Justin Silverblade Page Posts: 104 (5/1/02 10:11:02 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey gang. Just wanted to drop a quick post to let you guys (and mainly Balladore, 'cause I told him I would) know that I am going to post soon... I just, well... I'm getting around to it. Didn't want you to think I wasn't around.

What if we worked in that King Millas is actually hiring the goblins to raid people to discourage 'unwanted visitors'? Just an idea I had, don't know if it would be appropriate for the situation. -=================- Zephryin Knight of The Constellation Initiate of the Pen -=================- "Draw thy sword, that, if my speech offend a noble heart, thy arm may do thee justice: here is mine."

I have a plan! Eureka! The druid dances around for a moment, before running out the door to his room where he writes furiously for a few minutes. Though I admit, Ozymandias, I had expected it to be you transformed into the frog, not some drone. :-)

Ozymandias the Elder The Founder Posts: 624 (4/29/02 7:00:55 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know remember why I was, but I look at the above post now and find it annoyingly vague. In an effort to give you *helpful* info; Oz has followed you, and caught up after you had rested after the attack from the carnivorous plant in the forest. He has been leaving imps along the path he took (three-inch tall, goblinlike summonable creatures who have wings and are rather strong for their size to tell any help that follows from the Pen (they could all see through the pigeon's eyes, due to the retrieval spell Ozymandias made it with, so they will recognize Zeph) which ways to go. Oz has remained quiet and invisible for (possibly) just such an occasion as the king's challenge. The ace up the sleeve theory.

Ozymandias the Elder The Founder Posts: 567 (4/8/02 9:12:12 am) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oz is following to keep you out of trouble. To wit, he thought a little silent aid could be *very* advantageous in your situation.

Balladore Quill-Bearer Posts: 76 (4/5/02 6:38:49 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I knew you were around, Justin, I just figured you were busy... not everyone can be pen geeks like me, you know? Oh well, though. I'll just wait, I suppose *sigh* Just kidding, people, lighten up!

Justin Silverblade Page Posts: 72 (4/5/02 4:46:52 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll be posting soon, just got to find the time. Rest assured, though, I'm around.

Balladore Quill-Bearer Posts: 75 (4/4/02 11:37:52 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mmm... Secretly, Balladore thinks that he needs filling in on this situation... he couldn't tell from Ozymandias' post earlier that he was with the group... do we know he's there? Is he following us just to keep a tab on us? I don't know!! Er... yeah, Ozy! I need Foe Calibur, Bhurin, and Damienn (If you can find him... he doesn't ever seem to be on IRC).

Ozymandias the Elder The Founder Posts: 564 (4/4/02 5:52:25 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, Oz is there. (man, third person is weird) And I'll annoy anyone you'd like until they rejoin, O Fearless Leader! Just say the word. }:>)

Balladore Quill-Bearer Posts: 74 (4/3/02 11:51:14 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mmm... well, I can do that... but I need to know everyone's views, if that's how it's to go. I have Jheric, I need Foe, Bhurin, Damienn, Justin, I think... unless Ozymandias is with the group right now, but I don't think so... Edited by: Balladore at: 4/3/02 11:51:51 pm

Gyrfalcon25 Bard Posts: 325 (4/3/02 10:59:20 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Currently, it looks like you would be writing the next section, since most people can't contribute much more then "Balladore points at Jheric "Your vote?" he asks. Jheric considered this, and felt the first bubbling of excitement... a chance to use his magic for a purpose... and *anything* is better then going through that gods-cursed forest again..." "Fight." He said, voice quavering only a little in excitement and a little fear." Coincidentally, that's Jheric's view, and feel free to use it.

Balladore Quill-Bearer Posts: 73 (4/3/02 9:40:47 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you wish, m'lord Ozymandias... now if we can just galvanize the original players into action... Wonders if this will get off the ground again...

Ozymandias the Elder The Founder Posts: 552 (4/1/02 6:55:40 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll enter as Ozymandias, my normal persona, who admittedly, is a great deal me, but with one part Rameses II and depressed ex-necromancer thrown in (though only for stories or fun post flavor). His origins begin in ancient Egypt, somewhat. He is Rameses II except that A) He won his battles and shored up his power through reckless necromancy and Ticked off Anubis, who chased him down to do only-he-knows what until Mr. Satan (of Archmage pantheon fame) save dhim with an open portal to Terra (he saw a good pawn and took him essentially), where he found the mage wars. He went at the mage wars until he was beaten nearly into oblivion, saw himself as worhtless, and started to drink to forget. Finally, decades later, he began to make true friends, and they helped turn him around. For the most part. He is still very angry at himself and somewhat hotheaded as a result of all this, but usually very calm and collected. Also as a direct result of his alcoholism and subsequent recovery, he is fiercely loyal to all his friends, has a very wry sense of humor, and has become a great master of Illusion magic. He also has a (healthy) taste for good brandy and can wield a sword to some good effect. Oddest quirk: No one has seen him change clothes, ever except for the fallen angel costume he donned for filming Gyrfalcon: The Movie. He is always wearing the same (or identical, no-one has ever delved that far) blue robe and cow leather sandals as well as his sword. He has a very basic view of morality (not quite black and white, but definite 'lawful' leanings out of a 'chaotic' view- he views evil as easily being used for good: well-placed lies, well-placed kills, etc.) Oz is at his least cautious when his home or his friends are threatened. And unless you want more specifics, I'll just leave it at he's been tagging along this entire time, and will 'pop up' when he feels the need great. This will be fun.

