Do all of the little dungeon sidequests that you can. There should be a zombie temple and some Nephilim for you to clear out, and maybe some other random dungeons. But the river descent isn't very difficult anyway. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

A huge boulder crashed into the ground just a few feet away from Commander Helmut, sending him into a fury of curses and muttered oaths. Some of his men stood around, unsure of whether to retreat or advance, while others continued their charge at the walls. Helmut looked around quickly and took charge of the situation. "First and Fifth Regiments, fall back and defend the rear from that giant ship! Shields up! Get some mages to bring it down!" As the troops filed out to follow his instructions, he turned his attention towards the walls of the kitty fortress. The walls didn't seem very sturdy, and a few good jolts from a battering ram should bring them down. He turned to another group of soldiers and told them to bring out the ram and a second group to cover them and watch the walls. "Battering ram advance!" he yelled, and he clapped his hands with glee as the walls shook after the first hit. "Keep going!" he urged them. "Second, Third, and Fourth Regiments follow them in after the walls fall!" Several times Nephilim from inside the fort would rush to the walls carrying burning napalm or boiling water, but each time the elite Empire archers would mow them down before they could do any damage. After five hits, the gates burst open. At the same time, the rear divisions fell to the Bordrao. As Empire soldiers rushed into the fortress, Nephilim rushed out. Soon, the fortress was manned by humans, while Nephilim tried to breach the temporary barriers erected by Empire mages to stop the gaps in the walls. ==== Erion looked around in confusion. Nephilim were running all around him, grabbing weapons and leaving the stronghold. Before long he realized that he was being rescued. He snuck out of his tent and made his way towards the tent with the statue. Its two Nephil guards were still standing strong outside, and inside he could hear four Nephilim trying to lift and evacuate the statue. He ducked for cover behind an empty tent and waited for the Nephilim carrying the statue to leave the tent. Soon, all six Nephilim were running slowly in the direction of secret back exits. He couldn't let them get away. Calling on Kaz and uttering words of power, lances of fire shot out from his fingertips on incinerated several of the guards. The other two dropped the statue, drew their weapons, and charged him. Erion pulled out two knives from his boots and threw them with all his might at the approaching Nephilim. One was hit in the chest and dropped, but the other glanced at the knife in his shoulder and kept coming at Erion. He sidestepped the Nephil and ran past him towards the statue. Ducking a Nephil arrow, he picked up rocks from the ground and hurled them at the ferocious Nephil, hoping to distract him. At that moment, a Nephil carrying burning pitch toppled backwards off the ramparts, falling on the hapless guard and killing him. Erion said a small prayer and dragged the statue behind another tent where he stood watch. Soon the gates burst open, and soldiers flooded in. He greeted them as liberators and demanded to see the commander so he could show them what he had managed to capture. ==== "It's not that difficult to understand," Dervish Attan growled, frustrated at this clan of Nephilim's inability to grasp the terms of his deal. "If you don't attack humans, the Empire will provide a place for just Nephilim where they will never be bothered if you never leave. We get our peace, you get your peace!" The Nephilim made a big show about deliberating, even though Attan knew they still didn't understand. He sighed, resigned to a few more days of confused talk. He should have brought a Duskwalker with him to make it more comprehensible. While Attan was beating the Nephilim in his head, he failed to notice the small green goblins that came out from all around him. When he finally looked up, he saw that he was surrounded by fierce goblins carrying all sorts of maces and flails. "We sorry, Mister Attan, but they made us," the clan chief said, clearly not sorry. Dervish Attan gritted his teeth and drew his sword. "Well, you'll soon see the power of the Empire," he spat as he lunged at the circle of goblins. For what seemed like hours, Attan danced in and out of groups of goblins, sometimes leaving them dead on the ground and sometimes lucky to escape with only minor cuts and bruises. The battle was starting to take a toll on him, and he was bleeding from dozens of cuts and slashes. But the ranks of the goblins began to thin as well. As Attan speared the last goblin, he ran through him, straight into the chest of the clan chief, pinning him to the goblin and the mountainside. "Never. Betray. The Empire," Attan yelled as he brutally twisted his sword with each word. Finally out of adrenaline and blood, he slowly withdrew his sword and dropped to the ground. "Shaman, heal me!" he called out. "We will continue talking tomorrow morning with your new clan chief!" -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I agree with pretty much everything said :P The hardest time is the third quarter. In the middle something IRL can pop up and distract. At this point, you start getting into the dialogue of people you don't really care about. Coding has never been a problem for me - making innovative sequences is fun, even though most of you have never seen them ;) -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Thralni, there are several clans of Nephilim in the Jsoulza mountains. Right now, there's a clan controlled by goblins, a clan in contact with Spring, a clan under control of Zephyr, and a clan under my control. There may be a few other clans too. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Imperial Dervish Attan did not waste time. He had already dispatched his pigeon to General Baskil, and he had to make haste to reach the chieftan of another Jsoulza mountain clan of Nephilim. He hunched over in the saddle of his horse and kicked its flanks. The lower he sat, the farther away he was from the stench pouring out of his saddlebag. And the sooner he arrived at the next clan the sooner he could be rid of it. It took him another two hours, but he reached the next chieftan before sunset. He rode confidently to the center of camp and dismounted, holding the bag at arm's length. Triumphantly he pulled from the bag the head of a Nephil chief. "Behold!" Attan cried. "I have ridden your mountains of the menace the Rockdust Clan posed. As proof, here is the head of their chief, Famrrr!" Attan tossed the head at the feet of the chieftan. "Mmmrrr. Many thanks," the chieftan began. "The Duskwalker Clan is in your debt. But we cannot repay you with gold or trinkets. All we have to offer are our bows or our histories." Attan quickly cut him off. "We do not demand any terrible price from you. We merely ask that you try to band together as many clans as possible and spread the word of the evils of the goblins and the dangers of the Nephilim from outside the mountains. In return we will do more than just kill rival clan chieftans. We promise you protection forever. Your own cities and settlements unhindered by the Empire and human interference, as long as you remain independent. Does that sound fair?" The chieftan nodded his agreement. "You are wise and helpful. We do not wish conflict with the humans. Merely to write our histories in peace and live our lives as we are used to. We know these goblins often raid our farms and force us to use our bows. They try to spread word about the dangers of humans but we would not allow them in our buildings. Mmmrrr. If you would still aid us with warriorrrs, everything would be perfect." Attan nodded decisively and promised everything would be as he said before excusing himself to ride on. His work in the mountains was not done. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

