Looking at the IC, there doesn't seem to be that much explicitly stated... Just that the mercenary attempted to circle around Salas while keeping the shield up, and later on that the "wind-speaker" and the large mercenary were still some ways off and the axe-wielding barbarian was headed towards the large mercenary, too. If sartorous/Ink Blood can come up with a good enough explanation as to what happened in between (Salas was injured, has only light weapons and Corbin is large and heavily armored ... being extra cautious there and opting to keep distance in the end wouldn't come off as too odd if Salas' personality permits it, especially with another coming to intercept the mercenary instead), I don't see why he couldn't continue playing the same character if he so desired?

- I am leaving now, but I'll probably have raised most questions in my mind (some of them unrelated to the current situation, but simply very persistent) by some point today evening and posted in the collab by 14:25 tomorrow. (Moving into the realm of oddly specific times here, but I will be leaving around then, and not returning before Sunday evening aside of the occasional check, and I will not be doing much else between returning today evening and that time aside of sleeping.)

Oh I didn't mean that he couldn't use the same character, just that the character would probably have to be reintroduced into the scene since it currently doesn't appear anywhere specific there.

I'll also need Salas' CS reposted... come to think of it, has Jillian's CS been posted on this forum yet? I don't seem to have linked a CS to her entry in the OP (I'm also missing i'on's, by the way).

Quick note from my cell-phone: In case you no longer have Salas' character sheet, then I managed to salvage it from the old forum's ghost after the site's death. Let me know if you need it.

No, no it hasn't. I've been meaning to rework it and then post it, only, you know how things turn out when you make resolutions like that. If I feel particularly inspired, I might go through with the original plan, otherwise I'll put up her old sheet in due time, if you'd like.

I think the to-be-written Koraakan-post most likely would not affect Thaler too much (the One might inform her that the Black Thorn has been obtained and the deal is now in effect, but this is more or less the limit of interaction), so feel free to post Hymusia (would you prefer I started calling you Cthulu?). I would probably try to get the Koraakan-post up tonight, but I daren't make any promises at this point, and I don't wish to hold the collab up, either.

Yo Jack, you asked for the character sheet of mine. So, here you go, it's in fact the reworked version, which pretty much means rewritten from, ground up. For this reason, it's still lacking the history section, and other edits are not out of the question, but I feel I can post it for now, so that you can link to it and read it and stuff.

Also, regarding me posting in the IC: I'm actually not sure what to do regarding posting, as mentioned a page or two ago when you asked me about it. I'd like to avoid an entire post's worth of dreamworldin', preferably combining her delirious ravings with the moment of waking up, but I've no idea when and in what conditions she'll wake. It's kind of awkward roleplaying an unconscious person. :|

Edit: Yeah, the hiders don't work, sorry. Can't do much about that, unless there's something I missed / isn't explained in the QQCode Cheatsheet (which is indeed much worse than BBCode, the formatting on this character sheet is horrible. Can't even color code).

Edit 2: By the way, could I somehow gain access to the old compendium? It's not on the site yet afaik, but I heard that you and Shien have a saved version of it. I'd be happy enough with a PDF or .doc file or whatever you saved it under. Shien's got my Skype in case you or her wants to send me a file.

Your hider is lacking a title - hiders don't work without. Just change the contents of the opening tag to hider=Jillian Veldaine or something else to your preference.
[hider]I don't have a title[/hider]

(By the way - it is not the lack of options that makes QQCode bad. It is the code behind it. Lack of options is just laziness.)

As for the Compendium - sure? .txt, .rtf, .odt, .pdf, whatever you prefer, I can easily send it over Skype. This forum has ridiculously small max character count (...I have out-typed it while posting already), so it would amount to quite a few posts over here.

Thanks Shien. I tried it with a title in a private discussion with myself (that I used as a temporary preview feature which currently does not exist on the site >_O) and for some reason, it wouldn't work with a title there either. That's what threw me off. As for the code, yeah, lack of options is laziness, but it nonetheless is the bigger pain in the butt for end users like me who would like to, say, add colors and other formatting to their posts.

