Ok. Here goes my character Profile. I copy and pasted the template from Shanda's post in the story thread.
Name: Aeralin Sunrunner
Race: High Elf*
Age- Self-explanatory. 22
Class- Hunter*
Appearance- A short (for an Elf) skinny, young (for an Elf) female. She has Blonde hair done back in a pony tail which goes down to about her middle back, yet she leaves her bangs to cover her forehead. She has extremly bright blue eyes.
Equipment- She wears a turquoise (SP?) cape that goes down to about her waist, a leather headband, on her chest area she wears some chain mail that covers her upper torso, leaving her stomach area and arms bare (shuddup). She wears white fluffy pants with brown shoes and some solid mithral (SP?) shin-guards. She also wears a navy blue quiver on her back. In terms of weapons, she has a sword with a blue glow to the blade, and a short bow.
Backstory- After Quel'Thalas fell to the Scourge, she was one of the few High Elves who fled the destroyed land south to the near completed city of Stormwind. However after living in the city for only a couple of weeks, her parents were killed in an attack by wayward orcs on the city. Her brother, convinced to the end the Humans still had the weakness when Silvermoon pulled out of the Alliance, left Stormwind and returned the Quel'Thalas and joined the Blood Elves in rebuilding Quel'Thalas. When she heard news that Quel'Thalas had been rebuilt, and Silvermoon had joined the Horde, she hated her brother to no end and vowed to end his life and left Stormwind and became a Hunter of the wild and soon tamed a she-bear and called her Fluffles. The two have become excellent friends.

to the main topic: There are 2 ways, both can be taken simultanously: either we go on together on a common quest, or we take the path of everyones' personal quests: that works somehow like the Baldur's Gate storylines&quests (if you have played it, you know immediately): there could be 1 or 2 main line (the common quests), and besides several personal quests as secondary.

My idea was (just for a start-up), to go after eachother's business (help eachother), and just as we are about to set sail to the other continent, we stumble upon a large-scale elemental invasion, and 'of course' our ship runs aground, so we have to discover several forgotten lands, and even the sea, before reaching safety: The rest of the storyline is still largely undecided; though I hoped to team my char up with Arcantis, the Nerubian, and set sail in direction of Undermine, to seek a Goblin ship owner, who could take us to Northrend, where epic storylines would unfold... (and at least my char's quest would continue...just being egoist a bit this time, please, excuse me...)

to Aeralin: The char is fully OK: I would be surprised the most, if Blood Elves would not have the Hunter class: after all, they had heaps of archers in WC3:TFT, using almost the same model, as Night Elves, but with blonde hair (it was kind of funny to hear them saying: "I am a night ranger", but thats due to sloppy programming work, not the concept.

We will write you "into" the story, but you can also begin it yourself, if you add an introduction page (just about how you entered the "meeting inn", since we haven't departed yet...

//Just a personal note: My char is happy to see a real High Elf, just read the biographies, and you will immediately know how to connect you char's stories with others'!!!

of course your welcome YAWP.
gonna go back to see whats been happening since yesterday,
but Arinnaya wel let the story unfold and then we can see what will happen, or do we have some kind of time limit on this :)

Arinnaya

01-12-2005, 03:35 PM

Well a little direction in all this would set the pace along quite clearly. At the moment all the focus seems to be somewhat directed at the book. My Elf isn't going to be too bothered though, regardless of what it is or its power.

Actually, my char has another book, that hasn't even been deciphered yet!!! If you know anyone who knows a way to speak Nazjatari, it would be welcome! (a scolar, a mage, or both, of epic proportions) For those, interesting at its contents, I can tell, it has many, like ancient history, and magics (especially curses): but all this knowledge will have its use one time...
Another 'personal' questline would be to seek out a Great Dragonwing, favourably Malygos, to learn about some magical secrets: the long route itself will also give good chances of quests... I have also noticed that your char has an 'epic' sword, that has certainly seen better days: perhaps there is a way to enchant it (I know a way!!), to make it fully powerful!!

Another note: you can easily find a way to import some NPCs of your own into the story: relatives, friends, etc: they all make a great difference: perhaps many has interesting stories, some minor quests as well, and we can also learn a bit more about your background!!! There is also a way to import dead ones into the story, by ghosts, resurractable ones, or even survivors thought to be dead! Just be creative!! I have already vague concepts about some 5-6 NPCs known by my char (brother, sister, and family friends). If you are interested, I can feature them sometime later...

she has good good ideas, anyway i think we are on a quite good path of getting the group togheter, the gnome will probably tumble in one way or anther:)

i do belive having a main qus and several side quests would be best option.
after we finished our conversation the guy will come in, badly wounded by ... (anyone have preferred first enemy? ) :)

Looks like the threads are speeding up: I haven't seen such strolling since I have joined the forums!!!

I bet, in the future, theer is a strong possibility, that not everyone can be present 7 days a week, so we have to devise a method, to keep them getting along... In case when someone cannot be present on the threads, I suggest to feel free to take him/her as NPC for that duration, and continue the story (if not bringing in any new elements): feel free to add short conversations, etc...

I am searching for new avatar images in the meantime.... One can never be satisfied with the current one...

OK, just post a complete character sheet (all known classes from Warcraft are allowed, and so are races: All Horde+Alliance+ you find a list of some possible neutral choices in the RP thread)
Think of some good personal notice, customise your items, your look, and also give us some notes on your storyline, and motivations (personal questlines are supported!!)

Then give us a short 'introduction' : we are currently just grouping (your luck!) in a tavern near Hillsbrad, during a rainy night.

Grysham and I have already placed a small allowance of control over each others charas in the even something like this should happen. As the story unfolds together I imagine there would be many more who's capable writing pens could be trusted.

Notes on Enalia's appearence at the inn:
So, we are getting filled up with Quel'Dorei, hmm?? Anyway, won't be a problem, but please, prettyplease we need a charsheet first, posted to this thread

If you want a Spellbreaker, let it be, but be warned of the following:
'Spell Breaker' is a prestige class ("Hero Class"), that most likely (in my opinion, at least) belongs to the warrior base class. So you not only need the base story of your character, but also your character needs to be a veteran one , having achieved the rank Warrior/Spell Breaker. I am not overjoyed about seeing an 'elite' char immediately at start, but be it, if you still insist!!

Important warning: Please, before getting involved in the story, post a complete character sheet, to avoid getting things screwed up!! To get an example, take a look at Shanda's page (or anyone else's), opening the RP thread!!

//note of personal upset: Though my char likes all elves, it would quickly ruin all, if the appearence of the blood elves would too quickly unfold the story: just look at Arinnaya's charsheet, if you wish to learn why!!

Name: Enalia Naëndel
race: Blood Elf
Class: Spellbreaker
Appearance: light red skin with sparkling green eyes, firm figure, nice breasts and a blonde ponytail as hair
Turn ons: a good party, laughs, blood and power
Turn offs: men who think they're funny but really aren't
Alliance: Chaotic neutral

Background story:
Enalia started as a little girl in the town called dolanaar. she played through her youth and started taking maaters in to her own hands. She wanted to get a meaning in the world. She started to hunger for a little more power and stole her fathers sword in his sleep. Not knowing where to begin, she started her training by herself, She practiced day and night, participated in the tounaments that were held and gained a name for herself. Soon after that, she left this city to see the world. As she traveled, she gained a greater urge for might. On a certain moment, this urge became to much and she started slaying those who crossed her path. These were the times she tasted the blood of her so-called enemies. Having tasted this power of destruction. Years passed while she gained a name and reputation as a mercenary. The Red One was the name the night elves gave her. As she worked her way to the black wastelands of the largest vulcano and taking "cutting your way through" seriously, she reached a certain levelbarrier. She went back in her own footsteps and asked herself in a screaming tone:"Is this the best I can do?"
At the time she screamed, an old man came by. He said that she didn't reach the limit yet. "what do you mean, young man?" She asked. The man replied: "there are powers that surpass yours. search within yourself and unleach that power. than you can say that you reached the ultimate level."
"How can I contact this power?". "I think you allready did, my fair lady. the mages from the village up ahead are planning to destroy my hometown. what do you say, miss ...?". "Enalia is the name, Enalia Naëndel, and i will be happy to be of some service."

They went their way and stopped at the city of wizards. Enalia could smell their presence from afar and couldn't restrain herself. She charged the first wizard she layed eyes on, slayed him and was reborn by the power she felt when she slayed the young mage. More came rushing to the rescue of the dead mage. they started to throw spells at her, hitting her and wounding her. This got her so mad that she pumped up her voice and yelled so loud that even the most powerfull spells just stopped and flew back to the caster itself, wounding him critically. Now she knew what her potential was. The whole village was slain and she was proud of it to. The old man thanked her, gave her a great reward and vanished in the blink of an eye. She was standing alone between the fallen city and the slain corpses of all the mages. She was happy and sad at the same time. She knew here power and what she could become, but where would she be going now? What was her destination? After roaming the city for treasure, she found a plate mail, made from the purest mithril and laid in with a bright green alloy. Also a sword was to be found in the rubble, the sword was pure white and hard, but quite light. Searching for some more magnificent items, she found a shield, the shield itself was oddshaped, it had a form that is undescribable for words and it has an feint orange glow.
She left the armory (or what was left of it) and went on in order to find a new meaning in life. she lived through the reassembly of the realm and started to explore new worlds. years and years later, she arrived in Hillsbrad, deadtired and thursty like hell.

the story continues...

Arinnaya

01-12-2005, 08:12 PM

To Enalia: Don't take it as constant picking on you, but there are some things I don't understand in the story:
(1) It's strange that your char is a Vampire .... After all, the term Blood Elf only refers to the honour of the fallen ones, and there's nothing of vamiprism.. maybe you have played too much SIMS2 Nightlife, with turn-ons and offs... Actually, even the Blood Mage (prestige class for Blood Elven Mage) says in the Warcraft game: "The blood of my people call out for Vengeance!!", and "The blood of my fallen people can onbly be repaid with blood!!!; two times, or even three times of blood, maybe a hell full of blood, and if it was raining blood..."
So plese, no vampirism , unless you are a Nethralezim/Dreadlord (that are known to have vampiric abilities, and they are also evil enough to do it...)
(2) Dollonar ?=Dolanaar, Teldrassil???
(3) The Badlands is in Khaz Modan: therefore there are no centaurs around, that are exclusive to Kalimdor... Perhaps you though about the
Barrens?

I hate to say that, as I am not the DungeonMaster here (it's Shanda!!), you have to correct these errors before we can let you enter... Sorry!!

TO EVERYONE ELSE:
I would find it a good idea, just to make some things clear, to assign an alignment to your char, like in D&D (Good/Neutral/Evil and Lawful/True/Chaotic) Just to start with mine, I hereby state, that Arinnaya is of the Chaotic Good alignment (this alignment thingy isn't featured in WOW, only the WOW RPG books, that are based upon the D&D system)

01-12-2005, 08:52 PM

Ok, sorry for "taking your seat", Shanda!!

I just got angered by seeing that someone mixes up TheSIMS2 with a fantasy- RPG... Maybe its just me, but there were serious inconsistencies in the before post: Thanks Electro, he has corrected most of them instantly!!! Yet I still feel that the descriptoion you gave was not of a Spell Breaker, but rather a Blood Mage (Spell Breakers are warriors trained to defeat mages, like D&D Magekillers) Blood Mages are extremely powerhungry Elven Mages, who even gave up their Water and Arcane spells, to focus only on the Fire school. They also have a nice collection of abilities in WC3exp., like Firestrike, Banish (now warlock in WOW), Drain Mana, and Summon Phoenix.

Strange, that a Blood Elf was born in a pure Night Elven Village, which did not even exist when the group of the Blood Elves were formed (Teldrassil is only a few years old... its a pity to Blizz designers).. If you insist, find a way, why your family settled down there, knowing that the relationship between Night Elves and High Elves was alread worse than just "strained" at the moment of Teldrassil's birth... And Night Elves hate Blood elves even more... There are only 3 examples of Blood elves seen on Kalimdor in WOW, and of course, all came on ship from Eastern Kingdoms....

ok sorry
let me start over

name: Enalia Naëndel
race: Night elf
class: Hunter
Looks: feint purple skin, dark blue hair, silvery eyes, put in an armour of green mail, 2 axes on the side ready for combat, and a composite longbow and quiver on the back
Allignment: neutral good

history:
Enalia lived in Teldrassil for only a short time (in elvish years). in human years she was 23 when she left the home-region in search for new adventures. Now she travels together with her pet spider Actaron to see the world.
On her trips, she discovered a sacred place where spider were praised. Actaron was loyal to her and stayed by her side instead of rushed into a group of fellow 8-legged beasts. the spiders were eating something that ressembled a dwarf of some kind. Actaron was brave enough to lure the other spiders away so Enalia could see what the spiders were eating. her guess was right, it was a dwarf. now he was dead so his gear doesn't have any value for him. Enalia took it eand so got 2 axes and a nice new composite longbow. as she left, she whistled and Actaron came rushing by in a few seconds. the group of spiders didn't care for Enalia or Actaron anymore and focussed on the dwarf again. As they travelled onwards and onwards, they encountered a blacksmith in the total wilderness. He sold some of the finest armors in the entire world as we know it. she bought a beautiful green armor and a pair of matching boots. they went on there way again, in teh direction of Hillsbrad, because there was something, something ment to happen there. and they arrived at the inn.

As for the music, I like Goa, Trance, Techno, and related.. But well, old romans said "Varietas Delactat", so I like many others as well.

Hobbies... I have many, even different things: I may look like a "mad scientist", for having interests in Mathematics, Nature sciences, and even languages.

An important storyline question:
Should we let the mage, Arcantis' helper die (from an unknown, uncurable curse), or rather resurrect him finally??? It is only the matter of what quest are we going to undertake, if we go after his attackers... Please, shed some light on the available questlines of yours, as I did it about mine!

Should we add notes about language proficiencies? It will ad a certain fun factor, if we see eachother speaking with accents, and foreign languages...

Arinnnaya tried to lift the corpse, but she couln't even lift his leg "this is not a weak woman's job"- she tought, and just yelled inside: "That man's wounded, we need someone to help him bring inside!"
As she called for help, two humans, the rather strongly-built and stocky barmaid, and another man,. the waiter came outside, lifted the corpse with her help, and brought it inside. To avoid turmoil, they put him into a storage-room on the basement. Then just walked back to the bar, when the owner of the tavern came down from the steps, asking for explanation for the previous shoutings.

In the insde, yet unnoticed, a young, but battered Night Elven male was sleeping by a table, with a Gnome beside him, and joining the good snooze...
There was another Elf, sitting by on a stool by the bar, eating something.. Arinnaya wondered if the kitchen's cooks didn't complain for making fresh food: "I bet its all cold out by now. She must be very hungry..."

