@Hymusia: Not sure. I did break my last post on the old RPG where I did just to give Thaler a chance to react, but I figure you'd need a slight recap now that my post has been dissolved? In any case, in the last paragraph Koraakan told Thaler that the request is OK, but that the one would also be arriving in physical form to retrieve the Black Thorn... Aemoten is still holding her, has drawn his sword, and is holding it ready to defend them both if need be.

(Jack, I understood you actually had a full-length post, rather than just a summary? I personally would like to see the full-length version, too - as compact as the summary is, it also feels like it is cutting out a large portion of things others around would be using to determine what they would do.)

Ah cool I don't remember getting to see that one but thanks for the summary. I can work off that or (depending how much time you've got) you can post. I have to go take care of my mum this morning (I'm her unpaid carer as she can't afford one and is wheel chair bound) but I should be back lunchtime GMT time. :) Gosh I missed you lot.

I can do that. Err, before I do - I half-planned to put all the posts I wrote for the RP before I learned that it had been wiped in the IC-tab of the thread - what do we do with the IC-posts you did manage to save? Chronologically it would make sense to put them in the IC before I put these newest posts there, but for one thing there are a lot of posts there, all unformatted, which would take up a lot of pages in the forum and a lot of time to even try to reformat, and for another the last pages of posts are missing, so it would not leave the IC up-to-date anyways. Should I save putting up the IC-posts for later, somewhere else than in the IC-tab, or should I put them up before I put these most recent posts in there?

@DJ If you want I can go through what you have of the IC posts and reformat them if thats the way you want to go with it? Though I can't help with the latest posts. Also the sites been down all day and I've had a guest this evening so now I'm going to post in our three way tomorrow. Sorry.

I think it would be better to put the old IC posts somewhere else but the beginning of the new IC... Especially since a few posts are missing from in between, too, here and there, and might be filled in later. As for formatting, then I could easily retrieve it - but *not* the BBCode associated with it (in other words: I could easily paste the posts as they were to somewhere which used and allowed pasting direct formatting, but I can't get the BBCode tags for the formatting to carry over, so only plain text could be transmitted directly to the forum). Never mind that tags for all of the formatting used in the old posts haven't even been added to the new RPG yet...
(I think restoring formatting would be easiest to do for me, since I can actually see them in their original formatting / paste rich test where applicable? I tried to copy the pages directly over to rich text editors, but those tended to freeze upon that - it copied over, but then it stalled for several minutes before letting me edit something -, which was why I initially went with plain text as the faster solution.)

- I am preoccupied till Saturday, but from then on I should have plenty of free time. Will be able to throw some quick posts in for the collab meanwhile, though.

Reformatting the old posts isn't really a high priority, I think... in fact it would probably be a pretty low one, as long as we can have them for reference when writing new posts. For now I'll just leave them alone, though, and go ahead and post what I wrote before shit hit the fan with RPGuild.
I was also going to write an entry for a scene with Ixion, but couldn't/decided to wait because I didn't have the latest Ixion-post available for reference... and now that we're pushing to get the characters together (minus Jillian and Gerald (and Salas, if sartorous shows up)) starting a separate encounter for him seems unnecessary. Anyway, that's what I wrote back before Christmas (wow, has it been that long? Merry Christmas and happy New Year, guys!). The text-formats for my character-markers don't work anymore... Maybe I'll make them all like Rilon's so that they'll work more reliably, even on this new site? We'll see.

Ixion's latest post was him fleeing the Church of Reina and stumbling off somewhere into the City - Merc said he can basically be encountered anywhere within the city walls.

And yeah... Happy new year! (Somehow, it never occurred to me that it had been so long that a new year had arrived since we last spoke...)

On another note, Mahz said he wants to add to post length limit, but can't do so easily because of the architecture (might ask him to specify afterwards when I've more time, see whether I can suggest a way to circumvent it). And there would eventually be more formatting options available...

What story arc was Merc aiming for? Because I could possibly meet him :3

Ixion had been afflicted by a tainted tonic that he has and has left the Church of Reina in case the Ducal guards had located the merchant that he killed in his entrance post. At the moment, he's limping through the city.

Happy new year guys! Assuming the site doesn't crash half way through my post again I'll have one in our collab soon.

Edit: Huzzah! Finally the reply is up!!!

Uhh... She's making false presumptions. Koraakan CAN handle the sword (whether she hands it over or it simply gets taken wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference); the one told her that the one's going to assume a physical form to retrieve it since he can only move it when holding it, and cannot just dematerialize it from distance like does with usual offers. Also, Aemoten will freak out and go all oh-damn-you-can't-say-those-things-Rilon-will-hear-and-just-finish-us-off and cover mouth with his free hand or something, so she really won't get any farther from "Your god will -".

I know and I thought I wrote it so it was clear that she's making assumptions but I'll go change it if you prefer.

Edit: Also the surgery I was supposed to be having has been fobbed off again so my posts might be slow and terrible. For which I am sorry.

It was more the long speech she gave that would be interjected before it could really begin - the rest is perfectly fine. Well, granted, I should have reconstructed Koraakan's whole last addressing to her rather than just summarized it... Here I am asking Jack to elaborate on the summary because it omits some of the important details (such as the Yths apparently rather impressive jumping-skills; wouldn't have expected that from something structured like that, so I pretty much imagined it getting the pikemen's shins or something) and not bothering to rewrite a few sentences of my post just so you had something substantial to base your post on. Oeh.

(Thaler sure goes back and forth between standpoints... Indecisiveness/confusion? Guess I can't really blame her...)
Edit: Ouch. *hugs*

Hmm I can't recall if this was the polished version I made from your critiques, Jack. Nevertheless here it is.

She is confused and tired and hungry and fed up and sick and bored and annoyed and upset and frustrated and a whole heap of other things right now that I can't even begin to put into words. Once this whole affair's over and done with I don't think she'll be the same to say the least.

You're right it is kind of hard to write a post based off a god saying 'ok' with no details but I know stuff crops up so it's not a huge problem, I knew there'd be some problems with my improv so I was more than happy to change it. Of course I should have hit copy but there we go the rewrite didn't take as long as I thought.

Sooo. I have no records of I'onriyi's CS and i remember only fragments of it. Like I've entirely forgotten exactly what he looks like, or his exact height/weight.

I still have the name of his staff (and luckily the pic which is uploaded on my deviantart). I remember bits and pieces of his history, his name, his title, and the basic level of his general capabilities (magical, physical, and mental).

Not really sure what to do. I'll probably make a much shorter, truncated/summary, version of his original CS. So yeah *sighs*

It feels as though the crawlers were decidedly skipping over CSs... Thaler's was missing (although the next few pages including Jack's initial comments were there), Ixion's was missing, with a handful pages being present both forward and backward... I briefly looked for I'onriyi's, but that appeared missing, too... Might check the other sources later.

Also posted Aemoten in the collab; Etakar/Koraakan will follow after I've actually had breakfast. Edit: Did Etakar.