I'll give you a nudge on Skype concerning the compendium.

Very nice, Ashgan, although now I can't help but to wonder how Jillian came to learn this Orphid's spell... which is furthermore a compound spell, which makes it all the more impressive. I've added the link to the OP.

And yeah, I know - and mentioned earlier, I think - that it's not easy or even productive to play as an unconscious character, and I was actually working on a post to advance events on that side of the story some more and end on a time-wise loosely defined point that I hoped would allow Jillian to wake up and rejoin the world of the living, but then sartorous found the RP and requested permission to rejoin it... and since his character was in the same scene as Jillian and Gerald and is thus affected by the same progression of time, I can't move ahead significant periods of time without knowing what his character is doing.
...We haven't heard from him since he announced his return, though, and it's been almost a week already, despite my asking for him to make his continued presence known. If this is the kind of interest we can expect, I may not be willing to continue to wait for him for much longer. So once again, sartorous/Ink: show us that you are actually interested in the RP enough to at least check the OOC thread regularly after trying to return to it.

Everyone else, please don't contact him directly and urge him to check this thread or anything. I want to test his actual dedication to the RP, and if it is truly this lacking, he may not be welcome anymore.

Erm... Thaler herself is still only wearing Aemoten's coat and absolutely nothing more. She never even noticed that clothes had been brought in for her...

Have to agree on playing unconscious characters, seeing how in real life, unconsciousness means that their brains do not work properly enough for them to be able to dream, even if they can stop being unconscious at some point and go over to sleeping instead (sleeping people are not unconscious, contrary to popular belief). ...Which brings me to a question I might have slightly brushed against at a point not long ago, but never actually phrased in this manner: what does happen with unconsious people in the Prophecy world? It has been stated that they are in Spirit Realm ... I would sort of expect them to be unconscious there, too, and only passively absorb the ambient magical energy.

You're just about right about that, Shien; unconscious creatures do move their souls to the Spirit Realm while asleep, only in this case they are indeed unconscious, and thus don't dream but merely soak in the abundant energy of the Plane. There is another difference, though: since the creature would be unconscious, meaning that not even its subconscious mind would be active to form a dream, the creature would not be in a dream in the Spirit Realm. Instead they would go to the part of the Spirit Realm referred to as the Psyche, which has other rules applying to it than the dreams... such as other creatures being able to go there through the raw Spirit Realm and, as discussed in our recent PMs, unlike in a dream, if one dies in the Psyche one dies in Reniam as well. So in addition to the purely medical dangers of unconsciousness, one can also be killed in the Spirit Realm in the Planes.

It's quite all right... although if she feels bad now, I wonder what you would call what she was feeling before Shien's most recent post.

@DJ Currently I can't find a word that adequately suits her mood. She felt 'bad' before but not bad. Depressed, useless, frustrated, suicidal, waste of space, miserable, worthless, obsolete, cursed, disgusting, problematic, etc, are all more symptoms than the true feeling right in her gut right now. While it's such a small and simple word bad seems the only adequate way to sum things up. She truly honestly sees herself worse than demonspawn right now and from the bottom of her heart she doesn't see why it would bother any of them to see her the way she is. Aren't the wicked supposed to be punished? Is her current viewpoint.

Ah, thank you yoshua; I've added a link to the OP for easy access to this. We're just about back to full capacity when it comes to the CSs... now we just need some way to make the Compendium accessible again.

I think it's by now safe to say that sartorous wasn't all that interested in this RP, considering how long it's been. I'll leave his character in the OP for a little longer, but I don't think I'll wait much longer before I write a post that advances events for Jillian/Gerald; the RP can't wait forever.
Speaking of which, any estimation as to when one could expect a new post for the Zerul-team, Merc? Rhaevnn?
