the rest, but his figure easily marked him as being from the more civilized areas of Kalandha. And now, he was counting something that no one else could see. “416, 417, 418, 419… can we make it 420?” He said to himself. Suddenly, a note of distress entered his mind. It continued for several minutes, only to fade away as suddenly as it came. “420,” he added, a small smile playing across his face. “A new milestone for the Ishnu tribe… and for me as well. If I can keep this up, I’ll prove the pantheon wrong.” The smile increased in size only to be tempered by another thought. “Actually, after 500 years, there probably isn’t much left of the original pantheon in the first place. Well, I suppose having a little extra power isn’t something to complain about. But it still would have been nice to see the looks on their faces when I told them that my research had been a success. It’s a good thing I became the patron deity of the Ishnu tribe though. My role as the God of Languages has probably been all but forgotten. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone has taken my place.” He experimentally tried to translate a small bit of an ancient, obscure language in his mind. He did so with incredible ease. “Well, either there isn’t a new God of Languages, or there can be multiple gods of the same role simultaneously.” Someone approached him, the chieftain of the Ishnu Tribe. “You know the birth, Avin?” he asked in painfully halting Common. “You are well aware that I do, Gulix.” Avin replied with a far superior grasp of the language. “Do you wish to speak in your native tongue?” “No. I must learn Common. Though complicated, many speak it. If I to talk for tribe, I must learn to speak it well. Though I prefer Ishnufish.” “Ishnuish,” Avin corrected. “It’s nice to see you’re making such progress. I was afraid that I would have to teach you in a more… direct way. But it’s nice to know that it isn’t required of me to implant the knowledge directly into your mind.” “You did that for last?” “I did. Apparently, it’s an extremely painful process.” “Then I glad I am learning the easy way. You will bless the child, yes?” “Tomorrow. I will bless her before we leave.” “Thank you, great one.” Gulix then left. Avin stared out to the road that they had been following. If he remembered correctly, there was a great temple in the town ahead, dedicated to many of the gods that had existed. He wondered if it possessed a shrine to him. It would certainly make things easier, but if it didn’t. He had another, far more important reason for heading there. And if it worked… he was almost giddy with excitement. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

INIT_STATE does the job pretty well. In fact, it's required for a town script to run. Thus, you put whatever you want in it, and it'll run the instant you enter the town. It works so well, in fact, that it runs before the screen is redrawn, so you may want to use the force_instant_terrain_redraw() call to make it redraw before doing whatever you want to do. EDIT: Or, if you want to call a state other than INIT_STATE, simply put either set_state(#) or set_state_continue(#) into the INIT_STATE. (# being the number of the state.)

Alright, it's official! I really screwed up this poll! :P In all seriousness, here's how the results of the poll turned out: As you can see, there's a few minor discrepancies in the data. Namely, BA and Settlers are repeated twice, and Witch Hunt and Stairway didn't even appear. There's not a whole lot I can do about that, though, so you're out of luck there. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!
