TRIPLE post... -.-

I was going to have Stock, kelgori, damean and frack in the initial fight. Frack gets hurt, maybe fatally not sure. Stock Parkur up a building to get a better shot/view. Frick may show up.

BTW

The dark magic stone that Frick acquires is not a dragoon or even a shard. It is an imitation and no where near as powerful. just provides a level of focus.

I've added all the Bios to the first post in this thread for easy reference, though I'd like to go a step further and have you guys put an alignment for unknown scenarios. Here's a test: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20001222b Answer as you feel your character would react and put an alignment. Or if you know enough about D&D alignments then just list it and don't bother with the quiz.

[20:21] JvS-Ptolemy: OK so i have the rough first fight and i am up to 8 pages...
[20:24] JvS-Ptolemy: i an going to have Deathr intersect the group. At the end of the fight i have Frack down Kelgori down and the only one that knows the attacks are red temple orcistrated is Frack and he is down
[20:25] JvS-Ptolemy: Lloyd and Cho do not know, Frick knows but is not in the area and Deathr will be in Concord in this post.
[20:25] JvS-Ptolemy: I will post this on the forum as well

who is still up may i ask? or were they ambushed. andthen what happens to them?

by **Ptolemy** Fri Mar 30, 2012 2:34 am

right now i am working the first fight, the fight is complete as in i know what the result is. and a couple of other items that are going to be wrapped up. I need to flesh out the combat and get some other PoVs

I should have a post up tomorrow.

by **Aardvark** Fri Mar 30, 2012 3:50 am

I'll have a post soon after Pto, just a little bit of training. I was considering doing the Shapeshifters but I need to know more about their personalities before I can use them and the alignments seriously help with that.

by **tRibaL** Sat Mar 31, 2012 12:53 am

needle is lawful good, and i think snake was neutral good.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Apr 02, 2012 5:12 am

OK so the fight is done (7 edited pages). I still need to clean up a couple of loose ends. should only add 2 or 3 pages to the total.

-.-

by **Aardvark** Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:21 am

K, part 1 of training is ready, I think I will mess with the shapeshifters to give the post some more length and so they won't be posted less than an hour apart.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Apr 02, 2012 9:58 pm

Thought i posted to the wrong story...

Posted. Let me know what you think, I didn't get as much of the elf in as i wanted but thats ok.

by **tRibaL** Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:31 pm

nice post ptomely!

by **Aardvark** Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:40 pm

Good post, part of Demean's segment of the fight you refer to him as Stock instead while he's using ice magic, otherwise well put together. I'll have the training and most of the shapeshifters done by midnight. The last part of the shapeshifters though would take place around the time Lloyd finishes his training so I'll save that for part 2.

by **tRibaL** Tue Apr 03, 2012 12:01 am

yeah i was confused about that too, but assumed you meant damean. so after aard posts ill move teh shapeshifters farther foward.

by **Ptolemy** Tue Apr 03, 2012 2:02 am

thought i caught all of those.

I fixed it

My next post will advance the elf as well if he is not by someone else.

by **Aardvark** Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:20 am

I'm not sure where you're going with him, but I look forward to seeing it.

Xzav I'm going to be putting them on a boat at the end of this, do you want to take over from there or do you want me to involve them with the High Priest first?

EDIT: Posted, it will seem rushed in many places because I don't have much of a mental picture for the shapeshifters.

by **tRibaL** Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:27 pm

involving them with the high priest wouldnt hurt, you know im terrible with dialogue lol Razz

by **Aardvark** Sun Apr 08, 2012 5:10 am

Hey what's the priest's name Xzav I'd like to introduce it or hell just have it for introspection.

by **Aardvark** Sun Apr 08, 2012 8:38 pm

[14:36] Xzav: diddnt come up with a name yet
[14:37] Xzav: thinking i might want to include luxus into the name
[14:37] Xzav: something like luxithan or somthing
[14:37] Xzav: thoughts on that?

If you want to do something like that I'd suggest just having his last name be Luxus and make up something else for the first name.

On a side note I think I'm going to add some notes on things in the first post, such as how Lenus' government works.

by **tRibaL** Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:27 pm

thats fine as for first post.

and yeah make luxus the guys last name. first name is up to you aard.

by **Aardvark** Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:31 pm

I'll try to keep the same structure as Kelgori's name.

by **tRibaL** Sun Apr 08, 2012 9:33 pm

thats what i was thinking

by **Aardvark** Mon Apr 09, 2012 3:37 am

Got everything I can done before Pto posts, the flashback in the middle is looooooooooooooooong so this may end up being 10 or more pages.

by **Ptolemy** Mon Apr 09, 2012 1:45 pm

it will be a week or so before i will have time to get something posted.

by **Aardvark** Mon Apr 09, 2012 5:34 pm

Not a problem, I got a book I should get to reading anyway.

by **Aardvark** Tue Apr 10, 2012 2:07 am

I put down information for Lenus, Arid, Concord, and the Lost Isle. Shattered Hand will be introduced after we get done with Concord so I'm not gonna add anything on them. Since this is supposed to be all of us I'm going to leave the details of Darlar for Xzav to decide and since Pto has taken over Sundered Isle and is good with Daethr I'll let him hand that.

The categories I'd like filled are:
1. Terrain(The lay of the land for that nation)
2. Society(How the government is structured, how the people get jobs, if there are slaves, etc)
3. Military(Who orders them, how they're divided up, what kind of military tech they use, etc)
4. Economy(How do they trade goods and what kind of currency they use)
5. Population(What species live there and how numerous they are)
6. Level of Advancement(What tech do they use, what magic do they use, and how they compare[the overall ordering in over advancement is Concord as most advanced, followed by Sundered Island, Shattered Hand, Lenus, Darlar, and Arid)
7. History of Conflict(How have they acted in the past, aggressor or defender, who they get along worst with, etc)

I've provided these templates on the first post so they can be easily copied and pasted. Anything else you want to add is fine, and there's no rush on this, I just think it's good to have a quick look-up for details.
