Regardless, I still think they have no valid reason to pass such a law. If a person enters a bar, they should know the likely presence of drunks, much the same way a person would expect smoking in a casino.

I doubt passing the said law would decrease overall rowdiness in the first place.

Iffy, a sword firing chickens? I'm amused. :)

When is this RP finally going to end? I'm getting bored here.

Faction: The Thieves Guild

Ideology: Members strive to achieve comfortable living by robbing citizens, selling illicit materials, and placing a fee on those using their lands. The guild kills and traitors and misfits, very much like a gang. New members to the guild must prove their worth and have a digit from their feet removed.

History: Thieving, thieving, and more thieving. The rakshashi had little effect to their success.

Characters:
  • Luscinda: Owner of glove shop and overseer of skribbane shipments.
  • Ferrrald: Nephil Scout/Spy, skilled with bows and tool use.
  • Shamgar: Thief skilled in assassination
  • Benedict: Regulates Blackcrag passage
  • Howard Shears: Commands outpost in the Valley.
Sphere of Influence:
  • Blackcrag Passage
  • Control of Valley in Northeast Valorim/City of Amadis
  • Skribbane Shipments Note: Farmers in Bigail don't answer to Guild, they merely sell the stuff to them.
Relations With Other Factions: Request to Phoenix Empire to conquer province of Midori.
Ferrrald and Shamgar captured in Hunter territory.
Post Summary:
  • II - Hasted discussion foretelling Ferrrald and Shamgar sent to Keep of Tinraya. Also suggests possible future contact with Anama and Hunters.
  • III - Introduction to several characters, Ferrrald and Shamgar take off.
  • IV - Amadis commands Howard to build city in the Valley.
  • V -
  • VI Amadis requests Phoenix Empire to conquer province of Midori.
  • VII - The city of Amadis is completed. Ferrrald and Shamgar are captured in Sharimik.
  • VIII - Shamgar and Ferrald are interrogated.

A restless wind tumbled into the glove shop. The worn floor soaked sunlight from outside as Amadis paced nervously.

"The Keep! The Keep!" Luscinda glared, "what nonsense is this? I've overseen skribbane shipments for years, and we've never lacked any money."

Amadis became waspish, "I'm the elected leader and I make the rules around here. The Keep of Tinraya has potential for Skribbane shipments and theiving opportunities."

The shady cloaked figure from the previous night entered the shop. He positioned his garment so his eyes made contact when he spoke, "The Blackcrag passage is more successful than ever."

"Yes Shamgar, I'm aware of that. I'm still sending you and Ferrrald to scout out the Keep of Tinraya," Amadis shouted.

Ferrrald then entered the shop as well. The scar across his face made itself even more evident in the sunlight. He addressed the three patiently, "Let me and Shamgar go now. The soonerrrr the betterrrr."

"Yeah whatever," Shamgar sighed. He and Ferrrald left Amadis and Luscinda to their quarreling.

"Amadis you fool," Luscinda retorted, "Nothing good can come of this."

Amadis slammed his dagger into the table between them, "Shut up!" Amadis marched out of the shop slamming the door behind him.

---------

Ferrrald and Shamgar summoned several amateur thieves to go along with them. Well equipped and bearing sacks of food, the five of them walked nonchalantly through the gate. Fragrant forest lay before them as they set out on their adventure.

Freshmen- Algebra 1

That's the typical course, but the path can also look like these(Or at least in Winnemucca):

Geometry>Algebra II>Precalculus>Calculus I
Geometry + Algebra II>Precalculus>Calculus I>CalculusII
Algebra I>Geometry + Algebra II>Precalculus>CalculusI
Pre Algebra>Alegebra I>Geometry>Algebra II
And so on...I should have been on the second path on the list.

Jeff Vogel doesn't view the boards often, but most of his attention is directed towards the tech support and Avernum 5 forums as of currently.

The government has no right to enact laws of such sort. An individual bar should have the ability to enforce its own rules. However, a pub should maintain acceptable deportment among its customers.

In A1, weapons skills are easily raised and spells cost less points to cast.

