[OOC] Blood Debt (Medieval/Fantasy, Rangers)

[AirBender]

The problem is that I don't know what to post anymore. I had plans before I got left behind, but because the other characters are so far ahead I can't do any of that stuff anymore.

@AirBenderI understand. We just might have moved a bit too fast, but I hope you stay. I'm fairly sure after this initial skirmish there will be more RP oriented posts, since we'll need to bury Brand, perhaps in one of his glades. For now we (me too, since I felt like I had a small bit more to do in the tavern) just need to be a lil flexible. RP's are all about how our characters interact to situations they might not expect. Don't mistake me though, you seem like an experienced writer (love your posts) so don't think I'm trying to talk to you like a noob . I'm just saying I'm sure we'll have our interaction time in a bit.
I'm sure the GM also knows to be a little bit more patient as well. (I'm an action junkie though, glad there's some fights coming up. Nice). @HeySeuss

Excellent post, Flagg. Very well written.

@Gunther

thanks!

[Naril]

Mm. And here I am, stuck between what I know my character would do versus what I'm very sure where the story is supposed to go. I'll try to decide during yoga this evening, I suppose. :3

[POOHEAD189]

@Naril
My guess is, story wise you should stay and fight and character wise you'd slip off into the night? :3

[Naril]

@POOHEAD189 - Mm, not really. Kiera's an outsider, even to her family, but she won't abandon them. She will very likely look for other solutions - from her point of view, barricading the tavern is not a great plan. From the point of view of the woman writing her, I need to reconcile that with the fact that everyone else wants to stand and fight. Depending on how much time I really want to devote to untangling that, it might not even be a question, though. The story is larger than my momentary hang-ups.

Edit: Oh! @Flagg, have you read Joe Abercrombie's "First Law" books? :3

[AirBender]

@POOHEAD189 I'm hopefully not going anywhere. It's just gonna be a matter of forcing out a post I may not be happy with. Unfortunately Wednesdays are my busiest days, so I can't get started on anything until later.

It means a lot to me that you like my posts. I'm trying to go professional with writing, be a novelist specifically, so knowing that people like my stuff gives me a little confidence boost. :)

@AirBender

I'm an aspiring author as well. I know the feeling^^

[Naril]

O...kay. I think I have a plan. Um. I know @HeySeuss is being very relaxed with what he's letting us do and how we push on the narrative, but I suppose I really need to ask - y'all have already killed three people. While I'm not really in the mood to write a lot of violence right now, what I've got slowly assembling in the back of my head can push the plot forward or set up some more action.

So I suppose what I'm asking is: Do you guys want me to move the plot along (in a way that hopefully our GM doesn't mind), or set up for a Western-style saloon siege? I rather feel we've covered the "yelling at bar patrons and preparing," at this point.

[R31GN]

I'm down for some good old fashioned plot advancement. Fighting goons is fun and all, but really just kinda gets tedious.

[HeySeuss]

I think that rangers and sieges should be mutually exclusive and that any fight should involve violence of action in order to create an opportunity to get out of there. Otherwise, sitting ducks.

@Flagg

Solid fuckin' post. Keep them coming like that, I love what you're doing to flesh out Bloody Harold. You're a co-GM as of this moment.

@Gunther @NickTrano @Flagg @R31GN @POOHEAD189 @AirBender @Naril

[NickTrano]

I figured we were going to fight our way out. Just want to break the first wave before then. And Naril, do what your character would do. That's the nature of RP, after all.

EDIT: Also, nice name drop, Gunther. Even italicized the shit out of it. YEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

@HeySeuss

Very nice of you to say, and thanks for letting me take liberties with our poor misunderstood monarch.

[POOHEAD189]

I love writing character development scenes, but realistic and fast paced action scenes I won't shy from either.

@Naril

Move the plot along. Though keep in mind the siblings are/will be running upstairs for ranged attacks soon too. Masef might be there already

[AirBender]

I'm not happy with it, at all, and forgot to tag everyone. But I have posted. I put Ashira in a much more useful spot than the roof.

[Naril]

I'll have a post up later tonight - I'm just about done, but there's some dialogue and a rough-and-ready editing pass I need to finish. I'm on my way to a show right now though, so...that's probably not happening between Somewhere That's Green and Feed Me. :3

[NickTrano]

Finished the CS for Knights of Melarus, so I'm good to write whenever you're done posting, Naril.

[Naril]

There we go. Thanks for your patience. :3