Wyvern owes me some money, I'll just have him pay you, okay? Great! Oz rushes off to write his first piece. Edited by: Ozymandias the Elder at: 4/1/02 6:57:03 pm

Justin Silverblade Page Posts: 68 (3/31/02 9:12:45 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, With the small application fee, The shouting fee, That hostile demanding fee, Although you do have the Ozy factor reduction.... I suppose we could squeeze ya in for $19.52 a month. The alternative of getting it going on it's own though... that'll really cost ya. ~Seriously it'd be great to have you. I'll have to re-read and get up to par with the thing.~

Balladore Quill-Bearer Posts: 69 (3/31/02 8:31:10 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh my... I had thought that it was over and done with because of my absence... and then nobody posted for a while after I came back, so I figured... well... I don't know, you may certainly join, Ozymandias, if you can find a way to work it into the story where we are at... if it's alright with the rest of the players, of course... They are the ones you should ask, not me... Waits to see the players' reactions

Ozymandias the Elder The Founder Posts: 534 (3/30/02 11:43:32 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS THREAD IS NOT DEAD YET!!! Such an absolutely AMAZING piece has NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER TO DIE!!! May I join? If not, what's the price for keeping you lot going??? I'll pay!!!!!

Balladore Page Posts: 40 (1/12/02 2:59:59 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goodness! I hadn't known this thread was still functioning, and therefore apologize for not replying for so long. All of you, stop apologizing. It's exactly what I wanted. And Foe, I'm glad you jumped in. Once again, I'm sorry for not replying in due time. This is going to be fun! -Balladore

Foe Calibur Page Posts: 45 (1/11/02 6:01:18 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I, like Bhurin, appologize for jumping in. I couldn't help but join after reading the beginning. And more important still, I appologize for dictating a portion of your story in joining.

Bhurin Initiate Posts: 24 (1/9/02 6:26:54 pm) Reply Re: Revenge is a dish that is best served Cold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balladore. I hope you didn't mind me jumping in on the stpry there without notice, but I thought as long as the opportunity was presenting itself I might as well jump on it. On a side note, I've never done one of these threads before, so bear with me please. For the only players (Damienn, Gyrfalcon, and Justin) there isn't a lot of difficulty to writing for Bhurin. He's normally confident but very calm. He has the voice of a diplomat (almost soothing). On the battle field he uses a massive blade (two handed) and normally uses his appearance to off set his opponents (which, on a side note, I should mention that Bhurin is not an angel, nor does he have divine origins. He is just part of a mortal [though long lived] race of people with wings.) Bhurin also knows some magic, though by no means powerful or extremely effective. Finally, I just wanted to ask if Damienn would flesh out his character somewhat (more along the lines of his class or mannerisms. I don't want to write him ineffectively ) Righty then, let's have some fun... Signed-

Justin Silverblade Initiate Posts: 18 (1/9/02 5:12:46 pm) Reply Re: Yippeeeeeee! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balladore! It's a great story, I'm lovin' it! Anyway's. If I may, I'm going to play Silverblade. He's supposed to be a semi-funny character who hasn't 'anything special' about him. He's just an adventurous fighter who gets by solely on his luck of the fates and his passion (though not always skill ) with his short sword. When in doubt for his char. desc. just think of him as a 'wanna-be' knight. I'll try and write details about him into my posts, but if you have questions, just ask. A good job. I'm pumped.

Signe Green Page Posts: 27 (1/6/02 12:23:01 am) Reply Re: Yippeeeeeee! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would like to at least donate a characterif you need one, though I can't seem to live up to the writing commitments I have already.

Balladore Page Posts: 27 (1/5/02 10:41:11 pm) Reply Yippeeeeeee! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somebody joined! If anyone else wants to, I'm going to leave it open until wednesday... I think I should get a party of at least three, so if no one else wants to, I'll conjure someone up... but roleplaying with only 2 people is definately no fun!