In response to Zephyr's post: So many of your people are gone to the mainland, and so is your ship. While it may be close, it doesn't know anything is wrong. Also, I'd hardly call your stone block a character, since nobody can resurrect him yet anyway. Besides, you were warned in the terms of the original treaty. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

My take on the Chevyn/Starrus/Micah line of succession: Micah ruled as King from 777 - 836 IE, when he died and passed the crown to his second son, Chevyn. (His first son was Exiled with him and died soon after). Chevyn was Micah's second son and succeeded him after his death. However, the Council of Avernum controlled his every decision and did not even permit him to be officially crowned. They did not need to justify their control because everyone in Avernum knew of Chevyn's reputation for being a simpleton. The most notable event during his "reign" was the Second Slith War, but his actual handling of war affairs was minimal. When Starrus, Micah's third son, turned 13, the Council made him king in Chevyn's place. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

"We expected this," General Baskil told Dervish-Emperor Tarkun. "And now we do what we've wanted the entire time." ==== Troops deployed from the north coast of Pralgad and dozens of giant troop barges headed north to White Peak Island. Landing on the east and west sides of the island, the troops converged rapidly on the Nephilim in the middle of the island. Slaughtering scattered Nephilim, they did not encounter real resistance until the stronghold in the center of the island where many of the Nephilim had fled to. Most of the soldiers under the command of Commander Helmut began to fortify the area around the stronghold and prepared for a long and difficult siege. The other soldiers went about the business of restoring human rule to the island, coaxing the terrified peasant farmers out of the woodwork. Constant watch was kept for something frightened and angry Nephilim referred to as the "Bordrao."

The messenger departed as soon as the emissary from Kaz arrived. He rode long, hard, and fast, around the edges of the Ndovlu mountains and towards the Jsoulza mountains. The western journey was hard on him and his horse, and they stopped to make camp about halfway to the mountains and dead tired. They reached the edge of the mountains the next night, but they did not stop. Stealthily and yet not sneakily, he rode through the mountains until he reached the main camp of the Bordrao bandits. He calmly walked to the tent of the leader under the cautious eye of the other Nephilim. With no weapon drawn, he announced himself as a messenger from the Righteous Return. He personally delivered his message to Hmethrrr. Dear Hmethrrr, There has been a change of plans. You must marshall the other nephilim of the mountains and stop them from attacking the devotees to Kaz, Lord of War. Instead, they can focus their efforts in two directions. Moving north, through the lands of the Order of Kaz and attacking the Solaria Group. I would imagine that your group would prefer this course of action. If you so choose, allow some Nephilim to remain and marshall the Nephilim still here to attack the goblins that plague the continent. Either way, Nephilim, the Order of Kaz, and the Righteous Return will work together to ensure the safety and security of our interests on Pralgad. My messenger, Imperial Dervish Attan, will remain with the group that stays to fight the goblins. The choice is up to you. Together in peace, Dervish-Emperor Tarkun -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

A lot of people are missing an important point. An abortion is a serious decision to be made, and it should not be made lightly. Having an abortion based on the sex of the baby is a frivolous reason for an abortion. The only real reasons I can see for an abortion are 1) the health of the mother is in danger 2) the mother was a victim of rape/incest 3) the parents are far too young to raise a child. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
