I did what I could without jumping ahead. The bar scene isn't supposed to be mopping, just a fast way for me to show how Jen is characterized.

nice

I will get something together about the struggle to control the stone from the kinder's perspective

by **tRibaL** Mon Jul 30, 2012 1:11 am

Ill move the shapeshifters another step foward in concord, hopefully it doesn't conflict with anybodys plans.. Should be mostly independent.

ok i have posted but i am not sure i am happy with it. Give me a day or so to edit and tweak before you post. If i am not done when you are ready let me know.

Nice post pt.

I'm still narrowing down the directions i want to take with the shapeshifters at the moment so dont worry.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Aug 20, 2012 3:13 pm

ok i think it is where i want it, still not completely happy.

I am having a problem with the next test for Frick. i have combat already i need something else. Thinking test of wills but that should be the last test. maybe a puzzle of some kind since the power of the stone is not so much violent but cerebral. It should be based on an event that happened since the beginning of the story line and use the power of the stone. I am planning 3 tests total, maybe 4.

by **Ptolemy** Tue Oct 02, 2012 2:22 pm

OK so we cannot forget that there was a message sent to the knights and that Lloyd may get that message as well.

Actually i think that it makes sense that Frack will get the message after lifting the box from lloyd. there are also the disks that Frick has. They have been mentioned a couple of times.

i do not know what significance they should have but it is a device that is available as well.

by **Ptolemy** Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:18 pm

TPFTW!!!

ok we need to talk at some point about direction. when the brigade will arrive when the shape shifters will arrive, how to handle the message sent by the mage in the castle.

I am almost done with the second test, i think the ambush at drek'spass

by **Aardvark** Sat Oct 13, 2012 12:05 am

Really the conflict can begin any time you and Xzav feel ready, the Red Temple(in this case the Brigade and Shapeshifters) would be the instigators and while the story would benefit from a deliberate cause for the final escalation, truthfully any assault on those under protection by the Prime Minister in the Triceta would be enough to force the Red Temple and the Concord government in open conflict.

As far as a specific trigger, the brigade getting the information, especially while within theoretical striking distance, would force a conflict based on character. Darius understands why Lloyd did what he did, even agrees Frugal needed to be dethroned, just not by violence; so he'd be willing to put off the mission for something that's actually a threat to the kingdom. Clide likes his position, he likes having power and being respected and what the High Mages are doing threatens his power so he would likewise agree to return. Zara is a good soldier and would default to the judgement of his superiors no matter his feelings. But Laro would object violently, force a conflict right then before he lost his chance and drag the rest of the Brigade into the fight in the process.

Posted a small blurb that can be used to move forward.

by **tRibaL** Sat Nov 10, 2012 5:28 pm

I think my next post is just going to be about snake. so it wont be overly long.

by **Aardvark** Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:11 am

Until this comes up to current events in the real world there's not much I can do. However, next time you do one of the Mage Council meetings Pto, I would appreciate a quick mention of a project Athrun put under way before he died concerning the construction of new ships for the fleet, though not what these new ships can do, a secret he failed to share before his death.

That way there's some foreshadowing to something I would like to bring up in the not too distant future.

by **Ptolemy** Tue Nov 20, 2012 2:12 pm

ok i was thinking of doing something with the council, I need to have something done with the message that was sent. i will see what i can do with it.

by **tRibaL** Sun Feb 10, 2013 8:21 pm

eh, anybody still alive here?

by **Aardvark** Sun Feb 10, 2013 9:32 pm

Yeah, don't know who's turn it is but I really don't have anything I can do, not until Pto finishes up the direction he wants to take the Halflings in.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Feb 11, 2013 1:25 am

there are other stories that could be told. what else do you need from me. the Kinder are at a spot where another could step in. i am not at a dead end by any means but...

by **Aardvark** Mon Feb 11, 2013 2:26 am

I don't really have any side stories I can do, there's about 1 more emo thing I'll put in Lloyd but that's a good way down the road and comes out of an option he'll be given when we bring the Elves in. Other then that you're the one directing Jun, Stock, the Kinder, & Daether I suppose I could do something with Jen or Damean, but I'd have to give it some thought to come up with something. The Brigade is fine for now and all the remaining characters are basically just there as perspectives in their respective arenas.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Feb 11, 2013 2:29 pm

Well crap, I will read back through and come up with something.

I started with a piece to get the message from the castle to Lloyd. There is the reaction of the brigade that you will need to do and i am not sure how Lloyd would react either. I will have something in a couple of days. school and stuff.
