With the majority of my vitally important GM groundwork done for the RP I am launching, I will be back to this in the coming days. Been missing writing with Lana....

@Sundered Echo Good to hear. Considering we will likely be starting the next round of posts tomorrow now is the best to return.

There we go, part one up. That covers everything from Lana's arrival, to the day right before the negotiations themselves begin.

we'll have to go read that soonish then.

posting up an OoC later today... can barely wait to have it out.

@PhoenixWhite Great post. Defiantly worth the wait.

And with that the next round of posts has started. As I mentioned before I want to speed up the speed of rounds considering it is now taking months for us to finished a round. I would like us to aim for around 3 weeks as a maximum for rounds if that is OK with everyone?

I will be doing two posts next round, one will be centered around Duncan and another High council meeting, the other will be a collab with @Hygswitch . Having said that she hasn't been on the site for over two weeks now and I am starting to get a bit worried that she has disappeared on us. I will give her another two weeks to respond. If she doesn't I will continue the collab on my own and make Ramfrey a NPC. Hopefully she will return before then.

@Ellri As I mentioned before I did have a way on introducing Urd into the story but I was waiting on a response from @MacabreFox. However Fox has not responded for nearly a month and I fear she may no longer be active on the RP guild (last activity on the guild was over a week ago). As such I will send you plot points involving Aurelia that could get Urd involved in the story. Considering the plot points will have a major effect on Aurelia's story I hope in the event that Fox may return she will understand.

@Sundered Echo@PhoenixWhite I imagine you two will be continuing your Collab?

@Klomster I have been talking to @AndrewCooper and he is interested in doing a collab with you regarding the hostage exchange. I imagine you could start the collab with Claus wandering around Clarm and receiving a message from Patrick De Reimer about the hostage exchange (I will send the letter to you via PM).

@ZB1996 Did you have any plans of how to introduce Lycaon?

@TheDuncanMorgan

Indeed, there will be a continuation of my last post made with the cintinued collaboration between Echo and myself.

If time or inspiration strikes me I may try to initiate something else, or to hash out some ideas of mine, but the focus is the collab.

Indeed, we shall continue.

I am curious about what will happen to Aurelia though - Lana's plans hinged around her in several ways and in order to keep her going when she gets back from Alenius she needs something to happen to let her remove Aurelia from her plans...

I heard you were recruiting... Too late?

@Brithwyr Not too late at all. Considering we recently lost a member (and potential another one) you are more than welcome to join. Did you have any ideas for your character?

Did you want me to send you a plot summary?

I'm thinking some sort of religious order, or a heresiarch skilled at demagoguery. Something along the lines of the Yellow Turbans

Yes please

@Brithwyr Well that could work in quite well with @ZB1996's character. Send me a PM once you have finished the character sheet.

considering that there's several characters who are very pro-mage rights, it would be very nice for intrigue to have someone come in to take the other view. Someone who seeks to make life harder for mages.

@Ellri Agreed. Considering the Church is rather anti magic (or at least supports the oppression of mages) I imagine @Brithwyr or @ZB1996 could take on that role should they wish to.

Holy shit that was a long post.

Loads of interesting content, but still.
Makes me feel i won't be able to keep up the standard... nah, i'll do fine.

I just keep imagining how a meeting between Lana and Claus would end up. Lana would be so confused and/or disgusted with Claus. :P

Now it seems the PM from our esteemed GM has arrived as well.
Yikes, i need to shower. And a friend is visiting...
I'll read it later, this RP can wait for a while. It waits much more on a regular basis.
I'm rambling again.

(P.S. Of course i read it right away. Far too curious to not to.)

@Klomster

Trust me, this is a LONG collaboration due to the nature of the meeting andthe relationship of Drevala and Lana. Your post lengths are not to be questioned, mate.

@Klomster Indeed. As long as you have the detail in your posts then that is all that is needed. Afterall my own posts are not always, all that long either.

@PhoenixWhite @Sundered Echo I just finished reading your collab and it truly was amazing. And to think there is still another part to go :p. I particularly liked how you explored the relationship between Lanaya and Drevala in such detail. I also liked hearing about Lanaya's and Eli's opinions on the Manshrew and De Reimer families as it is a perspective we haven't really seen yet. Also your doing a good job for making me feel bad about the whole assassination attempt. Poor Naomi :/ .

@TheDuncanMorgan

You only tried to kill a family whose only vulnerability was a harmless naive girl-

Jokes aside, do try and lessen your guilt, Naomi is now my favorite Blackwell. She was rather dry to me before, as I am a glutton for drama and turmoil, and now I have GREAT plans for the girl.

@TheDuncanMorgan I had always planned for Lycaon to appear in court after a long absence, to explain why he has not appeared even though he was supposed to have been there in background for the whole time, though I am still reading and still thinking things through.

@ZB1996 Very well. In which case would you like to do a collab? (If so we may want to start it sooner rather than later)

@TheDuncanMorgan PM me and we can start it.