Erm, I'm not sure if you read my own and Fayeborns posts arinnaya, but my night elf wasn't asleep, and the Gnome is listening to the conversation between the mage and the Nerubian OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. Also, I was planning on having my own character leave the tavern with the Gnome and heading off on our own direction, crossing yours later on.

I'm glad to see a Roleplay moving along, but you could wait for myself and Fayeborn to write as well? I only checked the forum yesturday and already its 3 pages further along than when I started...

Sorry for speeding the story up. I think there were 4 of us online yesterday: But I really think that we cannot be online in the same moment, since some of us appear to be American (that means, due to the time shift, that there will be 'nightly active' members, and 'daily active' ones... Maybe we should form 2 division of the group, depending upon this feature? Perhaps, some of the group could venture at day, while others guard at night... Well, maybe a lame idea..

As for you mentioned sleeping: well, I just thought the story is going on, and you are not present, so its the best expalanation for not interacting: if you dont like it, accept my apology!

On the Book-Accident: I have a strong feeling, that Tallian has mistaken the chapters, because of being tired and distructed, and almost banished himself!!! (you know the Blood Mage spell 'banish', that is given nowadays to warlocks?) Maybe, it would give a good explanation (atleast to me)

About quests: my only quest is to find a way to hatch my sibling and maybe find more survivors of Azjol-Nerub

In fact, I have made out some nice ideas for your quest (only if you would accept):
You may only get help from the most skilled scholars in the world: I though about connecting my questline with yours, and visiting the Great Dragonwing: Malygos' lair, who is the lord of all magics in Azeroth.

Even by consulting with the greatest of powers, they cannot help you directly:
They will just tell you, that you must follow the ancient tradition of Nerub in those cases: You must find the shattered Altar of Kings in the Upper Kingdom (prepare for a dangerous route): there you have to perform a dark, ancient ritual to summon the spirit of one uncorrupted king of Azjol'Nerub: only he can break the spell, and make the youngster hatch instantly!

Aeralin's personality:
She is a rather quiet person, but is good of hearing. She doesn't mind humans (Friendly on the Rep bar), she is skeptical about Night Elves (1/4 Filled Neutral on the Rep bar), and doesn't like Blood Elves (1/2 Filled Unfriendly on the Rep bar). She is scared to hell at Giant Spiders (1 rep point on Unfriendly if it they talk).
She has a gold chained necklace which just the chain is visible but attached to it is a small Mithril hoop with a bright Sapphire set in it. Imbued in this little gem is some Ice power, this affects a few of her attacks (which will become noticable when it comes down to fighting).

It's a pity, that Grysham has left us!! He was the best storyteller by far, I have ever seen on these forums!!! I have read his campaign setting, and, well, it is by far more rational beginning, than this. I can only hope, that onetime, we will meet him again as a friend!!!

As for the posts, it would be realy great, as he said, that we should not interrupt conversations unprecedented, and always keep an eye out, of what others have written in the time past (be it even 2-3 pages, it is still worth to read!!!)

After reading, I realize a few *flaws*, we have to be aware later:
->allow more complex characters, than just the standard "mage, priest, hunter, etc This was suggested by Grysham.
-> not all races are welcome everywhere: for example: a human might have serious problems in Tirisfal, and a Nerubian is distrusted in almost every city (might need to conceal himself) This must be built into the story.
-> allow the story unfold itself, rather than my strict 'Quests Suggested' Idea:
this will allow much more natural reactions (again, also suggested by Grysham)

It is my fault, either, that we have not paid enough attention to his posts:
Well, it was a great reading, and a really nice language, like classic literature: But I fear, many of us don't have English as our native language: thus "if something is nice, it will be also damn hard to understand"

Grysham

03-12-2005, 01:27 PM

Um... I havn't actually LEFT the other RP. Only started a new one, sorry if it seemed otherwise. The only reason I made a new thread was that there seemed a large amount of confusion in who had written what and where.

Example, Fayeborns character was outside the window, yet was stated as being inside by other characters, then asleep by another. Similarly, my character greeted YAWP and it seemed to be missed almost entirely, perhaps my own fault for not being clear enough...

Regardless, I'm still wanting to continue this RP. Sorry if I seem to write alot, but I read and write for pleasure quite alot.

Ah, and as a suggestion, as English isn't your native language perhaps you could use a translator found online to convert text to your own native language? That way rather only mildly understanding the posts, you would have a complete understanding of whats going on. Your english is very good for a second language though, learning to WRITE in another language is much harder than simply speaking it.

Some notes on the world and distances:

Hillsbrad is actually quite not the same as Southsore: the distances are by far greater in the 'real' Azeroth, than they are at WOW: so you would have to calculate, that Hillsbrad (the old town from Warcraft 2) is atleast half-day walk on the road from Southshore. For example, to reach Stromguarde from here, it would take more than 2 days on foot! So the distances are somewhat 'more realistic', than in WOW. Also, feel free to add smalller scenes and places, that are completely absent from WOW: so use it only as a base map!!!

To find Hillsbrad in WOW, just seek out the 'Hillsbrad Fields' on the area: Hillsbrad Foothills!! It is such a small town, that it does not even have questgiver NPCs, consisting of barely more than just a few farmhouses, yet still exists!!!

So, if we would be on our way to Tirisfal, it would certainly take more than 3 days. If we were set out for Menethil, that would mean a week of travel by foot!!! Keep this in mind when determining distances/destinations!

Clerification please:
Is the worg we had just recently been fighting Grysham's character's pet?

Arinnaya

04-12-2005, 07:40 PM

Now I see, there is a serious, and regular misunderstanding of the map and scenes among our group:
I have stated with my char (with soem others), that we are inside of the inn: It contains quite a few tables, some barstools, a bar, with a kitchen attached on the first storey. Then on the second, there are the sleeping-rooms, and the personal room of the owner!!
The cellars are on the -1th storey (steps down):there was the corpse of the dead man placed.

The featuring of the innkeeper was agreat idea indeed, though we may have had problems with the names ( I think Arinnaya already called him Modi )

I would also have put my bet on the fact, that the fight-events occured INSIDE the inn: only Feanaro was staying outside, though still under the roof, for it was terribly raining, the sky almost roaring all night, with a few lightenings flashing the sky... I thought that Oscald was beside the wall, just inside (correct me, if it isn't right, but I thought noone would store flour-sacs outside). This isn't an open, 'mediterranian' type of inn, but rather the 'western' type (I hope you know, what I mean): so there are NO tables outside, and it offers barely more than a roof over your head... But inside!!! it is a small world on ist own!

And, of course, it would add to the feeling, if there were no glasses in the windows: in a 'medieval-type' RPG, it would be hard to produce, even by mages!!!

Also, feel free to stress, that the Night-elves Do NOT need to sleep at all at night, but instead, might get drowsy at daylight!!!

<to the post above:> And of course, the Worg was Grythic, loyal (well at least most of the time obedient) companion of Feanaro. (read the thread: World of Azeroth (story Thus Far) (by Your Average WOW Player) for clarification)!

Shanda

04-12-2005, 08:36 PM

had it not stopped raining by the time the worg attacked... I can remember several post naming or marking that the rain stopped at some point.. or els you must ignore Tallians not so rainy post.. and imagine it rained instead etc etc

Grysham

04-12-2005, 08:37 PM

Woah, I can see here that we have some rather massive misunderstandings.

As Arinnaya said, most of you use English as a second language so i can see where problems must be coming up. I'l try to simplyfy my posts in the OOC so people can understand.

Firstly, Grythic is Feanaros Pet Worg. The pet never attacks others without concent. Without Feanaro's say so, the worg will not attack.

The Gnome is OUTSIDE the tavern. If you read his posts you will see that he is standing OUTSIDE the WINDOW of the tavern listening IN to the tavern. Therefore the worg was OUTSIDE.

The worg was hunting the attackers of the injured mage who got killed. Therefore the mage was ALSO outside.

Feanaro the Elf was INSIDE the Inn, eating his meal at his table. He came OUTSIDE when his pet was attacked.

Feanaro has NOT brought the Worg back to him. The link after the Worg was attacked and hurt by your characters has been left weak. More weak by the Gnome that caused the Worg to lose its mind when it was first attacked.

The Worg IS loyal. He was initially FRIGHTENED by the Gnome. It was a plot device myself and Fayeborn were using to get our characters to meet before my pet got attacked... oh well, it worked out anyway.

Glass is an ANCIENT product. Even medievel Europe, the time known as the "Dark Ages" had glass. Glass has been around for well over a thousand years and often features in Medieval settings. Similarly I think you'l find that there ARE glass windows in WoW. I may be wrong, but I'm quite sure there were in the Cathedral in Stormwind at LEAST.

Lastly the Dwarf was named much earlier than when Arinnaya called him Modi. If you look back I believe I named him in page 3 before you returned from your abscense. For continuity sake someone needs to agree to his name.

Roric or Modi people?

Shanda

04-12-2005, 08:42 PM

roric as it sounds cooler :)

but hey mr worg hunter!!!! I think Tallian will die in shock when he finds your pet besides him bleeding and all.. lol how am I to write and answer to this...
"mumbles curses over elves and pets"

Grysham

04-12-2005, 08:59 PM

Well, keep your character acting normal. The Worgs in no condition to do much right now anyway.

To sum up my last post, I'l do that every time here, I'l keep it simple.

Feanaro is now talking with the Dwarf tavernkeeper and the Gnome. They are walking INTO the INN and will sit in the bar area. They will be talking about the strange magic the Gnome was using. The Gnome does not seem to know it was using the magic.

The Worg Grythic has lept away with its wounds. It is now under the same wayward pine as the mage. It will not attack and probably doesn't even notice the human. Feel free to do whatever you like, except kill the poor guy ^^

Arinnaya

04-12-2005, 10:13 PM

OK, I have no difficulty in modifying the story slightly ( It's a pity, I can no longer edit my past posts..) well, if someone's outside, that might get wet, powerfully wet, for it's rainin' like hell (plot concept, also).

As for suggestion: let your characters turn into a sleep, that will calm the scene, and also let us enter the forst 'real-day' of our advenure!!!

On the current vote: I see no problems in giving up my original name-concept: he is actually, quite an unimportant NPC, that will not play any role later.

A new vote: where shell we set out to search for the murderer? Shall we go to Southshore, seeking a human rogue, or towards Tirisfal Glades, suspecting an undead hand at work? Or may we visit Dalaran, in hope, that the servants will grant us entry under the Purple Dome, to gain audiance with an archmage?

electro

I'm gonna assume real quick like that Aeralin was helped up to her room after a few minutes, and then we move onto the part that just happened in which the dead guy is now undead.

Edit: Maybe we can talk to the mods, and they can grant us an extension to the one hour time limit for editing. (Maybe 6 hours or something) so we can make corrections.

As for going somewhere, I'd have to say the most logical place would be to search around Southshore for a day or two (Provided the Tavernkeep isn't so furious that we decided to make him blacklist all of us from the Tavern) and then pick up clues and come back to the question later.

Edit 2: Keep an eye out on your Personal Message boxes. I think we can use those for quick communications.

Arinnaya

04-12-2005, 11:59 PM

Great thing, but it seems that Enalia has already turned him into an undead (which still doesn't mean, that it was Forsaken business-they don't posess WORKING plague yet.) It would rather have been someone's deed, who wished to drive suspicion towards Undead!!

As for your char, well, she has been saved pretty quickly.. I have thought Enalia would tend a bit more over her, than what Arinnaya did. What my char cast over her was an RPG counterpart of the famous 'Renew' spell: well. in this world, I woudl suggest her staying out of trouble until she gets fully healed ( I remember faintly, that I have written: until sunrise).. So find out a good explanation: maybe she called for aid, the barmaid, and the waiter have taken her up in a room... yea, that was good.. also, you write down smaller moments, like how she felt, how the NPCs looked, and acted, etc...

Important note for everyone: wait for other characters (like Arcantis, Tallian, Feanaro, and, most importantly: Oscald !!! we all have to make it up, until the ZOMBIE - event!!

Important note for everyone: wait for other characters (like Arcantis, Tallian, Feanaro, and, most importantly: Oscald !!! we all have to make it up, until the ZOMBIE - event!!

Good idea... I think right now, this is how it stands:
electro (Enalia), and Arinnaya (Arinnaya) are at the point in which we discover the Mage is a Zombie (We'll call this section Zombie).
Grysham (Faenaro), Fayeborn (Oscold), Shanda (Tallian), Me (Aeralin) and shadorender (Arcantis) are all post Worg-Fight. So I think they need to catch up.

Edit: All caught up to the point in which Enalia screamed out "ZOMBIE!". So now, Gryham, Fayeborn, and Shanda need to post to catch up to the point in which Enalia screams "ZOMBIE!".
(To those of us that are to that point, wait untill those who aren't at that point, are at that point before moving on)

Grysham

05-12-2005, 11:41 AM

Yep, thanks for waiting. I'l post up there now and I'l have to write for Fayeborn so hes up to date for the time being. Roric Thunderclap the Dwarf tavern keeper is with Oscald (Fayeborn) and Feanaro (Me) so I'l move him inside as well.

OK, the update on my post is as follows.

Feanaro, Roric (dwarf barkeep) and Oscald all return to the Inn, soaked to the skin.

Once inside they sit down, hoping the Gnome will have answers. It seems he does not, but the talking is stoped before it can start. It is stoped by the scream of "zombie" from the celler.

Feanaro is imedietely up and ready to attack the zombie. He hates undead and demons of all sorts. He will kill the zombie quickly and efficiently unless you would rather he didn't.

You'd have to have a good way of stopping him though, as he'l attack regardless of what anyone says.

Arinnaya

05-12-2005, 02:42 PM

Just an idea: we should gather all players to the Zombie (leave out mine, and those, like Tallian, that have slept outdoors).. THEN confront it... ( how funny would it be to see it blasted to pieces by Oscald, the Gnome!) BUT ask Shadowrender (Arcantis), about HIS plans of the storyline first... (it was HIS friend after all)

Feel free to add more time (several hours) of storyline before the Zombie, for it will happen only slightly before dawnbreak (most went to sleep at 1 o'clock roughly, and it dawns only a bit before 5) Maybe an interplay between Feanaro and Oscald, or Tallian and Grythic could fill this up??? And a note, if you observe the posts carefully, they are trying to press, that the rain will cease a dawn comes, to give place for a beautyful, sunny morning (though a bit cloudy, still) :better for adventuring...

Shanda

05-12-2005, 02:44 PM

I wont take part in the zombie event as im sleeping under a tree with the worg :) i wont be able to either hear or wake up to the sound of anything closer then beside me...

so keep writing and il pop in when daybreak arrives :/

Grysham

05-12-2005, 05:23 PM

I think I'v skipped ahead with Feanaro a little too fast if the zombie thing takes place at dawn. Unfortunatly I cant edit my post now as too much time has passed, quite annoying. I'l ask the Mod if we can have some extra time here if thats possible. Oh well

Simply assume that its dawn... or let this take place during the night. Its your call.

