[OOC] Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

[spicykvnt]

Hey friends,

I'm taking a vacation tonight and will be on holiday for 11 days :) I'm leaving for a long haul flight (28hr) soon, I hope to get an Aeryn post done this weekend but I'll properly assess when the time comes if I'm too jetlagged. I'll keep you updated, anyway!

If I don't get a post in, then I'll simply be skipping this round and jumping in for the next one.

See you on the flippity flip!

@Stormflyx

Oh my god, your wings'll be so tired by the end of that!

@Stormflyx

Hopefully everything goes alright with your flight Storm, have a good time time during your holiday!

@Mortarion

Two things:

1) I've just noticed you joined the site ten days after I did, so now I can make jokes like "Geez Mortarion, that looks like a post I would do back when I was your web-age."

2) I'm not really in a position to prod you to post, but I think alot of us are waiting for your characters next interaction. I don't want to push you, but do you know when your post is going to be up? Thanks, I know we're all busy

@The Fated Fallen

Huh, talk abotu coincidences, and yeah, I suppose you could do that lol. And I already got in mind an idea for what my psot will be about, I just have some things I need to wrap up and I'll get the post up asap.

@Mortarion

Awesome, I'm glad you didn't take that badly, as you've noticed it totally wasn't my intention to be rude. It's great to have you on board

[Mortarion]

And my post is done, Nicademus continues to being mistrustful of the group but he is willing to give them a chance. Hopefully the post is good and up to the standards of the RP.

[Fetzen]

From my humble perspective you're doing excellent @Mortarion

Btw.: If each of our characters will be accompanied by a single guard it will be all the more easier to take out the guards. *pleasedonttakemeseriously*

[Mortarion]

@Fetzen Thanks man, glad to hear that I'm doing well in terms of the quality of my posts! I'm a little bit nervous since, well, still kinda getting into the RP proper so its a relief to hear that my posts have been good.

And who's to say that you wouldn't just be doing exactly what Nicademus fears if you take out the guards?

[Gardevoiran]

@Mortarion
If my input matters, you're doing great for getting into the RP Proper. Let's just hope Ursaren's stories of wisdom can convince Nicademus to join the party for sure.

_{^{you might want at least 3 guards escorting ursaren because he's quite the bear of a man if i do say so myself}}

[Mortarion]

@Gardevoiran Thanks for the kind words, glad to hear I'm doing well in getting Nicademus into the RP proper. As to what will happen in regards to Nicademus joining the party, I'm sure we'll see what happens about that soon!

^{And I might just take into account what you said about Ursaren and have Nicademus send him a 3 person escort, just to be sure}

[Fetzen]

So this is what could happen....
_{Absolutely no cliché in here!}

Ursaren

He is suddenly seen striding through the village in full bear form and with amazed and laughing children taking a ride on his back.

"If only my three supervisors would have taken a similarly relaxed approach to the new situation! I feel really sorry that I had to kill them in order to defend myself!

Argon

The three guards assigned to him are trying to introduce themselves...

"I'm tired and not much into remembering complicated names right now. So I'll just call you 'Breakfast', 'Lunch' and 'Dinner'!"

Geradin

"Oi! Take care of yer feet, will ya ? I'm not as tall as you but that doesn't mean that you can feel free to stumble upon me three times an h...

*sudden impact* Ayyyeeeee!

*sound of skull cracking on the ground that would still have been a soft and harmless spot of muddy earth if it had not been for the groups combined effort to pave the village's roads*

"Oh noes... I told ya!"

Settionne

The guard that has been assigned to escort the seemingly harmless and inconsiderate priest is seen walking along the small marketplace -- alone. The only thing that is still accompanying the poor man are his underpants and his shirt. The armor and his sword are gone.

"What are you staring at me folks ? That small man and his advices are amazing! I feel so much better without that old rustbucket of an armor weighing me down and making me sweat. Also he said that I should buy some new clothes because the old ones look bad so here I am.

The guard reaches into his pocket, trying to retrieve his money pouch.

"What... ? Where... ?!"

Beren

The warrior monk is asked why there's noone accompanying him anymore.

"See all those soldiers standing at every corner ? I think they've given up on actually following me. Instead they have started to spread themselves everywhere so there's no place left I could suddenly disappear from or appear out of seemingly nowhere! I'm just too fast!"

Aeryn

"I told you to have an eye on her, not to put her in chains and tie her to the next wooden pole!"
"What ? You... you honestly expect your subordinates to deal with something as hideous, stinky, violent and treacherous as a Dorcha ?!"
"What the hell did you expect a guard's job to be in this jungle of a southlandic forest ? You're fired!"
"Great! I was starting to lose interest in the job anyway!"

An-Hasst

The Skayleigh is seen standing in the trench beneath the bridge leading into the village. Next to him is one of the spiked wooden poles that indeed have also been placed beneath the bridge, and on that pole is resting a guard in his death throes.

"I told you that I'm way too big for that bridge to support both of us standing next to each other, but you wouldn't listen and thereby have almost killed me! Even worse: Now I've to do even more work! Thanks for nothing, really! ..."

(An-Hasst raves on until even he is certain that the guard has discontinued listening, then angrily crawls out of the trench)

Alice

She and her guard can be seen sitting on a small bench at the wayside. Both of them seem almost completely relaxed.

"Ahhh... I'm so glad I've been assigned to you! Look at all my poor colleagues and their desperate efforts. There's nothing I need to be afraid of with you, is there ?"

[Gardevoiran]

@Fetzen
The thing is, you're near spot-on with Ursaren. He'd go bear form just to be a friend to kids.

Edit: That's not sad.

[The Fated Fallen]

@Mortarion

a) Once again, great post!

b) In my post, which is basically done now, I was going to have Alice ask your characters name. Can I just go on the assumption he'd give it so we can progress faster, or would you rather leave that to another post of yours?

[Mortarion]

@The Fated Fallen Yeah, it's fine to go on the assumption that Nicademus would give his name to the party, don't worry about it. Glad you liked the post!

[The Fated Fallen]

So, to summarise where my post is, I was super busy yesterday and had a bad day today. Roll on tomorrow!

[spicykvnt]

A wee short one from me this time :) bit dialogue-y though which is a different one for me!

Hope you're all having a nice week so far!

[Mortarion]

Ohhh boy, Aeryn definitively hit a nerve with her own little diatribe. I kinda wanna post again since Nicademus wouldn't take that quietly.

[Fetzen]

@Mortarion I'm not here to hold you back in any way. I don't know how the others see it, but from my side I say if you want to do it then it's perfectly okay for me. An-Hasst probably will react to his words as well, but if the scene should be over until I have posted (probably upcoming weekend) I can simply let him approach Nicademus otherwise _{and let him lift the poor guy with one arm and shout at him just to notice that there's a sword that could simply cut his arm off.}

[spicykvnt]

Ohhh boy, Aeryn definitively hit a nerve with her own little diatribe. I kinda wanna post again since Nicademus wouldn't take that quietly.

@Mortarion

That was her trying to soothe the situation and pay back her pals for saving her life hehe. She is definitely not very good at soothing anything though. Excited to see what Nicademus's response is. I'm so hoping it's not good teeheehee.

She's trying her best to help, promise!
