The Prophecy

I can get something up tonight, tomorrow night at the latest... Unless someone feels the need to go first.

The Prophecy

'And it begins.' Morgan thought, readying himself mentally for the private meeting. A side glance was given to Ixion, when the red hooded assassin had confirmed the impromptu meeting with the sisters. The sniffer didn't consider himself a team player - hadn't been since he was with the Seculyrian army, and even then, it wasn't as if he had a say in the matter. Even so, the claim on leadership hadn't gone unnoticed. Strangely, Morgan was satisfied with the choice, albeit temporary at best. 'Between the penin and the assassin, the hood seems stronger, if not more experienced.' Granted, Morgan was biased towards the one that wasn't connected to the law, but...

Morgan felt an extreme sharp pain to the temple, his knees slightly buckling as the twisted sister gave off an incredible magical power spike. Normally, the sniffer would have been able to retract his talents inward, given enough warning. But the sheer display of magical energy caused his mind's eye to see stars. A gloved hand pinched his furrowed brow as Morgan steadied himself with his staff. Also, due to the sudden and painful infliction, an animalistic response was the only natural instinct that Morgan could manage, causing him to issue a sharp hiss, recoiling from the pain that wracked his head. Hateful, masked eyes whipped to the twisted sister, who was more than likely not paying attention to the one that had said less than five words since the party had arrived to the inn.

'Such power!' The vampire thought fearfully as he slowly recovered with the calming words of the blue haired deo'lei. 'These two - I've never seen anything like it...' Any uneasiness or dislike that Morgan had felt from the beginning of their interaction had now transformed into complete distrust and severe hate towards these two sisters. To be forced into a confined space? With those two? Especially when their hushed words mentioned something about not destroying the city?!. The penin began to lead them towards the private meeting, but everything inside Morgan screamed that this would be the end of them. The vampire wouldn't be forced into a trap; he wouldn't just go along with something that was supposedly set in stone at this point, no matter how badly his faith to The Wanderer demanded that he ferry the heretic called Death to his master's waiting arms. The alarms in his head only increased in volume as the penin passed by his companions, and the energy of magical weaving was issued from his hand. What I'onriyi meant as a signal for caution, Morgan interpreted it as the last straw. If one of his companions was already nervous.

"No - no meeting. We answered your questions... I think we're through here."

Morgan's words would be quiet, but behind the emotionless tone, there would be a menacing strength. Morgan had already received enough attention for today, from the law, from these sisters. Enough was enough.

The Prophecy

Anyone else has something to add in the Drunken Dove-scene before the transition to the sisters' room?

@Dark Jack

Will be posting within the hour!

*EDIT*

Aaand posted. I know this is probably going to create a delay, but uh. Yeah. Morgan's feeling nervous, to say the least, heh.

Arena Chat Thread

<Snipped quote by Rhaevnn Xeno>

It is in the arena FAQ. Basically it is normal human, powered (which encompasses a broad spectrum-fighters haggle powers to roughly even themselves out) and god-like.

@Skallagrim

Again, many thanks!

<Snipped quote by Skallagrim>

I usually just stick to the lower end really of powered though my only arena fighter is human, not counting Jacer who is in the multiverse thread right now. I'm just slowly fleshing out his world bit by as I wait for that to get fleshed out and started.

@Fallenreaper

I'm assuming that it's a good rule of thumb to be on the lower end of this spectrum then?

Arena Chat Thread

Here's a list:
1. Look at the detailed Arena CS, a few good ones would be the vets. They already know what they are doing and have a good grasp of what should be required. Rilla, Skallagrim, MelonHead, Yoshua171, and a few others are considered vets or at least good examples.
2. If you're wanting to join the points race, jiggle the ranking headquarters, if not don't worry about it.
3. Grab a partner, and if you're not use to this style of competitive rping, I suggest requesting a vet to over view the match and possible help you learn. Though not sure how many will be able to help you as there is a tourney going on.
4. A good transgression from pure rp style might be found in the multiverse which will likely pick up over time when the tourney is over.

@Fallenreaper

Many thanks! Another question however - I've noticed there's a scaling system going, in particular, how a character's "power level" is determined. I've poked around and haven't really found any given scale. Any chance I'm over looking it?

Arena Chat Thread

Ello all,
Jus a quick question for someone who hasn't really been involved with such a style of RP: how does one join the fray?

The Prophecy

Rhaevnn, do you want to post before I advance things in that scene?

@Dark Jack

I think I'll have more to post if you go ahead, Jack.

The Prophecy

Who's next on Zerul-side? Yoshua (given he maybe wanted to post before)? Rhaevnn (as the vampire hasn't had a say for a while)? Mercinus (as his character was the one most obviously addressed)?

@Shienvien

It is in Morgan's character not to say much, even though he does think quite a lot. ;) However, I won't be posting 'til after Merc, as Morgan won't react to what he would consider Ixion's choice (though he will have to say something if Ixion avoids conversation behind closed doors, regardless of his hate for 'the law').

The Prophecy

The deo'lei's information had actually knocked Morgan off balance. While none around him would be able to see it, due to his mask, the vampire's mouth hung open slightly as his eyes widened in surprise. 'How could I have not known? I have hunted demonspawn in the past, as well as deo'lei, but...' He would silently curse himself for the lack of knowledge he possessed about the world outside the Securlyian army as the conversation continued onward. Morgan had never been much of a scholar, even when he wasn't a sniffer. However, these past few months had been a brand new experience to him all together. 'Freedom has a price, and it seems that knowledge in all forms is its currency.' The sniffer thought irritably, refocusing his thoughts on the situation at hand.

Something she had said, however -- the blue haired one. 'If she and her sister are the heralds of pain, than this "Death" is the herald of The Wanderer...' Morgan slowly blinked under his mask, steadying himself. If this was true, he would be lacking purpose. After all, if this demonspawn they were hunting was the true hand of Death, instead of himself, all those lives the sniffer had taken, the reason why he became cursed as a vampire, the why he had suffered for so long and the comfort he found when discovering himself... Thrainsson's face hardened at the thought that someone was posing as the hand of death -- as him. His inner turmoil, however, was interrupted by Ixion's question: "When you say disguise his presence, do you mean his presence as a demonspawn or mask his magical presence?”

The beginnings of a grim smile started to pull on the corners of Morgan's mouth as he realized what Ixion was asking. Truth be told, the sniffer would hate every moment of being even near the deo'lei. By all the gods, he would even kill both of the filthy members of the law if given the chance. However, there was now a bigger problem to deal with: the one called "Death."

The Prophecy

Eh, would you like me to wait for you before posting for the deo'iel, Rhaevnn?

Also, Ashgan?

@Dark Jack

Gah! My deepest apologies - wrapping up my internship has been much more time consuming that expected. However, today was my last day, so expect a post either today or tomorrow at the latest.

However, if you feel the need, go ahead and post, Jack.

*Edit*
Post is up! Lemme know if you have questions or want me to fix something.