Fayeborn

05-12-2005, 05:30 PM

It's ok. I followed suite. I'm going to assume that more time ellapsed through the evening than it appeared and have followed him into the cellar with Roric.

Oscald is standing to Faenaro's right, Roric at the foot of the stairs and it looks as if battle could well begin shortly.

edit: I suppose I could write in a polymorph but Oscald's not really experienced with much arcane or frost magic. The whelplings never had Poly.

Ahh, I can work a trap with Roric.

Grysham

05-12-2005, 05:47 PM

If the undead guy is just a plane ol' undead guy he wont be hard to handle. Seeing as he's just raised surely he cant be very powerful? It would take emmence magical power to raise a POWERFUL undead surely?

Can it cast spells is another question?

05-12-2005, 06:39 PM

I think we are closer then we where before but still spread out...
I think Fayeborn, Grysham, and maybe electro are at the point of actually engaging the undead.
Shanda's char is asleep outside and won't hear anything. So we'll assume that he's gonna sit till morning comes.
I think I am just after the point in whicht eh Zombie is discovered.
And Arinnya is after the fight and moving into the morning (Slept like a rock that one did).

Should the next "meeting" spot be morning and we all post till we are all in the morning?

Edit: To be a little more specific, about Morning, I think what it should be is, we're all sitting down at breakfast, and we all agree that we all got ourselves in the exact same mess, so we should all help each other get out of the mess.

Arinnaya

05-12-2005, 06:46 PM

The fight will just erupt THIS MOMENT (time for explosives!!) As for a simple, mindless zombie, it won't be a deal ( I think, without powerful spells, he could not have been raised as a lich) AFTER all have done with the fight, feel free to send for Tallian and Arinnaya!!

Grysham

05-12-2005, 06:55 PM

Your Average WoW Player

05-12-2005, 07:00 PM

Um, I think it suddenly becoming morning is a bit too fast. Have the other characters just been staring at the zombie for the last few hours for example?

I think we should deal with the zombie before the morning, otherwise too much time is lost with for no reason.

We are, the Zombie will be gone by the time morning has come. We aren't going to have a several hour staring contest between us and the Zombie. It's just that Arinnaya's (who must sleep like a rock or something) most recent IC post puts her at the Dawn hours, after the Zombie is dead. So she is right now ahead (Post Zombie Battle) while some of us are still at the "Zombie Battle" point.
What I am suggesting is Arinnaya doesn't post until we have all posted stuff to put us in the morning hours.
That way, we are all caught up.

Grysham

05-12-2005, 07:05 PM

Yeah, thats what I ment as well ^^

What I mean about the time change is that no one changes the time until all RPers are ready for it. It just makes it a bit easier to read and understand if everyone is always at the same point in time.

Fayeborn

05-12-2005, 07:12 PM

We aren't going to have a several hour staring contest between us and the Zombie.

Hey! Speak for yourself!! I personally, would love to challenge the zombie to a staring competition! Undead are so fun to play simple games with. Next up; I spy.. he'll take forever to find what you're looking at.

Arinnaya

05-12-2005, 07:14 PM

I bet he became a Scourge undead... But it would be nice, of course having a 'Horde' character by our sides...

What shall we do with him?? Your opinion???

For the time, I will not post, until someone comes up to the room of Arinnaya... it was planned to be so..

Grysham

05-12-2005, 07:43 PM

Well my character wont be interested in much more than its total distruction. Of course the others COULD stop him, but thats your call. What do the others think?

Arinnaya

05-12-2005, 09:09 PM

The fight has already started: so, without answers, it's damn hard to decide elsehow, but to destroy it (anyone has some mind-affecting spell to learn of its motives??)...

A pity, that electro and YAWP are not online...

Update: Posted, dropped a firey explosive and at least 3 people ran.

Arinnaya

06-12-2005, 01:33 PM

As electro has taken over Shadowrender's Arcantis, it's now his turn to decide what to respond upon this unexpected zombie...

I would rather suggest to treat the zombie as a mindless one, instead of him using the mage abilities as normal... Remember Kel'thuzad: He could not have been raised, unless becoming a mindless zombie: only the Waters of Eternety had the power of restoring his mage-like abilities...

CONCLUSION: better forget about the undead blinking around and casting powerful spells...OR: at least pose a limit to it, like: "Though he was an archmage in life, the zombie could only use a tiny portion of his abilities upon becoming a member of the Scourge, easily beated even by an apprentice!!.."

It would clearly make sense for the Scourge agents to try to stop the Nerubian survivors at all costs...: after all, it's Arcantis' problem with his brother, we are after this moment... So I would not be surprised, if the threads of this terrifying deed would quickly lead us northwards...

Grysham

06-12-2005, 01:56 PM

Yep, I'm in total agreement with Arinnya on this one. Good plot device to drive us north too.

By the way, me and Fayeborn could throw in a couple of evil characters if you want some faces to put with the "evil goings on"

Edit: Just read the other posts on the RP. I guess I'l have the Elf finish it off now.

Ok. I'm caught up.

My post wasn't as long as I had wanted it to be because things where already in motion. She came down when Oscold was yelling the Explosive was going to go soon, and dove under a table.

Oh yeah, I revealed something in that post about her...
She's an Engineer. :happy14:

Fayeborn

06-12-2005, 07:07 PM

I did catch on to that engineering!

And in his benefit, he didn't intentionally use the explosive, it just kinda' happened as a side affect of the fire spell he DID use intentionally while holding the dynamite.. :wink2:

Grysham, tie up these loose ends and write the dynamics you wanted in there my friend!

For storyline purposes the dynamite exploded rendering the zombie unable to walk. It's upper 1/2 is still quite alive in case anyone had any ideas about questioning it's motives, etc.

08-12-2005, 12:22 AM

Come on all Roleplayers!! It's time to gather at the site of the terrible explosion (no doubt it will wake up all sleepers in miles..)!!! After that stupid zombie is fully dead, we can plan our first day of adventure!!!

So what's on the investigation?? I bet the Zombie only tells a few uncohesive words until its spirit passing to the Afterworld, so it won't help much...
We have to ask the Tavernkeeper as well - he might have known a few valuable pieces of information...

Of course Dalaran is closed down now, and only the most trusted can enter the construction site, under the violet dome.. but maybe the few outside-residing guards can contribute to our information.

It might be a good idea to travel to Southshore (hours afar at least from the village of Hillsbrad), and question a few folks.. they might have seen the murderer...

We can do, to speed up the investigation of the murder, to split in 2 or 3 groups, and go separately to the scenes mentoned above... Afterwards, we meet at the crumbling tower at the crossroads between Hillsbrad, Southshore, and Tarren Mill...

I have a strong feeling, that the 'man', who comitted this, was actually an undead (or only an agent), but certainly a 'pawn' of the Scourge... Why would one hinder the Nerubian resistance if not one of the Scourge??.... Next part, if the accusations turn out to be true, we should visit the extremely untrustworthy Forsaken in their own stronghold!! (maybe they are among the suspected, but can turn out even as helpful, with much information about Scourge activity in the region)

Who is good at writing crime stories??? A new Agatha Christie is wanted!!!

Grysham

09-12-2005, 01:30 AM

Seems a takeover wasn't entirely required ^^ Oh well.

I'm back and should have more spare time to post with.

As for the storyline, I suggest that the first point of business is to find the attackers. I'd suggest people scout around.

My Elf, Feanaro, is going to be interested by Oscalds powers and with the attackers seemingly magical ability to hide his tracks. He'l want to track it, for the sake of pride if nothing else.

I suggest the agent IS scourge, a good idea to use undead and a reason to head north. The reason? I can suggest some, but I dont want to take over here. Whats everyones view on what direction this story should take?

Arinnaya

09-12-2005, 02:04 AM

Well, the journey to the far north wasn't actually my idea, but Shadowrender's, that I have taken over as well... Seemy like, that Electro also supported that concept (though he wanted a Forsaken hand in the things as well)

Let's spend our first day with investigation: everyone can do it in his/her won way: tracking after a day of thunderstorms might not be easy at all, but if a Wolf got the scent once, he will remember it to the next day: so, if there is ANY dry spot, it can be tested of the scent... Maybe, the dark murderer HAS spent some time in Southshore, so you can check the inns, stables, and abandoned houses!!!

I thought, maybe the arcmage HAD some friends left in Dalaran: so we may either get some answers on his enemies there: but this is Shadowrender's choice (or as Electro has taken over him...)

Fayeborn

09-12-2005, 02:47 AM

Oscald will more than likely take the apologetic route. He was originally brought in as somewhat of a humorous aspect with little forethought. Since then I've actually grown a bit fond of him.

He's going to going to go wherever everyone else decides as right now this is his first "real" experience with a group of dynamic people outside of his former indentured servitude. Everything is still so fresh and new to him, although he has seen some of the nastier things (like that zombie and other forsaken) since his time with the whelps. Azeroth has a short learning curve.

Currently waiting for any of the interested party (who introduced the mage, and reintroduced his unlife) to do what they want with him before I post again. If we absolutely have to we can have Roric bind the zombie up if we need to leave imeediately and come back to it. Provided we come back to it relatively soon. Otherwise I'd like this ordeal concluded, lessons and info gained and some movement to take place.

Arinnaya

09-12-2005, 10:50 AM

**fully agreed on the previous suggestions**

Let's have a meeting of the full group (maybe not inside the inn, as Roric wants us rather dead, than causing more trouble...).

That means Tallian and Grythic needs to be awaken, and they have to come back to the scene... WE should start asking Roric 1st, then sitting down for a short counsel.. After i, I suggest either heading to Southshore, or splitting in two, one to Southshore, and one to Dalaran..

Southshore is further away, than the ruins of the Violet Citadel, but many might have seen the murderer on the day before, while the wizards would be a hard nut to crack...

Frankly, I liked the Gnomish ways of fun Oscald presented to us... But, as you suggested, some group-action won't be so bad, either... the main aim: to better know eachother...

Grysham

09-12-2005, 04:04 PM

10-12-2005, 02:23 PM

A grave question:

How shall we catch that wrethced thief??? We should get the story rid of it, and quick, so we can focus on the murder!!!

to Shanda: If you are nearing the Tavern with the wolf behind (feel free to interact with him), maybe you should heve seen, if there WAS a thief leaving hastily... If you haven't seen anyone, that's an indirect proof, that the thief (who stole the money and the necklayce) is STILL INSIDE THE INN!! Maybe we can make him/her caught rather hastily (I bet Feyeborn or Grysham has an idea, to RP him/her for short moments)...

The plans for the day are simple: Let us gather all, and sit down for holding a council!!! After everyone has arrived, we simply decide the directions in 1-2 posts, THEN we will get going...

Arinnaya

I really hate to say it, but the truth is, every time I try to start a conversation with someone's character, he will not respond for a week...

This time it happened that 'Your Aeverage WOW Player' complained, that no one on earth would interact with his char. To amend the situation, it was me, who started it immediately... The result??? LIkely, I will have to wait for another week to get the response, and before it's done, my character is effectively frozen...

WE would really need to give tokens to eachother, enabling the other, to handle the other character for the time, we cannot participate in the RPG...

To avoid freezing down others, when interacting with you, in the future, you can tell the others, if you aren't going to be present for some days, so your character switches to an NPC for the time being...

well anyone can feel free to act for my character. You just need to remember some small points about Feanaro that from your characters perspective he will seem.

He doesn't show much in the way of expression, he never really smiles or frowns. His voice is always even and soft, no matter what the situation. He never engages in small talk, so nothing about the weather, his past, what hes up to, how hes feeling. He hasn't got the time to bother with pointless conversation, only conversation that matters. So hes to the point, he wont go about a question the long way, he'l just come right out and say it. Just like that.

Hes pretty fast and agile, but can still be hit (as in the undead scene) and his wolf is more like a tank, its strong and tough and doesn't mind being hit too much, but it'l be more defenceive of feanaro than pure attack unless feanaro attacks as well.

Thats it, so if you need to intertact with Feanaro, remember those points to keep him in character. If you need to speak with him do so and feel free to make him respond, just keep in mind he might not respond ANYWAY.

Edit: Oh, bear in mind its christmas season too. Alot of people are bound to be quite busy over the next couple of weeks and christmas.

Gack. SOrry for the inactivity.

I've been having some trouble getting to the forums. I think a lot of us might in the next coming weeks with Christmas and such. So I think we should take another poll:

With Christmas coming up, a lot of us will be busy. Should we:
A. Continue on.
or
B. Put the RP on hold until we can all get back into the swing of things.

Grysham

13-12-2005, 10:35 AM

theres no sense on putting it on hold for the sake of christmas. Just continue on writing for the others who arn't around as best you can. If the forum isn't posted in, it'l just die like so many others.

An important question about some features of WOW:

Should we be able to use some kind of mounts?? I mean, of course, not the ones you use in the game (pocket horse..), but real ones!!! Maybe not at the start, but later?? Also consider them as excellent pack-mules, and carrying mutiple characters... maybe they can even be hireable!!

What's your opinion??

Shanda

19-12-2005, 05:50 PM

yeah why not, if you have a mount, ot finds a mount ot buy one, it wont be a problem, as thats my words they are law here! :xmas4:

but beside my silly jokes i think it wont be a prob, though Tallian wont get a mount, hes an earthbound person really.

Shanda

What is exactly that you expect from others to act??

Should we wait for Feanaro (owned by Grysham) and Oscald (owned by Fayeborn), or start to search for the murderer on our own???
Whatever happens, our first way will be leading to Southshore... It would only change if Tallian would have some Archmage-contact to check out at the Dalaran Ruins first... as you know, its current ruler is Ansiem Runeweaver...

The above is not my creation, it's taken from the 'Lands of Conflict' warcraft RPG book.. if you wish to know, what it writes from Hillsbrad (where we are currently residing), I will write the most interesting lines down here:

"Hillsbrad's people are industrious and proud. They work hard to keep their realm in its current, peaceful state. reporting undead, and other dangers immediately. They do not tolerate crime of any sort, and punishmets are brutal. The locals dress in white, Lordaeron's traditional color. Each year they celebrate Hordefall, the anniversary of the Second War's end. I was not lucky enough to visit Hillsbrad during the holiday, but was told, that it involves singing, drinking, and incinerating small orc dolls. Few Hillsbraders travelled to Kalimdor with Jaina, thinking it dubious , that the mysterious continent could hold anything better than their own land. They are in for sorry surprise when Kel'Thuzad strikes south. My cheer at this land was always tempered by that thought." (told by Brann Bronzebeard)

" The Hillsbrad Foothills offer a land of rolling green hills, and fertile meadows. Rich rainfall creates many arable tracts, and this natural bounty aids Hillsbrad's self-sufficiency. The southern shore is windy but gentle, allowing ships to dock easily at Southshore's harbors. Torn Fin murlocks frequent the shore as well. Mountain lions, creeper striders, and grey bears roam Hillsbrad's pastoral landscape."

I hope it helps to better understand our whole champaign setting... especially the NPCs...

PS: still, keep in mind, that we are residing at Old Hillsbrad (WC2), the place marked as 'Hillsbrad Fields' in WOW, north-west from Southshore...

Living crap..
In my last post the
"All for now... I don't have much time..." reffered to the fact as to why it was so damn short. Sorry for not making that clear enough.

Arinnaya

27-12-2005, 01:36 AM

Don't worry on Arinnaya's reaction:

I hope I haven't srewed all the things up... You will still have time to tell the whole story of Aeralin, and Arinnaya will tell hers... but, of course, the whole line of events will only be made clear, when you adventure enough with them (Arinnaya & Elythriande)... Many plots will not be revealed, until their time comes...

I think I will make some posts to the "Fan Fiction" forum to tell a few tales of my characters... I still believe, these will improve the RP, instead of spoiling it. What do you think?? Shall I keep them for the RPG, thus in secrecy??

electro

04-01-2006, 10:41 AM

do as you please but i think it's best to keep this roleplayforum going

It's no fun if Arinnaya and I are the only posters on the RPG-topics

ehm electro, that last post of yours. I cant really... ehm so first you were in the tavern and had just spotted a persion that held a tied person up high.
then Arinnaya speaks to you.. ehm but shes outside and then you walk over to the stables.. have I gotten it right? but who was that other person inside then inn and hey! I think Tallian wants some kind of thanks :) even if he is a very modest and dont think high about himself .... ya you understand "whistles"

then maybe I can post after you.

Arinnaya

07-01-2006, 08:48 PM

OK, as I promised I made the thread on the Fan Fiction forum, to contain a few additional stories for my characters. If anyone wishes to read, click here:The adventures of Elythriande and Arinnaya (http://forums.worldofwar.net/showthread.php?t=360091)

Another, more important comment: to understand the motives of our group's Nerubian member, I read quite a bit from the literature and lore, and decided to share the contents of one such an article (from official sources):

NERUBIAN
*********

"The large humanoid has the lower body of a giant spider, with a humanoid torso, arms, and head. Its spider legs are long and thin, allowing it to top 10 feet, when it rears up. It wields a simple, though wicked-looking spear."

DESCRIPTION
***********

Once, the vast, subterranian civilization of Azjol-Nerub extended over much of Northrend. Underground terraced pits, and occasional aboveground ziggurats held countless nerubians living, working, and researching. Azjol-Nerub contained huge libraries of literature, music, philosophy, and arcane lore.
Occasionally, the kingdom would kidnap humans, and elves for experimentation, but isolation kept the Nerubians out of most surface affairs. Then Ner'Zhul came to Northrend. The Nerubians soon discovered the Lich King's plans for domination. While the spiderfolk had little concern for the fare of other races, the expansion of the undead empire was a clear threat to its existence. Elite warriors were sent, anda massive battle began. Ultimately, Azjol-Nerub was shattered by the weight of an easily replenished undead army. The libraries burned, and the remaining nerubians fled. The Scourge raised up the spiderfolk's dead, paying a cold homage to the race, through architecture, and borrowing from their arcane arts.

Now, the nerubians exist only as scattered families in northren Kalimdor, and in a few settlements throughout Ashenvale. In their quiet, and passionless manner, nerubians despise the Scourge, and will take any opportunity to do it harm. Though not a warm or pleasant race, they honour agreements, and can work with other races. Some groups, particularly those in the far north, seek to rebuild their civilization. Others simply try to get by.

NERUBIAN SOCIETY
****************

Though cold, distant, and even cruel by the standards of other races, nerubians are not impossible to understand. They are not affectionate, or prone to emotional expression, but they do feel attachment, hatred, and understand honour. Honour is a simple matter, not like the human institution built up with literature, epic poems, and the like. Nerubians do not worship logic; their emotions are simply unfettered by warm-blooded ornamentation.

A nerubian community has one leader, a few advisors, some warriors, and then the body of workers. Different types of nerubians are referred as castes, but without the sense of status, or stigma, that normally comes with them.
Caste is a life-long occupation, and responsibility in the society, organised as meritocracy. Workers, who show atlent in a given area, can join any appropriate caste. Mobility is highest at a young age, however, as diet and training will lock nerubians into a specific caste quickly.

Small groups rely on workers serving as militia, when needed, or doing double-duty. The leader is usually the eldest female, mother of much of the group. Large communities will have the elders elect one of their own, to lead as queen. Groups formed for a specific purpose, such as a warband or aggreagate of decimated families, will choose a leader with proven ability.

Nerubians speak Common and Nerubian. Nerubian is both a spoken, and a sign language.

CHITIN ARMOUR
*************

Nerubians have a special kind of hide armour, formed from their own molted exoskeletons. The discarded chitin is combined with wood, pulp, lacquer, and a variety of alchemical preparations. Chitin armours can be made as analogs for any existing armours.

COMBAT
******

Average nerubians avoid combat, if possible. When pressed into service, or when faced with destruction, however, tehy are disciplined, particularly, if a skilled leader is present. Quick charges, and use of simple weapons, like spears and javelins are their normal tactic. Some nerubians also use longswords, axes, and other martial weapons. They can also deliver a poisonous bite, but prefer the distance that wielding weapons offers.

SPECIAL ATTACKS:
poison
web
SPECIAL:
frozen mind: The minds of nerubians are different from most races, leaving them untouched by powers, that affect the mind. They are also immune to fear effects.
Those who have attempted telepathic comunication with nerubians, describe it as trying to bore through many feet of ice. This same quality makes them immune to Ner'zhul's undeath plague.

CASTES
******

NERUBIAN WARRIOR: These warriors are essentially with fighting experience. They are also equipped with chitin armour, and two masterwork short swords.

NERUBIAN WEBSPINNER: Webspinners practice from young age in creating and shaping webs, raised on a special diet, to encourage quick web production. Many webspinners practice like archers, perfecting the valuable technique of casting over distance, particularly at aereal targets.

NERUBIAN SEER: Seers have a valued place in nerubian society. They act as counselors and mages of the spiderfolk. The scourge destroyed Azjol-Nerub's libraries, leaving the nerubians for whatever few bits and pieces the seers could carry off. They are interested in returning to the ruins, to recover all that they can. Once skilled in architecture, accounting, law and other esoteric disciplines, the demands of life now require most seers to focus on magic, to protect their communities.

NERUBIAN SPIDERLORD: Spiderlords once made up the majority of the leadership of Azjol-Nerub. In the largest communities, they still serve as advisors to the local queen. Small communities are led by spiderlords. These nerubians look somewhat different from their brethren: they have a carapace, and dual set of wings, making their lower bodies almost beetle-like.
They also typically grow to a larger size, and train in some combination of aristocrat, fighter and spellcaster classes. Spiderlords are holders of law, and dominate nerubian society, though the eldest members of the other castes hold considerable sway.

NERUBIAN QUEEN: Queens are the mothers of the cities. Most combine tactical skill with arcane might. Queens may also get quite large. Queens favour aristocrat, healer, or wizard classes.
special ability: Ancestral Memory: Queens have something akin to genetic memory, transferred through arcane memory from mother to daughter.

ehm before i can post.. what happened to the thief?.. I kinda missed that part of the story..

Arinnaya

08-01-2006, 01:31 PM

(reply to Shanda): That poor criminal fellow is being "interrogated" by Roric on his own, but not kind way. I think electro (Enalia) has already referred to him as "being tied up by both hands with a rope". In fact, the order of posts does not cover the story well, because when I realised he became a prisoner (in electro's post), I added the story piece, exactly how it happened. Thus the story order was screwed up. Sorry for that.

Shanda

08-01-2006, 02:22 PM

hmm Il fix that in my post then.

Arinnaya

09-01-2006, 01:53 PM

I think I have speeded up the story a bit too much. The fact is, that many characters, including Arinnaya and Enalia, could have overheard, Roric taling to the thief, having questions about what his connection to the 'undead curse' is. It became apparent, in an instant, that Roric did heard about the strange poison causing the Mage to become Undead, however, he had no further informations about the whereabouts of the true murderer (and let us confess: this pityful thief could not have been the very assasin, he is too faint-heated for it).
So the Priestess will go to Southshore to investigate the case. Maybe someone has seen the hideous murderer last night...

Shanda

09-01-2006, 07:31 PM

ehm in my opinion Roric is the inn keeper not some all knowing detective.. He should not now anything about the curse or whatever.. hes just plain mad about .. you messing his tavern up.
but yes you kinda speeded up very much, but leave Roric hes not important.. and the thief isnt important either.
and btw im not ... where did this curse come from? bah we need people to get back.. its messy just you me and electro writing..

11-01-2006, 01:05 PM

I would like to enter this character in your story if that is alright with you.
I hope this is enough information on him.

Name: Garreth Rhallisias
Race: Human
Age: 25

Apperance:
A tall well built atractive man with short black hair and blue eyes.
Despite his young look you can tell that Garreth has lot of
expirience with life and had his share of battles.

Garreth has two sets of armor one is a cermimonial platemail he uses for offical occasions.
But when he is traveling he wears an armor of black chainmail.
He has a white cloak, doesn't wear a helmet
Ring of justice:
The ring of his paladin order, Garreth wears the ring on his left hand.
two handed Sword Peacebringer:
This sword has eleven runes engraved on it, protecting it from getting damaged or going dull.
Background:
Garreth is orphan.
At the age of eight his parrents got murderd by a local band of thieves calling themselves the Defias brotherhood, his parrents died saving his life by leading the thugs away from the spot they hid him.
Garreth was send to the monastery to be raised by the priests there.
when Garreth was eight years old he was given a choice.
Follow the path of the priest or paladin.
The death of his parrents still fresh in his memory he intialy choose the way of the paladins to have a way to avenge them. But soon he was intrigued by the way of the paladin, the way they saw life and the honor they had.
He studied and trained hard soon excelling in both the devine powers and combat classes. when Garreth was sixteen years old he was an apprentice paladin, and together with his master he was send on his first mission. The defias were becoming a to great treath near Northshrire abey to be ignored and the curch had choosen to send a message to these thugs. Garreth coulnd't wait to bring justice upon this brotherhood of thugs as the old anger of his parents death rose again. The battle lasted not more then fifteen minutes. The bortherhood was erradicated near the abbey. But instead of joy Garreth had a bitter taste in his mouth. He had killed other humans, another living being. That is when his master gave him his last lesson he needed.
Violence is a last resort, only use it when all other options have failed.
On arrival Garreth was accepted in the order of the holy light.
His task was to travel trough the world to help the needy and protect the innocent from evil.

Some information on the Curse of Undeath:

There has been a great confusion about this matter. This is at least partially my guilt, so I only feel it correct if I repair things by clearing its meaning up:

In the story, the 'Curse' was a synonym for 'Plague'. now you know.
As anyone know the Undead have split into several factions since the dowfall of the Legion. Out of the many, only the Scourge have posession over the classical "Plague". The Forsaken have not. As a result, they cannot turn anyone into an undead, by poisoning him - it must be a Scourge agent, or someone who has obtained a secret potion from them.

So, the situation is strange: though all living hate the evil Undead, be it Forsaken or not, still, the previous can offer the most information, and help against the Scourge - this will quickly force our adventurers into a heavy dilemma!

(on the previous query):

I think, exceptionally good. Note, the main problem on this forum is not only the quality of posts (I must admit, I usually make a heap of terrible mistypings), but also, the ability to keep the group together. There are many, who cannot post daily, and to keep them up with the story - now, that requires talents!

(on the course of the storyline): I am Glad, that everyone is finally re-grouping at Southshore. As we start the investigation, the whole group can re-assemble (save perhaps Oscald and Feanaro, but it depends on them as well, if they wish to be present).

Got a couple seconds here... Not really enough to post something in the story thread... I hope to get back to being part of the fam again soon...

To start off, thanks for taking over my char in these tighter times for me. Much obliged. If whom ever is taking it over (I think it's Shanda) wants some more info about Aeralin, fire me a PM and I'll get some stuff to you.

Next thing, so the party is gonna meet up at SS? Sounds good.

Next thing, now I know that Shanda started the whole forum topic so right now she has dibs on the story. The title of the RP is "World of Azeroth" that's pretty damn general. SOOOO I think once we get to the bottom of this story (Shanda's) and all is said and done, then I think what we should do is get another SL rolling, and let someone else do the quest for example, maybe Arrinya can plan out the story and we follow through.

BTW, what servers do you all play on?

Scarlet Crusade (US) here.

Shanda

12-01-2006, 03:58 PM

I think we have a long way to go before we can start something els..
but I have a question.. how on earth did Garreth manage do get past Tallian and Aeralin? they started out before he did and they did follow the road trust me on that one..

but.. hmm maybe I can fix that in my next post.. il think of something

I play on "Burning blade" EU server and "Sunstrider" and "Darksorrow" they are EU to.

ewpk

12-01-2006, 05:01 PM

Well they follwed the road yes but they where also looking for the pet so I asumed they would wander of the road to the village where the wrog is and Garreth must have missed them.
If I Am wrong there I am sorry I must have misinterpetted that
(besides you said to stay clear of him :P because he has been inactive for a while.)

Shanda

12-01-2006, 05:18 PM

oh but I meant Tallian and Aeralin.. didnt you read my last post?.. Feanaro and the gnome are still in Hillsbrad, they havent left yet.
But I fixed it in my post, but make sure to read everyones posts even if they dont concern your character. we have had kinda many cases were that messed things up.

but as I said, no harm done :) we all make and probably will make "misstakes" like that.. I know I have so just! :buddies: :buddies: :buddies:

edit: all and well nork, but you should post your char sheet in this thread, only write "storystuff" in the RP thread.
and btw welcome to WOA I am sure you can find a way to pop into the story.
and again if you still can try to move that char sheet over to this thread, if you can.

and a second edit: Nork have you read anything of the story? or atleast the last posts, the paladin you are looking for have just gotten to southshore with Arinnaya and Enalia..so plz plz plz again read what the others have written and change you post abit.. it startet alright but then I think someone got abit carried away?

electro

Arinnaya

12-01-2006, 11:07 PM

(to the Gnomish warlock):
Good to see a newcomer, especially if it is an evil character: they bring colours to the story, even if Arinnaya the Priestess is pure good-alligned, and will only tolerate the presence of Warlocks at best, but will never accept it... BUT: you should have posted the charsheet HERE, and not into the STORY thread...

so, let us gather the characters' location:
Feanaro and Oscald have left into the wilderness in search of Grythic, the worg. Maybe it was the opposing direction (west), or anywhere else, but we will NOT meet them, as they have left the road, and the borders of the civilized lands...
Enalia, Arinnaya, and Garreth are near Southshore (nearing the town from northwest, but not yet actually there). Tallian and Aeralin is still walking towards Southshore, but at a smaller speed. So they are quite behind the first group (yet, I still mentined them as 'being small dots on the horizont')

Arcantis is lost somewhere... hiding... using the abilities of burrowing underground... This place is not safe for a Nerubian, since most locals are naturally afraid of them, mistaking them for the undead Crypt Fiends...

(to ewpk): I like your story!!! Indeed a great, complex character, what you have created... Garreth may fit exceptionally good, should we start 'real' adventuring...

im abit confused here.. or im not but one thing is bothering me.. are you guys on a boat or not? I guess not but now norks abit weird post suggested that, and ewpk said so in his latest also.. can we agree on no boats? wearent going to menethil.. its in the wrong direction.. plz plz read each others post for all that is holy!

ewpk

13-01-2006, 01:53 PM

Well the warlock said he missed us and that we where on the boat.
So I just responded to that.
I am fine with not being on the boat. But it seems I can't mod my messages in the RP section.

Arinnaya

13-01-2006, 02:57 PM

Nork has confused everyone. It would have been the best to ignore him, until he clears up the contradictions of his story (2 minutes from Hillsbrad to Southshore, like WOW is not an RP-friendly attitude). But the course of storyline was already broken up with the appearence of the demon, so I would suggest everyone continuing from there.

CONCLUSION: time is night, just after sunset Place is the road to Southshore (one group near the town, one group further from it Forget the boat thing, personally I did not intend to go anywhere... and you?? After all, we are investigating a LOCAL crime... Nork should stop a bit, and read others' posts before adding anything incoherent with the story!

Suggestion: After the demon-accident, our group (Enalia, Arinnaya, Garreth) will continue to the town, and start 'looking around a bit', questioning the locals. It is possible, that the warlock accompanies us, but this needs reconsideration... The other group (Talian and Aeralin) can have a nice deal of nightly march, if they wish to reach us, OR make camp, and meet us next day.

Shanda

13-01-2006, 03:46 PM

ah my last post is abit furthur ahead, the night has become day, but that was just because I didnt want to write unnessesary posts.. so you can keep your thing going and when daybreak arrives I will post again.

Arinnaya

13-01-2006, 04:02 PM

Maybe we should make the succubus disappear in some magical or other way, to make the story running smoothly, to catch up with Tallian and Aeralin. It will give time for Nork to place his character on the track - perhaps one of the Southshore inns is good - after all, we will be searching a bit in dark places in the town, and question a few folks, then go sleeping. Next daybreak, we will awaken early, and continue the searching for clues and witnesses. At that point, Tallian and Aeralin can join up, and so can the Gnome warlock, or any other character, that has gone missing (like Feanaro, and Oscald)... What's your opinion about this?

hehe well IF i could edit my post I could honor the request of cuting my long dialogues a bit so they are easier to read but I cant edit my RP posts.

As for nork Can I ask you a favor.
Don't take this as a flame but just a word of advice
Don't try to make a decision for us.
You can't possably know that this was enough of an explanation for us to think you wouldn't do harm

Try to write to a part and then leave us the decision if we want to know more or we actualy think this was enough. It gives you more RP material.
:happy14:

As for the confusing part, there was sugested we where on a boat. But the DM decided that we are still on the road to southshore so everything that happend on the boat with Armandion thinking happend as we walked to Southshore instead of on the boat. I hope this clears things up a bit

Nork

14-01-2006, 03:50 PM

oops, i do apologise, looks like i am the reason behinde all this confusion, again i am sorry.

I have read the last 14 posts or so priour to making my first entry, so i was almost kosher on what is happening, I cant seem to be able to move my charc sheet into here though, any tips abought that could be handy.

Also, abought the boat thing, from the posts i read before, i only assumed that they were going to Menithil, because an early post was saying summink along the lines of, 'Southhore connected Lorderon with the great continant of Azeroth' or was it the other way round? either way, that is why i assumed.

So any way, i got it on plight now, i used Belavon (the sucubus) to delay the travellers, catching up with them, we hit the tavern in SS. The direction i am heading, is to explain to the Pally, that the Dark Portal is being opened again (in prep for the DarkCrusade!) and that i think that some one in the 2 gryphons tavern has a trinket of some kind that will aid its opening. Thus bringing the story back to the Tavern. Any probs let me know and ill change it, as you can see i have not yet explained my pressance, but i have a few tricks up my sleave if you dont like it.

Sorry i made decicions for you peeps, force of habit when you spend most of your time writing short storied, you tend to write every bodys part, ill keep it under control.

Sorry again for confusing everybody!:innocent:

Nork

14-01-2006, 04:31 PM

ref, your last post abought me making a wrong move.

This is where i want you lot, it gives an air of mystory, a sense of vaulnrability and the like, though my true intentions will not be reviled until later, just to add to the air, all will be revealed.

man i love playing evil!!! it gives me such a buzz!!!

Shanda

14-01-2006, 05:11 PM

ive had a vision... and its not the damn carpet, even if its fun looking at it.
but my vision says that nothing will ever happen in this story.. people just keeps comming up with events one after another, wasent our goal to reach northrend in some way and so on.. then Nork I am sad to say but we wont be engaged in whatever darkportal trouble you have for us, as thats in the wrong part of the world. so can you do me a favor plz? read the whole thread, and the OOC thread. our intentions are already decided.

but then its up to the rest of you, do we want to skip the whole thing and play with demons or do we want to continue with the path we have chosen?

Arinnaya

14-01-2006, 06:20 PM

Nork, yours was a great idea for a quest, it is a pity, that in accordance with Shanda's words, the path is already decided in this RP.

Our two current quest is: *Solving the murder of the Archmage
*Helping Arcantis in saving his brother

Maybe we can add further ones, but that needs consideration first -yours is a grand one, but maybe you can wait with it, or reorganize it to be connected with the Frozen North somehow... What about the latter??

Nork

14-01-2006, 06:24 PM

right oka, guess i will have to reveal my entire intentions, what a bloody spoiler!

i aint going to the dark portal, *certain death looms*, i intercept the party on MY! way to Northrend, seeing the priestess brings visions of a past event, where i ask her to heal my brother, she cant, i get angery, want revenge. So before i leave the party i try and poisen her, but of course i fail, leading to an inavadable PvP instance some where (could be fun). I leave before she is cured, knowing full well that the 'key' is in northrend all along, thus giving us chance to meet up later on, duel to the 'death' but i survive, and blah blah blah... i present an evil 'prsence' through out the story for most of there journey in search of the key. Which i intend to use to open the portal, find my self a magical power to iradicate the Troggs from gnomeregarn, see like Magnito, i may be evil, but my intentions are 'good' to a certain extent.

Does that pass your census? if not then ill guess ill have to think of summink else.

Arinnaya

14-01-2006, 06:36 PM

Not bad idea to generate tension, I think, but when planning plots in advance with others' characters, keep in mind, that it might have a different outcome, than a plot with NPCs: for example, Arinnaya, the Priestess would never duel in 1on1, nor can she be taunted into one. She will only use 'defensive' abilities if it comes to combat, and tries to restrain herself from the evil Shadow school.

If you wish, you could add your character to a long-range journey as well. You need no betrayal: mutual mistrust will be automatic with a paladin and a priest. Maybe if you can help us out with some sub-plots? That would be handy!! The whole storyline, anyway, will be like a dance on a blade's edge, with distrustful alliances, being lost in the roof of the world, and so on. You can easily make yourself an appropriate place in a story like this.

PS: if you have an Undead contact, or an expertize in the matter of poisons and curses (I suppose a warlock has) that would help indeed much advancing the storyline!!!

Nork

14-01-2006, 07:14 PM

okay, we i will change that then, from evil, to disgruntled. Perhaps if you are not privvy to 1on1, then the pally would blame me and challange me to a duel, seeing as he doent like me very much any way, after a while of holy casts, shadow bolts, demon summoning and sacrificing, the NE, who dosnt seem to be doing much at the mo, breaks us off, calls a truce. He cures the priestess, who explains that not even the High priest, Arch Bishop *cant remember his name* could not have saved my brother. a shakey alliance called, i join for the trip to the roof of the world. To get lost and drown under a foot of snow!!! haha! or may be not.

ewpk

14-01-2006, 07:36 PM

Okay here is what I am thinking.
We are off to fight evil in NE right.
But here we have somebody what wants us to stop the reopening of the dark portal. The original portal is being guarded by the alliance even if they could reopen that portal the Alliance would crush the invasion before it started.
So I would say Nork found out that the buring legion has found a way to create a new portal and that they traveled to NE to build an alliance with Either Illyian or Arthas.
This way we still go to NE, we still gonna fight the Evil Shanda has send us to but now we found out there is more to it and that is the part where Nork's idea gets in place.
It's just a tought I have I will go with the oppinion of the group but I think this way we can combine the two.

I see you guys already worked out something else if everyone is happy with that go for it.
Just lets us all agree on a plot before we start posting in the RP section before we are all of interpeting our own ideas.
Imo Shanda started this thread so that means she is DM and I learned one thing the DM is always right.

Nork

14-01-2006, 08:26 PM

From the PM i recived from Arinnaya, we are going to fight the Blue Dragon? I would just like to point out that he lives in solice in a cave, after the detruction of his entire race, and freezes any thing and every thing that should enter dare enter. or am i jumping the gun here?

Arinnaya

14-01-2006, 08:31 PM

What I told you is not about a fight. What we will have to fight, is something... different. After all, keep in mind, that out of the Great Dragonwings (and broods), only Neltharion's is "Kill on Sight". Nozdormu and Malygos are neutral (they will only help others if they get something in exchange), Yshera and Alexstrasza is good-aligned (they will aid any other creature with an aim to do good).

There will be grand events, and confrontations, but we will not kill anyone, who is as powerful as a demi-god. It is about as bad spoiler as killing Sargeras in 1-on-1 combat....

lord timoteo

14-01-2006, 08:55 PM

wel.. you are my best friend
gueon

Nork

14-01-2006, 09:11 PM

thats not a bad story ender, lets take sargeras 1on1 HA! kidding. I understand that we are going to visit the Dragon Kings and that we will be presented a quest and what not, i was saying that Neltharion was a skitzo pshycopathic Gnomeating Dragon and that we would not be able to get any where near his cave before he turns us into ice sculptures. But it seems apparent we all already know this, so im gonan be quiet now! :whistle:

Arinnaya

14-01-2006, 09:13 PM

(to Nork): I like the storyline you wanted to introduce. Indeed, it fits well with the circumstances, and it is also greatly interesting...

Maybe you will take us to Draktharon Keep? That is a dark place, where some powerful items of incredible strength were stored, all in posession of the Scourge. It was also the very place where Arthas took the cursed runeblade Frostmourne out of one of its frozen vaults, thereby murdering his friend Muradin Bronzebeard...

This was just a mere fancy, I am not suggesting anything... just imagining.

(on the Great Dragonwings): Their location is somewhat hard to tell. They have scattered throughout the world for some time. Nozdormu lives in Tanaris, deep within the Caverns of Time. Yshera sleeps deep within the Emerald Dream. Malygos has made his home on the frozen continent of Northrend. Alexstrasza was last seen at Grim Batol, though it is said she left to an unknow location from there. Neltharion/Deathwing was last seen before Draenor's explosion, on a small, rocky island, two weeks worth of flight through the Devouring Sea from Zeth'Kur, Hellfire Peninsula. Where he currently resides, is a mystery. So in conclusion, there are only Blue dragons on Northrend. Save those, who have been reanimated from their bones by the reckless Scourge.

Nork

14-01-2006, 09:25 PM

i am thinking possible location for the 'new' darkportal. Think, the dark power essence will be strong in the area, as a result of Frostmourne lingering whilst it waited for Arthas. Also alot of hatred and betrayal lingers here. Well these are all ideas for 2morrow, i need to get some sleep before i am up all night working on this!!!

Arinnaya

14-01-2006, 09:31 PM

Maybe: what about the problem of "Kil'Jaeden hurling the Lich King back to the world? I mean, it is OK, that he entered it in the sky, but there must have been another portal somewhere, through which the Dreadlords (the Nathrezim) came through! After all, they are demons. And how did that cursed blade get to Draktharon Keep??? Maybe that place harbours not only an undead fortress, but also some dark nexus nexus of powres, or a portal. Otherwise, why was built?

Nork

15-01-2006, 11:46 AM

That was the sort of line that i was going down, cool to see that we are on the same page and all. I think that the magical remanance left in the area would fuel a portal gate. Linked to the past, with the forging of the Frostmourne blade and Illidans attempt to collapse the roof of the world and the place where the Lich King was frozen on his throne.

The magical energy residing in this place would be enough to open a gateway, or, be the result of a gateway currently existing.

But this is not for awhile yet, we still need to think abought the Dragonblight's and what of this curse of un-death the palladin is hunting for? we need more un-dead involvemant. Perhaps a new alliance between the Scourge and the Burning Legion? Lich King assassins? or even scouts? could this be the border of another war? what abought Arcantis? has any one seen the nerubian?

Arinnaya

15-01-2006, 12:03 PM

I think Electro has taken Arcantis over from Shadowrender, the original creator of him. So you have to PM him to ask for details. One thing is certain: he has achieved a central role in the questline so far.

What Nork the warlock told is interesting... It would solve much problems, but poses others: How did he know the Archmage's intents? Was there a connection between his Nerubian lore studies, and the dark powers of the North?

Even if I am aware of, that this questline contains much of a treachery, and personal vengeance... it is a great idea to 'mislead' the group to a place, where the sole purpose of the warlock could only be to obtain secret, but powerful items only because of his greed and lust for power.

I think, no allaince between Arthas and the demons is possible. They have become sworn enemies. But as Ilidan was defeated, the new Lich King's powers are slowly regenerating. Threteaning to unleash the horrid plague on the unsuspecting world once again.

Arcantis' aim are only about his brother, and some nerubian fellows. after all, they were the first victims of Nehr'Zul's mad bid for world domination.

But for now, concentrate on current events: this exceeds to the (STF) thread: do not write anything, that is not mentioned in the story already. To address those speculations, use this thread!!!

Nork

15-01-2006, 01:25 PM

did i put forth speculation? must have done it without realisation.
As for me, i found out abought the key when i went to the Blasted Lands to look for my master, its all in the back story. Though you are right it does not say exactly HOW i came to know that it might be in Northrend and how i came to know that the mage would know. I figured it would be a good idea to include the mage as he was coming to visit the Nerubian, who just happened to originate from Northrend, did we ever find out what the meeting was going to be abught?, ohhh, this is really strarting to get interessting, but we need to start posting in RP main, where are the rest of them?

Grysham

15-01-2006, 03:51 PM

Well to put my character well and truly to rest, I wont be coming back to this particular RP. The story has progressed alot and I dont feel as though my character would really fit, I dont want to ruin a storyline afterall. Feel free to carry on without me.

