Alright, so the transition to the next day is up! I know it's really short, but that's because up next is Grim. He's going to post the intro he prepared for his character way back when, which will detail how he got to where he is now. After Grim posts, have at it! I'm hoping to, by Sunday, have us actually in the Homestead, so keep that in mind.
Alright, so then, we have to have some discussion everyone!
After Atrophy posts, I'm thinking I will next unless anyone has a post almost ready to go. Spoiler alert below, for those who may need more detail to fill in for the question that will come afterwards:
So in my post I plan on getting everyone to the Homestead, into the arena, and meeting the Chiefs. Quick, yeah, but I'm trying to get everyone new in as soon as possible. After Cyril asks for help, Seryosa blatantly refuses him, so Cyril is going to use some of what he knows by Guratan culture to have the issue decided through combat. The terms will be decided in the post, but before I do that I need to get some OOC information. So, without further ado...
So how many people want to be in the first real combat this roleplay has? It's gonna be Cyril + whoever else wants in, so depending on how much initial response I get will affect how many slots I make available, and I think I'll have it so there can be a buffer in case someone isn't able to immediately get on to respond to this question, but at the same time I don't want to be doing all the fighting myself.
Speaking of, those the group will be fighting against will include both side characters provided by me and new people who will actually join the group, so yay, details! I'll go further into detail in how the fights will be handled closer to them actually happening.
@The Darklight ProjectOh, Vesta loves the arena. Yeah, no hard feelings there whatsoever. Still, she'd probably force Cyril to let her help. And yeah, as for Ennis, eh, he'll cheer from the sidelines and...maybe help people cheat...
Good thing I've been playing plenty of the new Street Fighter to get ready for some combat!
Thank you for the quick responses, whether privately or public! I know how many "slots" I need to make so that everyone can have at least one character in if they so choose, and I can have the two (Cyril + another) that I need in there as well.
Now I need to suddenly come up with multiple side characters for people to whip the asses of...
Okay, so, long post done! Lotta stuff happened in this one, from carrying Dalious along to arriving at the Homestead to seeing a little about Guratan politics. Everyone has a little bit of "free" time as I prepared the rest of the foes the group will be facing during the fight. One important event will be happening that night though, one that we'll get to when it's time.
@The Darklight ProjectIs it too late to get Drosil and Shadar their own fights, as I'm sure they'd both wish for a chance to show their prowess in their respective fields, plus Drosil's ego had been fairly bruised by the paladin and this would definitely help with that.
@RaijinslayerNot too late at all. That's why it's gonna be eight versus eight, so we have some extra room for people who want to come in. I just wanted an initial estimate so I could make a better guess like that, rather that go too few or way too many.
Caught up a bit, and Drosil would definitely be interested in a chance to show off a bit, though he'll be going for non-lethal takedowns unless he absolute must kill. Shadar, if he does show up, will be going to win. If his opponents die because of it, so be it.
So here's the current state of things: For those on the Barcean side, their opponents are going to be made up of two characters who will join the group, and six minor characters that I'm brainstorming up even now. Exactly how the fights will go will be explained later, but I just wanted to make the announcement that I'm doing what I see to be the bare minimum for these extremely minor characters that will be your opponents. Really just enough to be a snapshot, because a lot of them won't be coming back after this fight with like a 99% probability. Do forgive me for that, but I think it's best for everyone if I decide to get these done sooner rather than later.
@RaijinslayerNo, but if death happens, it happens. The general attitude is that if you don't have the sense to surrender when you're beaten, then whatever happens happens. If someone were to be knocked unconscious, however, then finishing them is off limits.
