@ArenaSnow You assumed correctly, Sir.

Ah, right. Well, nothing is wrong content wise that I can see, but I would like to see a little more detail on particulars... the whole bit on where the magic came from seems to have missed my attention :) Or really, what it is.

I seem to like details too much...

Happy 4th of July for all my fellow Americans in the rp :) celebrate safely!

@ArenaSnow I know where it comes from but its like... Almost unknown to Cyprian, he doesnt know it YET

@ArenaSnow so am I all good you think? I can pm you the details from where Cyp's magic comes

Looks fair enough to me.

@Diabolic If you have ever seen Vampire Hunter D (the latest one was bloodlust), your character(s) remind me of D and the face on his hand. Then his unlikely position as a tailor reminds me of Garek in deep space 9. Haha I really like it actually. So whenever you are ready, copy him into the characters tab and you may join the story. Mind you, we're in the middle of battle, so there's a lot of chaos at the moment. When I get home, I'll put up an update post with the list of active characters and where everyone is in the story.

@IcePezz thanks, ill pm you the details of his magical happenings

Awesomesauce

@IcePezz

I went ahead and just took the image you gave as a reference, and edited it based on your description of the character.

Icepezz will probably do a better job, but to make a very long story very short, all in town was (mostly) calm until a metting at a tavern became a little strained when a magic user blatantly used his healing power, earning a sword pointed at his face. Just when things started to settle down a burning skeleton came about and bumped into the shop. When that skeleton was "killed", all literal hell broke loose when a popular and presently quite active bar went up in flames and every single former occupant came out in the form of burning skeletons spreading fire and their own state upon others. The guards attempt to battle the skeletons with a few heros that had come in; meanwhile, others are trying to take down the demon who is at the root of the issue.

In the background, a demon plans to assassinate the leader of the town.

That's putting it in a very simplified form.

Currently @notdeadyet will be making one more post then stepping out of the rp (hopefully not forever), @GreenHood and @FinnIsh are, let us just say mia? I haven't heard from either of them, so for now the story will continue without them. If they decide to come back, sure. If not, we tried.

I completely understand that people are busy. I'm a beach/pool bum myself and would rather spend my time outside then glued to my computer or phone. I do work, and while work has it's slow times where I can be around, I may not always be able to post. My hobbies include writing, hence why i'm here :) We are a fairly active crew and the story is coming along quite smoothly so far, so if you can't post for whatever reason, don't hesitate to send me a pm. I do try to be fair and patient.

Maria owned a shop in town, not far from the Ugly Mug, called 'Maria's Medicines and Sundries'. When we started our story, Maria had a few patients/customers earlier in the day and then Edict stormed in with Xusin, Tirarrian, and Cassius. Xusin had a wounded hand, badly wounded or not, Edict demanded that Maria fix it. Cassius was badly wounded though stepped to the side and waited his turn, despite his injury being ignored most of the time he was there. With all the commotion and the rudeness directed at her and her shop, Maria snapped. Without any regard for her clients or herself for that matter, she whipped out her spell book and healed Xusin's hand. Edict, having an extreme distrust/dislike for magic, drew his sword to her throat and the situation only escalated from there.

Joseph and Piper were on their way to the docks with their new found friend Jason, who thinks Joseph is a legendary hero named Sir Joffridus, however, after realizing that they've been followed by Isabeau, they've hid in an alley way just near Maria's shop. Isabeau confronted the trio in the alley and things only got stranger from there.

Just as they all started to settle down inside the medical shop, Xusin felt/saw a presence of someone - Aezophyl a demon who was sent here by Zargon. She stormed out of the shop in a fury to confront her fear. In an effort to 'burn off some steam' Aezophyl ... made someone go on fire. In a panic and fright, the burning man ran right into the wall of the healers shop. But he wasn't dead.

Rising back up, the charred, still burning skeleton rose back up and started stumbling, causing everyone on the street to flee and in a matter of minutes, bells of alarm to sound. It clumsily scratched at the shop's door even as it set the said door on fire. Between this and the fleeing Xusin, everyone rushed out of the building. Edict rushed the burning skeleton with his sword then caught up with Xusin. Maria had had it. She was accosted by someone who demanded her services, then left without paying, her door was burned down, there was a strange incident of a burning skeleton outside her shop. She ran out of the shop yelling and chasing them, demanding payment. Aezophyl had made his way into the Ugly Mug, and within minutes, more trouble had brewed, sparking the tavern into flames. As he walked out, Xusin, Edict, Cassius and Tirarrian where there to face him. Following Aezophyl out were tons and tons and tons of burning skeletons, minions set forth to cause more destruction and chaos to the town. Cassius attacked first as he lunged at Aezophyl with a few moves that were unfortunately deflected. Though it did give Edict enough time to launch his attack. Tirarrian had settled somewhere and set up her crossbow with a pouch that Edict had given her. Unfortunately she had become overrun by skeletons, but her shot did go off and was extremely successful as it hit the tavern and had taken out the fire that was burning inside.

Piper, Joseph, Jason and Isabeau left the alley way just in time to see the battle unfold. Isabeau went to save Tirarrian from the flaming skeletons, as did Tobias, who had also just arrived on the scene. Katia, Tobias's adopted daughter was busy chopping up skeletons along with the guards. Both Tobias and Isabeau had told Tirarrian that it wasn't safe for her to set up where she was (in so many words :p) so as we enter the story currently, Joseph had dragged Jason and Piper away from the fighting, Tirarrian went to join them. Isabeau went to help Edict and Cassius and whoeverelse is with them, who are currently engaging Aezophyl.

I am extremely tired from a night of fireworks and entertaining two todlers :p so I hope I got everything right. When posting, please remember to [@mention] all players that you look to interact with in the scene. @The Fated Fallen, I think you missed this in your last two posts. Anyone who has any questions, complaints, comments, please message me. @GreenHood @FinnIsh, if you could please message me and let me know whats going on, that would be great.

A burning skeleton just "bumped" into a shop, and said "heeyo" then everyone got f#c#ed

@IcePezz I know it isnt supposed to be but just reading anything about that burning skeleton makes my sides explode

Roflmao

But no really @ArenaSnow did a great job with team evil so far. I would read the ic posts to get the full effect.

@IcePezz I know it isnt supposed to be but just reading anything about that burning skeleton makes my sides explode

Honestly? It was supposed to be a little like that :P

Can we expect any more spooky and/or scary skeletons in future?

Why not? We could always turn <make up x town to the west> into a newly skeleton exlcusive town :)