Nork

15-01-2006, 03:56 PM

well there seems to be no carrying on at the mo, not until Ewpk makes a post, or perhaps, Elandil.

ewpk

16-01-2006, 10:16 AM

Hey guys,

Sorry been quite bussy this weekend so didn't have time to post.
My mind is working on what to write next so I will post soon :P

Nork

16-01-2006, 12:28 PM

I was reading through the story, trying to get a bit of history (i read up tp page 12 in one go!), and i got thinking.

I keep mentioning a key and a betrayal, perhaps directed at Arinnaya, for being the opposite of me and not saving my brother. Well i thought, bolls to my brother, his a leaper gnome and thats thats.

But this ring Arinnaya has, this is whats intriging me. I am thinking that this could be the key i am after. Imbued with the power of the Dragonflights, it could harness enough power to open a gateway. Through sacrificing one that holds the strongest ties to it. Seeing as Arinnaya has it and she had a dream abought the Dragons battle with the Demons. It could be her.

But of course i get foiled and all that before i can get her to the scrificial alter.

Shanda

16-01-2006, 04:33 PM

I see you guys already worked out something else if everyone is happy with that go for it.
Just lets us all agree on a plot before we start posting in the RP section before we are all of interpeting our own ideas.
Imo Shanda started this thread so that means she is DM and I learned one thing the DM is always right.

I am a HE for all that I know... I know shanda is a girlyname.. there is even a NE-girl in teldrassil thats has the name Shanda, but when I made my wow char and this thing I did not know that.. I have a book in which there is a guy named shanda, and anotherone were another guy is called sayn shanda. but I am a male! I have benn called a girl to many times as it is!

So. and about your speculations....man, sergeras? illidan? the lich king? burning legion.. are we that good? I mean we are talking about demi-gods here and bloody titans. It feels like this whole thing is out of control, way out of control, four people has left, and about 4 new has come in.. maybe we should just skip the whole "WOA" and start something brand new.
we have like what? 4-100 quests and tasks, and each of them has like 2374 smaller ones? we will never be able to sort this mess out. Not in a million years.
For myself I say that we skip WOA and start from not maybe scratch but from the beginning of something els.. we just have to pick ONE of the stories and go with that. But then thats just what I think.. If everyone wants to continue this then sure. but I still think its to messy atm.
we can even say its a "learning" RP.. and now we can start the real one, as Grysham did with his sweeeeeping tide.

Fayeborn

16-01-2006, 05:19 PM

Wow. I've been away long enough to get thoroughly lost.

Carry on then, carry on.

Nork

16-01-2006, 05:44 PM

wow, shanda! you dont have exagerate a fair bit.

From what i can see there are 4 people and 3 quests so far. Arinnaya and Elania are going to find out abought a ring, Gareth is finding out abought an un-death curse and me? i am after petty revange, every step of the way.

As for taking on 'Gods', there are refrences and mentions of Titans, Gods, Sargeras and the like, all over WoW, but you dont get to fight any of them, except Ragneros and soon to be Illidan in the expansion. SO just coz we 'refer' to them. does not mean we are going to be fighting them.

Also, we are starting a new 'story', looks like Greysham is the DM, as he created the world (with a little nudging from me, *ahem*) but check out the thred, 'new RP' for details.

ewpk

16-01-2006, 05:50 PM

Hey guys well to start over is a bit harsh.
I think we are well on our way to just getting started.
About the many subquests, I don't know but I think we only have two.

1. We heared there was an undead curse in Northend.
2 We heared that The burning legion is trying to create a new portal in
Northend.

If I missed some the little side quests let me know.

In the idea I posted, both quests would be linked as the scourge is still allied with the legion so The lich king is probably aiding The burning legion again to open this new portal. The group just hasn't figured that one out yet.

The only thing that is happening in the story in my oppinion is that we are sepperated
This makes the story slow.
Futher more who is DMing this RP?
The only thing this RP needs is structure.
Someone to implement the new ideas in the story-line so things won't get confusing. As far as I know grysam was doing the story telling but he stepped out of the story.
If no one is doing that now I happely apply for the job, if this is what Shanda's doing I will follow the DM.

One thing I noticed is the following:
We all play our characters great.
But the problem is if you hard-core play your Char, things will happen that won't benifit the story so it's all about finding a balance between what your character would do and what is good for the story.
For example:

When Nork introduced himself he choose to send a demon to deliver the message.
My paladin can do only one thing and that is slay the beast and if Nork tries to prevent that kill nork aswell or die trying.
Now this might be a great in character move but it won't help the story as I kill one of the characters.

So I decided that I would not respond entirly in char but it's for the better outcome of the story.
This is just my humble oppinion but I think we have to sort this out before we start RPing again so I hope we can all agree on listen to all the people in the story first before we actualy make a next move.

Arinnaya

16-01-2006, 07:55 PM

There is nothing so wrong about this RP: after all, people keep entering and leaving a considerable havoc. I think, it would be the best, that if we can orrganise a 'good' group (capable of a consistent adventure), we can take the story to the next chapter: I think, I will start a new thread then with the title "The Frozen North (RP)", or let Shanda start it. It would continue the story from the point we departed from Lordaeron towrds north.

And Nork, what I have written here about the gods was just a pure joke. Though I have planned some epic encounters, mortals will never be that powerful to challenge even a lesser god.

All we currently have to do, is write a "Sherlock Holmes" or "Agatha Christie" story about how we came to investigate the crime of murder against that archmage. So think about some 'clues' about the crime, and witnesses. That is just about the same I will do, either.

Shanda

17-01-2006, 12:56 AM

ah well good thing Arin, Il fix that thread as soon as we are ready to depart from SS.. but for now I think Tallian will go missing.. "whistles"
so YAWP should I keep writing for your char or are you ready to take her back? as the two of them will soon split.

edit: I would be glad if you could greet Aeralin when she came walking up the road..

Arinnaya

17-01-2006, 01:00 PM

Hmm.. It is OK... but wait: What is the time of your post??? I assumed at my last, that it was still night, some moments before the adventurers went sleeping (technically I was waiting for Ewpk, Electro and Nork). So is the moment, when Aeralin and Tallian entered the town, still late night??? I assume, just a few posts, and it will be morning (we need every1 to write a post like "my character has gone sleeping"). And we can carry on with the adventure.

Shanda

17-01-2006, 04:28 PM

Its day..or late. your post ended with something about a clear sky etc etc.. isnt that like the sign of day?... bah or maybe I messed up.. see everyone can do it even the girlish DM who isnt a girl

Arinnaya

17-01-2006, 05:48 PM

Sorry, I wrote (due to an error): "skies on the sky", instead of "Stars on the sky". Perhaps, I do not have to press how meaningless the former is...

It is not a problem if your characters (Aeralin and Tallian) arrived to town late night instead of waiting at the camp. It even gives a certain 'dreadful' sense when you mentioned Tallian to be kidnapped., if it happened at night.

Nork

17-01-2006, 07:02 PM

Right, im getting a bit botheree by this now, arinnaya is the third person to state abought me wanting to take on the gods, sure i might be hardcore and that, but i know i cant take on gods.

If you read my last post, it clearly ststes that i said nothing of them taking on any gods, that i was only using them as refrence as to what the ultimate evil was behinde the events. Im planning to take on another Gnome warlock who betrayed me and useing you lot to get me there. Have any of you read what i put at all?

Shanda

17-01-2006, 07:48 PM

Na not maybe taking on the gods, but they standing behind can be scary enough as that would mean other very very powerfull enemys can stumble over us. But as long as they are passive and dont send in "the elite demons of überness" everything will be okey I hope/think.

so I need Ari or electro to respond to Aeralins arrival, then we can continue.
and then tallian can get away from whatever has captured him!.
and then we can start our journey towards silverpine---Northrend.

And when that happens il make another thread called "The frozen north" or something..

Nork

17-01-2006, 10:25 PM

you intend to go to Northrend through Silverpine?
Wasnt the costal town there over run by wolf men things?

:idea:

We could have a massive battle type thing. Sort of a climax to end the chapter, before we get to Northrend. We could also loose one of the party members, like Tallian, seeing as he is being kidnapped and all. That would add a pretty kick ass cliff hanger, if written good.

But never fear, Nork is here. Once we reach Northrend, Enalia could be like '...where is Tallian ...' and id be all like '...I may be evil, but i need all that i can to get me to my task, i have some soul shards, there are 2 of us, ill summon him...' Thus he gets freed from his captures. cool or wot?

:idea:

ALso, could the begger i stumbled across have something to do with Tallians kidnap?
Could the Kidnap have something to do with Tallians book?
I was going to take the book, sensing its powers, like Luke does with the force:scratch: , But i figured that the book was something to do with the kidnap, so i left it well alone.:hide:

Well godda go, the pink elephants are starting to look at me funny.

Shanda

17-01-2006, 11:43 PM

ehm? how can you know anything about the book? you havent even met Tallian yet. and this kidnapping is just some brief thing, very brief. and more about the book, im afraid you cannot use it in any way, it was made by and for mages alone. The price for nonmages trying to read it is to horrible to mention "laughes insanly"

I havent been much in silverpine but the only place I have found worgen is in duskwood.. but then silverpine is overrun with undead so battles we wont have problems with. and isnt there a harbour in pyrowood village? the alliance have a town there filled with lvl 24 elites or something. that could be a good place to find a boat as the rest of silvepine is under forsaken control. most of it...at least.

and dont care about the begger, hes just a begger as im far from that place by now, the story will reveal itself in my next post as Tallian! so stay tuned!

Nork

17-01-2006, 11:52 PM

I was only coming up with some suggestions and its easy to stumble across a book when you rummage through peoples bags. But i didnt bother so lets not talk abought it.

Pyrowood Village, spelt pyrewood village, i think. Is deffently overrun with wolfmen, though they are not worgen. They are apcific to Duskwood. I know because the keep at the top of the hill, nest to the village, is where i had to get a special blacksmiths hammer, for a paladin uber quest, for 'Verigans Fist'.

And i would like to point out, next time you get knocked out, try not to spawl in the middle of the street, Nork is only a small Gnome and he wasted alot of energy climbing over your body, before it was dragged away to wher ever.

Oh! the pink elephants are back, godda run!

Nork

18-01-2006, 12:53 AM

I must appologise for my appuling grammer and spelling in my last post, i have been sat in fron of this PC for the last 4 hours, and its 1 in the moring, and by god i am tired. So again sorry, wount let it happen again, and i am way to tired to do any thing abought it now, cept sleep, lots and lots of sleep. Spose this is why the pink elephants have come to my house today! well i guess id better show them the door.

Shanda

18-01-2006, 09:44 AM

my intentions was not to be seen by ayone during my capture, and the "man" that struck me certainly took me with him, should he not?.. and it was not some begger I can asure you. The man lying on the street you saw was not me and could not have been.... maybe someone the begger had robbed but not Tallian.

and now I understand your words about the book, as you thought.. or wrote that Tallian would be lying there, but as it is not so we have solved that thingy to.

and I will investigate pyrewood village soon and see whats inside cus last time I visited it was crawling with dalaran soldiers.. as that instance is above, shadowfang keep. but il get back with that. anf if it is worgen inside there, then its much better, as we can have, as you say, a ending big big battle.

Nork

18-01-2006, 11:57 AM

mwhahaha! *rubs hands together and prepares for combat*.

I just thought i would add him climbing over you, just to show Norks couldnt careless abought any one else sorta attitude. But hay seeing as it was just some drunk...why are we even talking abought this? nvm.

Arinnaya

18-01-2006, 01:39 PM

A really funny thing, that Nork, the warlock has overheard the voices that were speaking to Arinnaya in her dream!!! That maybe needs a bit reconsideration.

and, to the main topic/objectives: I think, it would not be a wise idea, to fully unwrap all secrets, and storylines, beforewe really set onto the adventure... So, if you can plan some twists, plese keep it at (partial) secret, only giving slight hints to the others...

It is a good idea to make a de-tour to Pyrewood village, if you can give a good questline there!!! But all the thing we currently need is, that please, discover some kind of evidence to solve the murder of the Archmage!!

Next day, should we plan to travel northwards, we will meet Arcantis in the middle of fields, being harassed by local countrymen, and villagers, who think he is an undead monster, and trying to kill him...

Shanda

18-01-2006, 04:44 PM

good idea.. hmm but okey I have some ideas when we reach pyrewood.. pyrewood.. damn I forgot to check what lives there.. Il do that later..
but when we reach that place I as I said have some ideas..

Pyrewood village is inhabited by people, formerly humans, who have been afflicted by the Worgen Curse, thanks to Archmage Arugal, ruler of Shadowfang Keep. As a result, these 'people' turn to worgen each and every night, though they are still dangerous enough in the daylight as well.

Nork

Yhe see, evil lurks where good once lived. Is Arinnaya on the same page as Shanda and myself? we are not de-touring to Pyrewood, we are going to Pyrewood to get to Northrend.

My psycic ability is me highlighting the fact that the shadows talk to Nork, due to his apithany with Shadow magic. As was said erarlyer on in the story, when Oscald was controlling Grythic. I think it was you who stated that maybe the powers of shadow would hold the ability to read peoples thoughts.
I thought i would demonstrate how the ability might work for me. But then as you strted highlighting the Arch-mage once again, i am sure i could use it to stumble upon the Murderes thoughts. But what we need is some one willing to volenteer as the murderer, or an assilant. I would be more than willing and i have already thought of a few good story lines.

Nork

Thought id better explain Norks psycic ability before people jump the gun and start making assumptions.

Nork is not entirely psycic, If you sit in a busy pub and listen to the chatter, that is what Nork heres, If you concentrate hard enough, you can actually here into peopls conversations, though you only get the gist of it and sometimes you can barely make out what they are saying. that is what its like for Nork.

Also he cannot see the people in his head, or see through the persons eyes. Or dealve through his mind and see what they are going to do, or what they have done. He can ony here what they are thinking at the time.

I thought i would give Nork a weak psycic ability, to refrnce what was said near the beggining of the story, when Oscold ws possesed, or what evr, plus, all i know is that the 'key' is in Northrend, with the psycic ability, i would be able to better find my master and leave off and hunt for him, though i suppose, at this point i would be leaving the party for good and not returning until 'Sweeping Tides' forum, i am working on a connecting story for the Fan Fiction page, though i cant really put a begginig to it until we are finished here.

I heard Arinnaya's voice when she was dreaming, though i did not know it was her and i did not know what was happening in the dream, i did not know she was dreaming, and i did not know it was dragons, i perpousefully left that bit of the text out. Also when on the beach i heard the voice of the killer. i assumed that it would be a rouge. Because poisen arrows were used, and they were all in his back, Rouges prefer to attack from the rear as this causes more damage. i also thought,that the gnome Arinnaya saw in the Inn, was the Killer, of whom the thoughts of, i was hearing on the beach. If notm then i guess the killer is an evil little gnome rouge.

