I've played the first three demos. Geneforge was the only game of the three I enjoyed. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Chapter 4 -1 Ivanhoe laughed. The exterior walls of the ramparts were composed of a white sandstone conglomerate. However, he reinforced the walls with durable treated granite. Anama boulders could easily destroy the outer shell within three days, but penetrating the granite would consume two weeks. Ivanhoe regained composure. He knew the Anama were a formidable foe. His citizens were incapable of proper battle, which prevented him from battling the formation. He stared at the ceiling, as if he was imploring for answers. The midst of an hour passed. The waxen candle disintegrated to a stub and the walls turned dark. Ivanhoe lit another candle thoughtfully. Then an epiphany struck him. Ivanhoe scavenged for a sheet of papyrus. He withdrew a felt-tipped pen from his drawer and began composing a challenge. It read as follows: "From General Ivanhoe, defender of Bustoke: I hereby address the Anama. I fail to ascertain the motives for capturing Bustoke, as I have nothing that would interest you. However, I propose a challenge. The basis of the challenges is as follows: If I manage to destroy all ten of your catapults you shall vow to leave Bustoke permanently and acknowledge my independence as sovereign. In return I shall provide you with a quality article of mithril chain mail, as I possess two. If you wish to respond, project a message laden arrow over the ramparts." --2 Bustoke claimed a modest public armory. Various implements of war rested upon cobwebbed tables. Ivanhoe scanned the room. In the corner was four bows and thirteen quivers. He stumbled towards its location, regarding the low ceiling simultaneously. He selected a simple ash bow and loaded quiver. Ivanhoe securely locked the public armory in order to prevent over zealous citizens from turning vigilante. He navigated the halls in dim light, careful not to stir sleeping individuals. ---3 Upon the ramparts now, Ivanhoe witnessed the scene below. Since catapults could not be operated in the dark, the Anama lay at rest. He heard several troops conversing in low, jolly voices. He raised the bow, crossed his fingers and fired. Ivanhoe sighed in relief. His training with archery was short and his aim progressive. He had not wished for anyone to be wounded, and his wish was granted. Hid did, however, succeed in startling the conversing men. Ivanhoe left the ramparts satisfied by the fact his message landed without err. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

---3 Ivanhoe sat atop Bustokes ramparts loathing the formation threatening his community. Ironically, Ivanhoe was more troubled by his sword. He knew it did not possess the power to bless the wielder. Yet, the only group that owned any tomes concerning the gods were the Anama itself. Ivanhoe cursed beneath his breath. -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..." Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Chapter 3 -1 The compact earth beneath their feet groaned beneath the feet of the multitude above it. Upon sight of the marching legion of troops several watchmen had signaled the alarm. The near thousand citizens of Bustoke were all gathered in the courtyard, organized into cliques. Numerous conversations echoed between stone walls, an event which ceased when Ivanhoe stepped upon a hastily made platform. Ivanhoe usually expressed courage and brawn, but now he appeared humbled by the current events. He spoke with importance, "Citizens, I now can assure you that the approaching hypocrites are that of the Anama. They have requested my presence and I shall comply. I warn you, do not leave the castle." With that Ivanhoe parted the people before him and proceeded to his armory. The remaining individuals chattered in bewilderment. --2 The watchmen placed at the gatehouse saluted with frank admiration as Ivanhoe marched passed it's domain. The murder holes and slits watched judiciously and the stone pavement witnessed his passing in silence. As Ivanhoe stepped past the walls of his castle the breeze and birdsong ceased. The god Ephesos had commanded nature to sleep for the moment, a rare event indeed. The abundant trees towered above Ivanhoe lay still as he march. Several hundred feet ahead was the Anama formation. The sky above them blazed as the sunset upon them, but neither side payed notice. Ivanhoe was in speaking distance now. Before the leader of the group could intervene, Ivanhoe spoke "I bear the news that you are foolish to enter my realms. There is nothing you hypocrites could want of me, and the fact that you claim the border of insanity sickens me. I will not comply with your demands. There is nothing I can possibly want of you, and I suggest that you leave." Ivanhoe managed to conceal the lie in the last statement, but now he revealed his glory. Ivanhoe unsheathed the Excalibur. The air around him became illuminated by its luminescence and many of the Anama's rank trembled with fear. Ivanhoe reached for the heavens and great power was invoked with him. With that he hastened toward the gates as the experienced of the Anama shouted their plea. Ivanhoe entered the gates and demanded it be shut. He knew what lay ahead of him: siege.

1. I would assume that the games were released in the same year they were copyrighted, and somewhere in the folder is the copyright date. -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..." Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Actually, I planned that the tome can only be accessed within a dungeon, but come to think of it, this idea requires way too much scripting. -------------------- "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Excalibur, dear Excalibur..." Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. You had some innacuracies and the rocking horse people are reeling. My day was alright. I forgot to complete an assignment for my honors English class and biology today was truly boring. However, the one class that always brightens my day is men's choir. We work together well, have lots of fun, and still put together a kick-but performance. quote:Funny, because that almost serves the purpose of an abbreviation. Lennon insisted the song was based on a picture his son drew.

The whole irony about Stillness arguing about the benefits of marriage is a certain passage from 1 Corinthians. It basically says that it's better not to marry and it provides reasons why. So there goes his argument on that subject. -------------------- A Bile Crux Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |
