I will post as necessary, I intend for Arghast to show up at some point but that's all entirely dependent on where the group ends up. I seem to be the only antagonist outside of the bosses right now, and if he ends up fighting anyone I'm going to have to demand a handicap if everyone sticks together.

I'm incapable of comprehending this boss fight idea until I just see it happen.

Would love to have Arghast interact with some NPCs in the meantime, perhaps in the way Leslie just mentioned, but I'm honestly kind of confused how this is going to work. It seems like we will need a few more NPCs available than have already been spelled out, and I don't know if this will entail Leslie as the GM having to control them, or if the respective player could temporarily RP this character in question. In my opinion, some of these story-prominent NPCs may become spread so thin that it will be more of a hassle for the GM to solely RP them than it would be for everyone to just use them as needed. Perhaps you could post small sheets for these NPCs so we may each have an idea of how you intended them to behave when we temporarily assume them in character interaction?

My intention was for the NPC's to just be freely utilised as characters by everyone. It never really occurred to me to really add a specific personality to them; I just figured it would kinda happen. What I might do instead of making a sheet for them is write out a list of all our discovered NPC's in each area and write a synopsis on their role and personality.

The reason why there isn't that many NPC's listed is because we haven't discovered them yet. It'd ruin the surprise if I just listed every possible NPC we'd come across through the rp.

People are free to rp NPC's as they please. The only exception to this is when an NPC offers information, an item or a weapon/armor in exchange for certain valuables found as the roleplay progresses. I'll probably be the one rping that exchange, as they will usually involve a little bit of insight into the current world of the rp that will help us progress.

I would like to apologize for vanishing suddenly >n> Various RL things have been getting busier in the wake of dealing with the Hospital and sucked up more of my time for a while, but it's calmed down, so I'm back suddenly.

I'm also sorry about my absence. The good news is finals are done and I'm cooking up a post as we speak!

I was almost getting worried that there would be abandonment here, though I do prefer smaller groups. Welcome on back!

As long as you're both doing well, that's what's important. Good to have you back with us.

I'm going to make a quick post!

I've also been preoccupied with interstate travel, but I'll post while I have this stop between car trips. Internet is not plentiful in the badlands of the Northwest.

I suppose I'll have a go with the NPC interactions, in that case. Arghast is going backwards of the way a normal player would go through the Burg, starting at the Undead Church. Leslie, I'll let you decide if you'd like an NPC to be there and give me some basics, and I can post again once I get that info. As you said, he has plenty of humanity available if there's information relevant to him.

EDIT: That's just fine, nothing to say they can't show up later. That dinky post is all I have time to write this morning, but I can expand on it later. I sincerely hope you're feeling better soon!

I haven't actually put much thought into what NPC will be at the church. Atm I have whooping cough so I kinda sound like a kazoo whenever I open my mouth for anything, so forgive me for not being in the best mindset to think on it. I'll work harder on it tomorrow.

Apologies that activity has been slow. I still feel awful but i will try and write an ic post that advances us into the burg.

I have a feeling things are going to be picking up soon! In the action front of course.

Its ok Leslie, I've been busy too. Im debating on if I should post now or once the action starts.

I have a post being written on word that kinda starts some action. Nothing spectacular, just some hollows and stuff. It's probably pretty poor quality cause I wrote it while I was still a little under the weather.

I'm gonna try and finish that soon since I believe we really don't have much more to say in terms of introductions. Also I do have an NPC for Aghast to interact with. Consider him to be the Trusty Patches of this roleplay.

EDIT: Actually the other option for you Indian is to just advance through the area towards the Hellkite Drake so you can join in on that boss fight. The NPC can join you if you want. Or you can sit and wait there but I wouldn't want you to miss out on any big fights. If you can be bothered writing it up, you could probably even make your way to the Theophilus boss fight. I'm probably gonna post tonight, since I have to do a few things online for work today.

I made a small post to advance the group but I still have to edit in my part for Indian's character.

I'll have a response sometime in the next few hours (I hope)

I shall be posting tonight as well, glad to see some action. Not exactly sure how to handle this combat, perhaps saying what I hope to accomplish would be wise, rather than saying what occurs myself yes?

I don't think anyone would object to you stating what's happening directly, rather than what you intend to do. I personally don't mind how we handle this. It's nothing fancy, just the first encounter I guess. I probably could have thought of something better but this flu/cough thing is taking it's toll on me :P

Apoligies for the delay. I had a late wedding I had to go to. Will post tomorrow. Finally time for Jolly Cooperation.

Yay! Combat!

Quick question! Are we using the general idea of the game's map as inspiration? such as, that aqueduct at the beginning, which is at the top of some stone steps, which are then at the top of a fairly slim path leading up to those steps, and so on? XD

I'm assuming the Archers would be ontop of that thing, or even on the walls of the keep.

It seems having Arghast stray away from the group was the right choice, I would have been unable to keep up with the rate of posts with what's been going on. I'm finally home, and can post freely.

I'll assume for now that if there is to be an NPC in the church, he/she is not currently present (or even hiding from Arghast). I'm going to take the liberty of having him fight the channeler that stands in the church; it's being there could leave Seathe's status in the RP still up in the air.