(on the murderer):
I think it would be better to let him be someone 'mysterious' person, some would identify as 'undead', while some as 'human'... either way, he is no longer in town. We must question townsfolks, and others to know if they had actually seen him. He was a dark person, his face was never to be seen, and with an unnervingly evil aura around him. Better ask the smith, or the stablemaster if they had seen him. Or perhaps, a single, broken arrow, found in the middle of an abandoned alley could tell more than every witness, for it woould make us possible, to identify the mysterious poison he used.

(on mental abilities):
Reading eachothers' minds would fit well with a shadowpriest (especially a Troll Witch Doctor, or, to a lesser extent, the Undead).. But I fear warlocks would only have a limited access to such abilities (unless you do not wish to multiclass your character into Warlock/Priest ( possible for shadow side only). What I have to tell, is that Arinnaya does not posess any desire, nor knowledge to use the shadow school so deliberately. It is considered a deviancy for the followers of the Holy Light. Others (Trolls, Undead, etc) migh consider that way as the traditional path a priest must take...

Me again. Quick post here.

I'm starting to loose track of what's going on. Could someone please post in the STF thread or here or PM where everyone is, where everyone is going, and are we one big happy raid or not.

I think for simplicity of understanding's sake, when you are referring to someone by their race,
"And the Elf ran across the football field and scored the touchdown" and you haven't mentioned any names, just put in parenthesis please who that "Elf" is, as we have several of them running around the RP.

Thanks.

And please, somehow communicate to me a current status of what's going on.

I THINK we are all heading to Northrend or something like that.

Nork

19-01-2006, 07:17 AM

ran across a football field and scored a touchdown? where i come from you score a goal! HA!

Any way. Arinnaya and Enalia are seeking council with Mygrol, the Green Dragon was it? abought her strange ring. Garreth has found evidance, or every body, has found evidance of an Un-death curse and wishs to try and track the source. Aerilia(sorry, is that how you spell it), has decided to go with Arinnaya and Enalia. I beleive Arcantis, still seeks his brother and me? i am useing the party to exact my revenge on my old Warlock teacher. Useing a story that there is a key in Northrend somewhere that can open a portal to Outland. Oh! nearly forgot, we are working out ways of trying to find evidance abought the Arch-mage's murderer.

On the note of my slight mental ability, you must remember that Norks ability is very weak, i cant emphasise that enough. He hears things through the shadows that no one else, but other powerful Warlocks can make out. It comes with there affinity with the Shadows. Every body tells there secreats to the shadows. every bodys mind is a dark and mysteriouse place. But seeing as the ability is lodged into the story, i spose, i could make him a cross with a shadow priest, though he is pordomintly Warlock and knows nowt of his priest abilities.

19-01-2006, 02:18 PM

(comments to the post above): It is making me smile, just to look at the misspelled names. I would suggest to anyone (incuding myself), to read back each post before finally sending them... it saves a lot of time correcting the errors.

Some minor suggestions on warlocks' pets: Though (for pure game-mechanical reasons) the game allows you to summon demons, or whatever pet you want in the middle of towns, it would not fit well with an RPG. People would be scared to hell seeing a demon, and being caught by them would provide a swift end of a warlock's career, finding himself on the stakes being burned as a witch, in no time... Therefore I suggest him to act secretive. Not to reveal anything, only to suggest, that he has some taint of 'evil aura' around him, and all his actions are infused by foul motivations. I think, Nork, you have played the latter extremely well.

When out of town, naturally, he can reveal himself: but beware: Avoid being caught for 'forbidded arts' by any means!!! I have nothing against telepathic abilities, if they do not 'overflow' the game: they must not make acting too easy, by reading every townfolk's minds, instead of questioning them.

(on electro's characters): I suggest using them as NPCs, taking them along wherever we go, 'till he comes back!!

Nork

19-01-2006, 04:04 PM

I was reading back through the posts, picking up the flow of the story once more and i ahev realised that i have used the psycic ability a bit too much. I was only trying to demonstrate that the power is there and it is this power, i intend to use to try and locate my Master, for my petty revenge, though i will make it so that it would seem that i am seeking him out, but in truth, he is leading me on a fishing line, transmitting his thoughts into my head and all. But form now i will play it down and in the time of 'Sweeping Tide' I do not have the ability full stop. As i am no longer governed by the Shadow, as is explaine in my Backstory for that thred.

Nork

19-01-2006, 08:06 PM

Right okay, you wanted evidance, i have found some. An empty vile that used to contain the poisen that was used on the arrow heads, that killed the priest and turned him into a zombie. If any one is an alchamist, they could decipher what the concoction is made of, thus determining where the poisen came from.

Just to clear things up, the man the knocked me over was NOT, the killer. I needed some way for Nork to be close enough to the ground to happen to look through the cracks in the wood and see the vile. And i wasnt going to have him stumble and fall over. Nork is not a clumsy chracter. I beleive Oscald was the clumsy one?!

20-01-2006, 12:14 AM

(to Shanda): Colossal story, what you have written this time!! I have not seen this good in this thread since its start!! I can only speak about Tallian in superlatives henceforth.

(to Nork): The vial of poison seems good enough... if we could only analise its contents... Anyone, is there a character, who has some Alchemist knowledge?? My bad, Arinnaya is a Tailor (as a family heritage), and has no knowledge save this, and a few bits of Enchanting, but she is really-really bad in the latter - yet.

Hmm.. maybe Aeralin or Enalia??? Or even Tallian, the most skilled in lore from all the group??

I have originally though about finding witnesses to a strange man's (or undead's?) visit in the town, and find a broken arrow, which carries the same poison, as the vial, and has a plaguing effect. Then we would suspect he was an Undead, and go seek him in Tarren Mill... What do you think, or plan???

And: what shall we do with Aeralin...And Enalia?? I have left them chatting in the tavern... I wonder what Your Average WOW Player, and electro wishes to do with them??? If they both quit, I can take one character along, but all of them is a bit much (think or Arcantis as well), and the Nerubian cannot quit, since we need him for the storyline!!!

PS: I added a few additional links, for the Lore-hungry, this time about the Frozen North:
Malygos, the Spellweaver (http://www.wowwiki.com/Malygos), the Mighty Blue Dragonwing, Sapphiron, the most powerful Frost Wyrm ever, Nerubians (http://www.wowwiki.com/Nerubian), a few bits about the Ice Trolls (http://www.wowwiki.com/Ice_Trolls), and generally about Northrend (http://www.wowwiki.com/Northrend). I hope you enjoy!!

21-01-2006, 04:48 PM

You are not obliged to do anything... It was just a thing, that even you frequently mentioned before... the ability to correct a few errors... though it is not necessary, only if you feel so.

(on Tallian's story): reading back the posts, I found out, that, strangely enough, the sole person that could have noticed Tallian, was Aeralin. The others are just swarming over the Town Hall, in another quarter of the town. If very-very necessary, I could bring Arinnaya back from there... Just press it, if you need it so. Otherwise, they will go on evidence-hunting throughout the city.

Shanda

21-01-2006, 10:04 PM

if you read Electros last post Aeralin askes Arinnaya if they should go back to the tavern. The rest is up to you I think. Tallian wont die on a table inside some tavern in southshore, and I think the people inside the Inn is tending to him as much as they can so your in no direct hurry.

Nork

22-01-2006, 02:59 AM

we still need to come up with some evidance pointing the finger at some one. I say Garreth did it, at the Tavern, with a poisen Arrow.

PS i kid!

Arinnaya

22-01-2006, 04:52 PM

I think, it would be the best to assume that the murderer was a Necromancer. (http://www.battle.net/war3/undead/units/necromancer.shtml) However, our heroes will not know it , and will keep on searching for either a human assasin, or a forsaken Undead.

Finding the potion was a good idea, but I do not know if Garreth has any Alchemy skill. In turn, electro has mentioned, that Enalia does posess it to some grade. Ask her later if you want to be sure about the poison.

Nork

23-01-2006, 02:10 AM

I know that Enalia posses the skills to decipher its content. But you forget, i have only briefly spoken to Enalia, all i know is her name and that she is a hunter. I brought the vile to Garreth because he is the only person that i assotiate to start with. Note when i first arrived, i said i was looking for a paladin. Also you forget that in character, i dont know any of you, not even you Arinnaya, all i know is that you are a priest. So form there, i give the vile to Garreth, who looks upon it and asks if any one posses' the skill.

Arinnaya

24-01-2006, 01:49 AM

The picture slowly assembles.. There are people, who have seen a mysterious man that terrible night, and there was another intriguing piece of evidence found: an unfired arrow, with its edge holding some poison... it will turn out to be the same, as the contents of that vial...

(to Nork and ewpk): I believe you two have your characters engaged in talking. Since ewpk is not responding for several days, any idea, how to 'shutdown' this broken piece of plot???

(to Shanda): Arinnaya and Enalia are going back to the Tavern. If you wish an interaction driven by Tallian, feel free to include them!!!

(to YAWP): If you still want to participate, Aeralin is still here, standing hopeless, for no one has initiated plots with her... any ideas on her actions???

(to Grysham and Fayeborn): if you wish, there is still a chance for you to re-enter the story this point. Say your character went another way, but Grythic has caught scent... you could end up helping us track down the murderer...

Nork

24-01-2006, 06:11 AM

Please tell me we are going to leave SS soon, the sea air is not good for my sinasys!!!

i will give Ewpk another 24hrs from the time of this post before i will use my excellant writting skills to explain my way out of the Hall and to Enalia, to look upon the vile, then remember the arrow, figure out where it came from so that we can be on our way and onto the 2nd chapter of the story

Shanda

24-01-2006, 04:34 PM

as Tallian is " in another world" atm I cant really post, but if you two return to the tavern you will find me there. But some healing and tending would be good so I can get back on track.

I'm still interested in the RP. I just don't have the time yet to sit down, and make a nice decent post in the IC thread.

I'll still need someone to take control of my character. Give me about a week and a half to two weeks. I should hopefully have the time then.

All I'll need is someone to talk control of my char, keep the Story Thus Far thread up to date, and when I have the time again, I'll start posting again.

I just really don't have the time to sit down and make a nice decent post.

yea.. but it seems as if all of us are abit buisy with otherstuff atm.. and Tallian is still having a blackout...

Arinnaya

02-02-2006, 08:21 PM

(to Shanda): OK, I am coming back, however, I need you to handle Aeralin as well, for I do not know where she is at the current moment...

(to Nork): Where is your character?? I can assure you, Arinnaya and Enalia have already reached the tavern, so it would barely make sense, if you "just met them on the road", unless it was in front of the Lordaeron Brew.
Oh, and by the way, a little, disturbing issue: The word vile means "of low quality, or evil". You should better check this misspelling, for I am sure, you meant vial, that means a "small object to store liquids, made of glass". This is just a petty error, yet it makes reading/understanding much harder... No serious chastising meant from my side, for I commit errors like this every day...

I think we could continue once we have re-gathered at the inn... Make sure to bring every character there!!

(to electro): I think, Enalai has to solve the mystery: we already have 2 pieces of the puzzle at hand: the broken arrow from the town stables, and the vial of poison found on the shore... now, all that is needed, to put the pieces together... Oh, and remember the groom's tale of that "dark visitor"... now everyone would think he was an undead, right??

Nork

02-02-2006, 11:40 PM

Your last post would have suggested that you were still at the stables, or, just abought to leave the stables. I had Nork run into you, or you run into me, on your way back to the Tavern.

Do that first and then we can see if we can squize you in somewhere.

ArKaineRevived

06-02-2006, 05:32 PM

OK then, here it is...

Name: Vorne
Race: Tauren
Age: 25
Class: Druid

Appearance: Large and bulky, Vorne has your everyday Tauren posture. His horns are both angled foreward and he has two long braids and has brown fur.

Equipment: Full leather outfit mostly. His cap is made from a wolveshead, so i looks as if he has the head of a wolf. He made most of his armor himself as he is a leatherworker.

Special Equipment: The Obsidian Staff: A large staff with an emerald on top and at the bottom. Imbues the holder with exceptional spiritual powers and the emeralds make an attack with this staff even harder!

Backstory: Vorne, a young druid from a very small village near the Red Mesa in Mulgore, grew up with his parents until he was 17, when his village was raided by the brutal quillboar. They murdered his parents and Vorne fled to a safer valley more to the south with the rest of the surviving villagers.

There he lived under the watch of chief Hawkwind, who sent him to Seer Wiserunner to start his training as a druid. After a year of faithfull training, he finally became a true druid. He has many powers such as the ability to heal grievous wounds, use nature's power to attack his enemies, and even turn into many animal forms.

He is a warrior of The Earth Mother...

OOC: Well, I thought to join myself and here goes. My character may be a little Odd but I hope you enjoy.

Name: Erridan Stormscale
Race: Naga
Age: mid thirties in human years
Occupation/Class: Naga Myrmidon (Warrior)

Background story:

Ten thousand years ago Erridan Stormscale was known as Erridan Nightblade, a non-Highborne Night Elf who before the sundering had served as a guard for one of the nobles of the city of Suramar. All went well for him, until the times when his beloved Queen and his own master tapped into the Magic of the Well of Eternity became distant, aloof. Remaining to his simple lifestyle he continued his duty as a guard until eventually the Conflict that resulted in the Sundering began. In the climactic battle in he was caught in without his own well he was thrown to the bottom of the sea, mutated by the Well's Energies into what he is today. A serpentine Naga Myrmidon bound to the Iron will of the wife of his former master, a high ranking Naga Siren. When Illidan Stormrage issued the call he was one of the first Naga to come to the surface but not with desire of vengeance like the others, but overwhelmed with curiosity, to see how the surface had changed. Eventually leaving the bulk of the rest of Naga he set out on his own. Crossing the sea to the Eastern Kingdoms he arrived on the Shores of Silverpine Forest. Unused after so many millenia to go deep in land he proceeded cautiously, past the Worgen who despite their ferocity avoided engaging the serpetine humanoid, to the Road connecting the Undercity and The Sepulcher. Exploring a little east he came close to the Murloc Camps of Lordamere lake.

The small, primitive Murlocs intimidated by the large Naga Myrmidon cowered and accepted him among their ranks for a short period as he helped them catch fish from the bottom of the huge lake. Swimming south, past Fenris Keep he soon felt the ripples of Magic...watching the purple bubble of protective Aura estabilished around Dalaran, he was drawn closer until when emerging from the foul waters of Lordamere lake he encountered a human acolyte wizard. Trying to convince the man that he means no harm he spoke in Najzatari, which seemed to the trainee in the arts of magic as a slightly Warped Thalassian, eventually communication estabilishing between the two.
Retaining his freedom for now he stays North of Dalaran with the acceptance of the wizards keeping to himself but hoping that one day he could join a group of surface dwellers to explore more of the world.