True, but I doubt I would receive entertainment from the RP's final words. The story played out in an unorganized fashion, that's all.

Excalibur, your mind seems made up, yet you are unwilling to proffer your opinions.
My opinions have been presented in an egregious and ill-mannered fashion in topics past. Yes, my faith is solid, but I've learned better than to repeatedly try to yield it on the same people (Even though my actions were sheer evil and stupidity).

Do you believe that the differences discussed here are based solely on acceptance of the Bible as absolute authority on all things?
Rather, I'm confused in your regard to asking such things. I am of the inclination that the answer to the said question is blatant.

I apologize for calling this foolery, for surely something good can come out of it.

Razordisks are efficient at encroaching upon a creature's throat but they bear the burden of expense. Javelins, on the other hand, are relatively cheap and often found in dungeons.

I find this objection to be without merit. Since you must, like Kel noted, take an active role in order to feel that angar, stop taking that role. If your objection is to the lack of other threads in which you would feel more competent to respond, feel free to start them yourself. In the meantime, understand that this thread is serving a purpose and has remained more or less congenial up to this point.
Hopefully this thread will meet the same fate as "Omaha Mall Shooting." Pitting Christians vs. Atheists in a secular debate is complete foolery.

Junior year I presume, but I don't like ornks and guacamole.

Me:
Finals are next week. However, I never have need to study as I ace tests regardless.

1. A.P. English II
2. P.E. (Required)
3. French I
4. Geometry
5. Biology I
6. Algebra II (Advanced Algebra)
7. Mens Choir

When I moved to Winnemucca (between 7th and 8th grade) they refused to place me in the appropriate math class. That is why I have two math classes. I'm actually very skilled with math, and often finish my classwork half way through the period while everyone else has to take it as homework. I should be in Precalculus this year, which really drools that I'm not.

I commend the map ET, but you left out the Thieves Guild's valley in North Valorim(same one in A3). It's no big deal though.

Oh what joy I had writing the thieves' conversation.

II

In Lorelei
---
A mottled spider thrust itself from the wall, attempting to grasp a mass of its own secretions. The arachnid fluttered downward, landing upon cold stone. Rushed voices reverberated in the distance accompanied by the arrival of bleak torch light.

The spider squirmed frantically from its entwinement, scuttling haphazardly towards the wall. The approaching torches illuminated the vapid sedimentary rock it yearned for. The spider raised its pedipalps at a descending moccasin. The fangs became intermingled with its sister organs.

Ten thieves excited the dust slumbering on the stairwell. They stumbled into a nondescript chamber consisting of only a table and several braziers. Some carried sacks, which they disposed of in the braziers. A shady cloaked figure dispensed a noxious liquid into the metal containers.

Accounting for his head minions, Amadis ignited the sacks with his torch. The flax smoldered steadily as the characters claimed their appropriate places around the table.

Amadis stroked his whiskers thoughtfully as he spoke, "Alright, lets begin before the manure starts burning."

The group murmured in agreement. A lean, gray coated nephil sporting a vivid scar across his face addressed the others, "The hunters are gaining a foothold not far from here. I feel we should interfere."

Upon ending his suggestion one of the braziers bestowed its contribution. An unpalatable aroma permeated the chamber, arousing awkward countenance on the thieve's faces.

A shady cloaked figure seized his nostrils, "Our skribbane farms are in danger of the Anama. That has to be of more importance."

A ruddy man equipped with several torcs floundered, "We need more money...ugh...we should use the Footracer province."

The remaining braziers erupted into a beautiful blaze. Winces soon became prevalent amongst the chamber. The group continued their very nasal and halting debates for about fifteen minutes before Amadis spoke again, "The Keep of Tinraya appears wealthy again. I will direct orders as to our actions tomorrow."

With that the group clambered eagerly out of the room, not bothering to extinguish the braziers.

Excalibur, names don't say things. It had no choice, It is It's name.
"It" is a pronoun often associated with animals and inanimate objects. The name choice results in confusion, an event which is entirely not necessary.
