[OOC] All the king's men.

[Schradinger]

We already have two combat specialists... What happened to being inconspicuous and underestimated?

[Ozymandeus]

I actually have read the night angel books, but I rather agree with schradinger. A little subtlety will go a long way in this RP.

You're missing the point of my character. He is adaptable. I'm not a combat specialist, Solomon is fufilling the roll of the back door man right now. It's the "Shit we have a problem get the fuck out and I'll cover you" role. In an all out fight Solomon is no good. Hence the poisiners blade and throwing knives that require you to throw from a range of being able to reach out and slap the person. These aren't "lets get into a brawl weapons" these are "hey whats up, oh btw check your stomach I put a knife their" weapons. Solomon is a blunt instument that gets brought out when someone screws up and you need to bash someones head in, inorder to make your escape. He doesn't take on six guards and kill them all he fascilitates whoever screwed up escapes by throwing all of his knives at the guards and running like a little bitch so they will chase him, dumps his gear, fades into the crowd and three days later comes back to poisin any one who remembers what he looked like.

If you've ever played the game Thief think of Solomon as Garett's blackjack. You have it, you can use it if you have to and ya sure it works really great if you get the drop on someone but it's terrible in a fight of more than a few seconds and typically you don't lead with it you just use it if you screw up a more finessed approach. whilst our other two combat people function like Garett's bow. It's intended purpose is to kill people and it does that very well without a hell of a lot of risk to the user.

See previous post. Or for that matter read the IC i just posted Solomon explains that he isn't always armed to the teeth.

[Schradinger]

Posted. Apologies for any errors you may find. I had to write it from my phone. >_<

[Themerlinhawk]

Solomon is officially in bed. well in chair i guess but it's all the same really. I look forward to hearing about our job

[Ozymandeus]

Very sorry to keep you guys hanging, some unexpected things came up. Anyway, working on the mission briefing post right now, should be up tonight or early tomorrow at the latest.

[Themerlinhawk]

Sweetness

[Muttonhawk]

Yay! Progress!

[Ozymandeus]

XD yes, it's moving again. A little side note, you do know that Brandy is made from wine right Muttenhawk? It's what you get when you distill the wine leaving only the alcoholic portion left, the more expensive the wine its made from, the more expensive the brandy.

[Muttonhawk]

Yep, hence he thinks it's a waste of wine.

[Ozymandeus]

Hmm, I guess I can see that. In any case, now just to wait until everyone's characters are assembled.

[Schradinger]

That little blurb at the end is all I get for my masterfully crafted stick-poking? I'm disappointed... ;)

[Schradinger]

Just to be clear about the post above this one (as I realized upon reflection how bad it sounds), I'm not actually disappointed. I'm loving the bit of rivalry between Solomon and Cora, and your post was excellent. :)

I think we just hit a spot of bad timing and posted almost simultaneously, so you weren't in the frame of mind to include Cora's entrance in the rest of your post. I apologize if the disappointment remark felt degrading. It wasn't intended that way (sometimes my sarcasm runs away with me if I don't keep it on a short leash).

[Themerlinhawk]

I totally understand and that's exactly what happened so no need for apologies I wield my sarcasm with the subtlety of a two by four upside the head so I'm cool I know you weren't being mean or anything. And the only reason I didn't do a better job with the post is because I was on my way out after that post but I didn't want to let the jabs go unanswered so In the future you can expect something a bit better written in regards to Cora :)

[Ozymandeus]

Well, I'm going to give Merrygold another day or so to post. I sent him a message yesterday or the day before and he has yet to reply. If he doesn't post within that time I'm going to assume that his character died peacefully in his sleep.

[Themerlinhawk]

clever

[Schradinger]

Or left and never came back.

Because he died peacefully in his sleep of "natural causes"...