Appearance:
Equipped for Battle Erridan wears a special armor made from very durable seashells, polished to reflect light like a crystal, combined with platemail pieces, fashioned in such a way to allow him to swim despite the Weight.
Otherwise he appears as a normal Naga by all standards, he carries a Trident, sword and shield, typical equipment for one of his kind.
Contrary to the hateful Naga behavior he tries to communicate with whoever he encounters, in order to expand his knowledge on the current state of the world.

Shanda

08-02-2006, 04:33 PM

ArkaineRevived: Nice thats better, just one thing thou. Isnt 1 years training to become a "true" druid abit short?. But if we ignore that your char works, not so much detail but that only builds up abit mystichism about him.
So your next step will be the starting post. make it loger then you usually would post as it is just the starting. and remember that a tauren in alliance lands or towns will be tricky so I think you should start somewhere els then among us.

LegnarStormfist: hmm your story works, but your starting post dont. sorry to be harsh but you are a naga right? its almost the same problem as Vorne will have, you can really walk into a human town in the middle of the day. And the fact that our friends atm are inside the townhall makes it even harder for your char to get to them. So if you can remove what you have written and rethink your options. we will soon heed towards silverpine or perhaps even dalaran at first, you can meet us there. or find us or whatever. so Write some kind of intruductionpost, long, so we get to know your character. and remember you havent seen any of us. so then you can know our names can you?

..oh dear I feel like some kind of judge here.. But we have had so many misunderstandings and what not so its maybe about time I start to work on this thread to make it run properly and whitout all the errors. So im sorry Arkaine and Legnar if I sound ..harsh and angry, I am not a naga and a tauren can spice this up abit bnut you must remember who you are.
And if you have anything you want to say or want mr to do, just ask.

The last things is to all of you guys. If you find something that dont really seem right and you can fix it yourselves just poke me and il try to fix it.

exept? dont you mean accept.. but if you read what I wrote its not about nor accepting or not.. its logical thinking, I said you are welcome but that you must consider your options.. you can meet us in southshore as it is an alliance town and you are a tauren.. thats what I said and nothing els.

And about the name.. yes its abit "general" but when we started the thread we didnt have any distinct directions to where this would lead, now when we have I am going to rename it. but not until we get to where we should start the "real" adventure.

Arinnaya

10-02-2006, 08:37 PM

I thought about something: you truely need a special entry point, since you simply cannot walk into Southshore and say 'Hello'. Just have a bit patience... we will heading towards north soon, to learn something from the Undead of Tarren Mill. Perhaps, your character (if a druid), could be working on to rejuvenate the lands, and quench its suffering the Scourge caused. Perhaps, you could be working with the acknowledgement of the Forsaken, though independently... Now.. what's your opinion??

For the Naga warrior, I can imagine a separate story: we will travel towards Silverpine soon... after paying a visit to Dalaran... maybe, if we would free you from Dalaran?? or encounter you, while you hang around?? It would be good.

NOTICE: we will encounter Arcantis once we have left Southsore behind, as he will be in a calamitous situation: some farmers will surround him, and trying to kill, believing he is a crypt fiend... It won't be easy to clear up the situation, since the poor simple-minded folks will think of our adventurers, that they are betrayers, and in league with the Undead (though these folks do not make differnece betweenForsaken or Scourge) to make this troubling enough...

ArKaineRevived

11-02-2006, 06:05 PM

Its really hard for me to find an entry point, so I think i'll make another character, Alliance this time. Is that ok then?

Name: Brandor
Race: Dwarf
Age: 23
Class: Hunter
Pet: Shardtooth Bear

Appearance: Brandor is pretty tall for a dwarf, and has furious red hear, beard and moustache. He has blue eyes and a pretty big nose.

Equipment: Mostly travellers clothing. Leather boots and gloves, a tunic made of sturdy leather, and a nice hat too.

Special Equipment: Ironweaver: A huge gun made completely out of really
small iron plates. Provides the best stability
and aim.
Sniper Scope: A scope on top of the Ironweaver to make it
deadly accurate.

Backstory:
Brandor grew up in the big city of Ironforge. He always adored animals and played with them everyday when he was young. When he was 16 he got his first boomstick, and he realised he had a talent for shooting. He went hunting a lot with his father, Bregdor, and he picked up the skill of hunting.

After a few years he was ready to set out alone, and he travelled from town to town throughout Khaz Modan. When he heard there was a shooting contest in Stormwind, so he took the first subway and headed for the main Human city. When the contest was over, he was elected the new champion.

Brandor has faced many enemies throughout his travels, he even made it to Kalimdor a few times, but it's just hot there for his liking. Once when he was sleeping, an undead bandit tried to attack him, only to find that there was a white bear blocking his way. Brandor woke up and saw the bear protecting him. They've been good pals eversince and Brandor called him Paw.

Sorry i'm not good at writing long stories when i've got not much to base upon or when i don't have the right amount of inspiration.

Arinnaya

11-02-2006, 06:59 PM

it is totally OK, and even understandable... But don't throw out your original idea as well: if not in Southshore, we can meet your tauren later. And you can control multiple characters if you wish. Personally, may character does not have anything against Taurens, Trolls, and even Orcs, though will not trust the Undead... This is not the game. You can let your character develop unique relationships, and diplomacy.

And there are some, that had their owner quit, thus they are 'still looking for a new owner': like Arcantis, the Nerubian.

Nork

11-02-2006, 09:41 PM

Arinnaya, i have but one thing to say. I dont know who Tallian is. I have never met him, so i wouldnt be woundering abought him sitting in the Tavern, let alone shout out his name. Though what i would be curiouse abought is who this Tallian is. No matter, we all forget little details sometimes.

Shanda

12-02-2006, 12:31 PM

Sorry for my absence the last days but ive had quite alot to do :/

Arkaine: sorry if I in any way made you change char, Brador works perfectly and its up to you if you want to have him or your tauren, or perhaps both as Ariannaya suggested.

Oh and nice that you guys found me :) il make some kinda if "wakening" post later today.

Edit: And btw "my" body is bloody, broken, burnt and all other horrible things you can imagine. not just scared or worn. we are talking HEAVY damage here :)

(on Erridan's story):

Masterful plot!! Indeed you bridged the seemingly impossible chasm with a simple and excellent idea. But, be warned, it might take a while, before we leave the town, and remember: we will go straight to Tarren Mill, that means, Hillsbrad is not on the way... SO: either we meet Erriadan later, or You make us meet along the road...

(on Brandor's entry):

Here, I have provided you a wonderful choice to introduce your character (I mentioned in my post, that he is there helping Tallian).

(on Tallian):

Come on, Shanda, your post is needed: you can tell us, whetever you want about that incident, or try to keep it secret...

Nork

ahhh! you could have posted that earlier!!! i did not notice that you said Brandor was helping Tallian, man that stinks, nah well the dmg is done.

FYI ArKaineRevived:

Unless you have read previouse posts, you might get confused where i am talking abought the Tavern turning dark. This is just what happens in Norks head when he thinks evil and malice thoughts. Please, what ever you do, dont write the place gets all dark and eerie and Arinnaya begins to glow, that would just be wierd. Plod on as if nothing is happening, or make refrence to how im acting trange, sounding distant, staring into nothingness and what not.

Hope i did it right this way.
The idea is to hear what Arinnaya has to say first before i move on with Nork.
Sorry but i really don't want to be "used" as you're making it look Nork, 'cuz you say you're lying, or did i get that wrong?

Nork

15-02-2006, 03:45 PM

NoNo, spot on, as is the basis of my character to lie. Dont feel you are the only one, Nork sees all characters as an opportunity to be used for his own gain and cleverly deguises it as something highly important and makes the individual feel unique and only they can help.

I would only like to say that the only reason i brought you to one side is because myself and Arinnaya were posting at the very same time, hers got in a little quicker. Thus is why i didnt know that Brandor had handed over bandages and what not.

(to ArKaneRevived):

Plese, I do not get actually, what you want me to do... I will announce the Priestess' plans to visit the Undead encampment, then we can move on to buy supplies, and leave...

(to LegnarStormfist):

Again, you got a good story. A bad thing, we will only go past Dalaran later, after we have visited the Undead at Tarren Mill. I think, it would be the best to assume, thet Dalaran is a neutral city, not interested in the Horde vs Alliance conflict, yet still hostile with its rival, the Undercity... So you can enter the Dome with any character, that is no ally of the Forsaken.

And, another thing: Arinnaya carries a mystical book with her, written by Nagas. you could help decipher its parts (I will tell some hints about its contents, though, to help make a consistent sory)

Nork

15-02-2006, 04:15 PM

I will travel to Dalaran and get Erridan. He could show us a safe path to Northrend, thus giving Erridan a more solid reason to join our 'club' of adveturers. As well as deciphering your book and all, Arinnaya.

We could meet back up at Pyrewood or as you pass by Dalaran itself to Silverpine. Nork needs to get away from Tallian and his prying, questioning nature before he backs Nork into a courner he can not get out of. :-P

haha you can run but you cannot hide!
Thats a good idea, so post now ppl so we can getaway from Southshore.

edit: Arinnaya didnt you read my post? I kinda told you everything and more to that : / you should read it again and edit your post i think.

Arinnaya

(on Tallian's story):

This is rather confusion for me, and I would not expect Arinnaya understand it from bits of information, she did not even hear, nor see, though you made Tallian tell an abbreviated version. Regardless, this is only a 'minor flaw'... I suppose you will make the character's personal story clearer, as we proceed. Same as for Arinnaya: you cannot know, what I planned for her... Some good twists in the storylines...

(on Nork's haste):

Though a truely 'Heroic' try, we should strive not to mix things up, and not to leave eachother far behind... Dalaran is 2 days worth of walking from Southshore, and you are not supposed to meet up with us, if you leave now.

(to everyone):

Prepare as if we go to a battle, stock up all equipments, for Tarren Mill!! Though it will turn out, that we will not fight. This strange twist will have a great significance in the story!!!

I offered my services to join in the fight for Tarren Mill, if you didn't notic, though i don't know if you people are still in the tavern...

Thx in advance.

I'm very interested in RP'ing but am not exceedingly well versed in WOW knowledge. I think I have a pretty good character with a decent backstory. Please let me know if you think there is a place for me here.

Name: Thurgesil
Race: Dwarf
Age: Im not sure how it goes with dwarves, besides, lets just say he doesnt find keeping track very important. Nevertheless, he would be the equivalent of a human 23-26
Class: Palidan

Appearance: white hair (but not on top of head) pulled back into very short ponytail with short white beard. His face is calm, seeming to radiate peace, but the wrinkles around his eyes betray the fact that he doesn't possess that kind of peace. Very trim and fit for a dwarf, garbed in a simple mail which has clearly seen some aging due to exposure to the elements.

Equipment:
Other than the darkened leather bag carried on his back and the 2handed, doubleblade war axe, Thurgesil appears to be unencumbered.

Backstory: (a bit of info and sample of writing)

He separated himself from his father and his brother (Gursulht), at a young age after his mothers mysterious death. While he gave himself to training after the ways of the warriors of light, in stark contrast to the thieving ways of his father and brother, he found himself most athome in solitude in the hills behind Ironforge. He made his home out in that wilderness. He was content there until he came into Ironforge one time later and was given a letter from his brother. He has been less than determined in his training since then and is haunted by the truth of the letter and what it means.
=====
Thurgesil slowed his meandering pace to a halt as he stopped to, once again, wipe the now frozen tears from his face. With all the power he had been entrusted with, he could not change the past. He silently cursed himself for leaving, in keeping with his habitual reminscing of what had brought his life to a mirky haze.

He thought he could stand up to the pains. After all, he told himself again, both his father and brother were thieves and cheats, looking to make a profit from anyone they could. It was better that he left them behind to purse his calling as a servant of light. They would be dead to him, he would go on as if they didn't exist. "I just can't believe they're actually gone", Thurgesil mourned silently to himself.

He hastily brought out the letter, as if seeing it again would provide some relief.

"Thurgy,
I wish you hadn't left. Dad is gone. They took him, I couldn't stop them. Why did you go? We could have held off those foul creatures together. And now I don't know where you are and am so alone.

I've got to go now. There are some trolls here that are hunting these dread things as well. I've got to avenge Dad, with or without you. Please come find me, there is so much I want to tell you about Mom's and Dad's death and what is reallying going on. Please.

Your brother,
Gursulht"

His head began to swim away from its already clouded foundation as he tried to understand it all again. Thurgesil had heard rumors of a darker enemy that threatened both the Alliance and the Horde when he made a rare stop into Ironforge. But he dismissed it as nothing, until the letter came.

"Dwarves and Trolls fighting together? Its madness", Thurgesil tried to convince himself. Yet he knew that Gursulht never lied to family, it was a strange sort of code he had.

"What am I supposed to do" He yelled as he shouted towards the sky. Those on the road leading away from the great dwarven fortress just looked away and hurried on.

Thurgesil fell to his knees and wept again, burying his face in the snow, hoping to lose himself somehow.

"What am I supposed to do?"

He awoke with a start, feeling the sharp pain of near-frosbite from laying in the snow. Quickly shaking off the fresh fallen snow that had covered him, Thurgesil stood to his feet, his thoughs still lost in all that had happened. It was night. And it was time to leave his home behind.

Thoughtlessly picking a direction, Thurgesil walked on through the night with a driving desire to be lost, anywhere but here with his thoughts.

======

I pretty much imagined him wandering in a stuppor until something snapped him out of it. This is where how he would meet up with the others if allowed. Again, let me know if there is a place for me in this tale. Any size role will due, so long as I can be involved. And thanks abunch.

*****

Sorry about posting in the other. I didn't know the protocol. I'm still catching up on all thats happened. Feel free to write me in however. And thanks again

(comment on the above):

A good and solid story, I think. Feel fre to tag along. All you need now, is to wait for an appropriate entry point: take your time, when it fits the bets, then you can enter the story!

A few things you have to know on this RP's rules, in advance:

The worlds is much larger than that in WOW, to make sense. Walking from one town to another may take several days, sometimes even weeks. For example, the way from Hillsbrad to Southshore took a whole day, but you can do this in 2-5 minutes in WOW, etc... You can add places that do not exist in the game, due to its much smaller size.

The characters' relation is not fixed to faction rules, like in the game. You do not have to choose sides, but you are invoked to develop your characters' own diplomatic relationships.

Your character is not restricted to the traditionally allowed ones in WOW. You can deliberately multiclass them, or add additional 'special abilities'. All you have to aware of, is not to make them extensively powerful. (A fighter-mage would neither fight good, or cast good spells, but can do both at an inferior level).

Due to the liberty presented above, you must adhere more strictly to the Warcraft lore, to avoid loosening the grip on the world's image. You can always ask others if you are unsure of some facts of history or lore.
