Heh. Fluffy would probably bribe me with shinies so that I make multiple illusory liches. Wearing pink dress.

That said, we have two elves, many humans, an undead, troll/dwarf thing, and two Fair Folks. (well, dunnow if Fey and Fay is the same thing, but whatever...). That is a pretty diverse group, methinks.

I dont know we dont realy have much magical ability beyond illusion, or a healer for that matter.
And reanimate dead doesnt count!

The lich says in his profile that he's capable of destructive magic (fireballs and such) and as I said there'll be a cleric...

It also makes sense that in a kingdom like Lassara there'd be more humans than other races ;)

but well at least there's a bunch of guys who can just walk up to an enemy and poke him with their pointy sticks so I guess that aspect is pretty much covered :D

... Oh dear, I realy hope my character finds one of the shard weapons before that happens.

---

Did I ever say yout get to find shard weapons? :P

Made my character appear even weaker, personal goal fulfilled :yes:

About healing, we also have a druid and a potion dispensing machine (me), so we should be fine.

Anything could happen, heh, there are so many ways I could fit it into the story, dont worry I wont make it an easy journey, alot of rumour chasing, questioning other characters for stories like a hermit wizard that glungurd met while searching for a lost sheep for instance, fighting a crimelord's goons for an old map that sort of thing. And in the climax they return to the city shard in hand just in time to bring Cantun's wrath to Morangul's undead horde. :D

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I added a little bit more to my character bio.
That dastardly Paladin somehow managed to cut-off Morangul's necromantic powers, so no undead hordes!
For now, at least.

I might be having a hearty dinner in the near future however....
or not, considering I have no stomach.

0_0. I think 'tis time for some Tom & Jerry esque story :p

Awww....you don't want a walking skeleton for your fwend?

I dunnow. Although I would consider it if I get to tease him on how old he looks despite his age and how thin he is. Until you try to cook and eat me. At which point I will distract you with...female liches... With yellow fluffy dress. Or something.

This looks interesting, I'll join in.

Don't hesitate to start without me if everyone else is ready though, TheLastDays. I'll catch up.

Female.....Liches.....
ummm....

I won't eat you.

Welcome to the party, Chaotix!

Thanks for the compliments, guys. There's several interesting characters in this game and I'm eagerly looking forward to see how all this works out.

Seon, I tried to find an accurate picture for your character (in her natural state, that is) and didn't have any better luck. The only art of horned females with green hair I found were either frontally nude or satyrs (or both). Also, doing a Google image search for "horned lady" produces somewhat disturbing results. Apparently there are at least two real women in the world who do, in fact, have a horn protruding from their head.

FYI, I changed my characters location from "somewhere" to "somewhere in ayal royad hyo"

Thanks! I actually found your character pretty interesting and implemented his race in the history of my character's race.

Nothing like a little game-world continuity!

"Chaotic Good".....

Way to rub in the chaotic part after ATPG's game.....
Chaotix.

Yeah, I thought that was rather cool of you to connect the two races and add to the game's lore. :) I like Frijyk's background and barely pronounceable name, as well.

I found something akin to what I was looking for. Posted it at the bottom of the charsheet...

By the way, it seems that we are neatly divided into two "parties" at this moment. The Southern Wilderness (around Leon) people and the Capital crowd. One is filled with cynical cold-blooded mercenaries, assassins, and nobles and the other is filled with mostly good at heart folks with communication disorders. Exceptonee of them who doesn't even have a heart har har.

Does it seem hard to pronounce? I'll clarify it in the post, it's basically phonetic: FRI-jik

Think "frigid" with a k. :laugh4:

And I thought it was pronounced fry-jik

Oh, have a hearty laugh......
I'm sure it will end well!

Can I create an NPC companion like Greyblades did?

Also, B Ray I love your race, freaking awesome.

B Ray, your character's race is awesome.
But, is it resistant to magic?
Dwarves and trolls are (except for fire with trolls), and I've seen your race compared to both.

I think these comparisons are only done by us incompetent readers of his profile ;) - He never said they were relatives to the dwarves or trolls.
I esp. love the part about their government and offices ^^

And yea having that many players it's not bad to have them in two parties for now buit we'll see how it ends up.

And, welcome Chatoix!
I'll start at 12:00 CET today and from then on the game thread will be open for posts, for all those that have their char finished ;)

@Psycho: Sure you can create an NPC like Greyblades. go ahead :D

Too many elvey type characters. My guy has a hatred of them. And Nobles. :P

He'd be more willing to help the Lich than the fey, fay, elvey people.

Well he's gonna have to adapt... or not.. that's the fun of it ;)

There shall most likely be no adaption. I like an evil side. ;)

Working on the opening now, stay tuned... ;)

It has begun... you can now start posting whenever you want in the story thread... esp. if those in Lassara could react that would be great ;)

Right, I assume I am stuck the throne room with the other nobles?

If you're a noble, then I expect you would be.

Right, now these demon things; are they weak or strong on thier own and are they the sort to only be affected by silver?

Hmm. I suggest trying to kill one. I'll just rescue the potato and get out of the city.

Considering I will be the one writing it I dont think that will help.

Make it a struggle and you can die a hero's death. :P

I would say they are strong.

I would assume that there would be many types of flying demon, some mere gremlins and some who is mostly blue, flies at speed faster than sound, shoots lasers from their eyes, is super strong, and whose only weakness is a weapon forged from a certain element in the demon realm.

Yeah but are they the sort to be blade proof? Do I need cold iron weapons to kill these things, or silver? Would it be worth trying to nab that holy sword the princess dropped when the counciler ran in?

They are pretty strong but they are killable with normal weapons. The problem is, they come in huge masses... also most nobles are currently being rushed out of the throne room, the royal guard is asking their escorts to stay and fight... it's your own choice if you wanna stay there and fight or run... You might witness something interesting though if you stay...

I think it would be more fun if you didn't know their weaknesses - I don't think demonology would be part of a noble's education :P

Unless of course your entire family are evil demon-worshippers!

crossposted:

It would definitely be worth trying for that sword ;) even if you don't need it right now...

Don't go for the sword! It's what the demon's want :skull:

Go for the sword and then kill the princess. Saves you spending hours searching the wrong castle. :yes:

Your princess is (already) in another castle... or at least not in that throne room anymore :P

Bah. I suppose we have to protect the princess? If I manage to get her by myself, could I sell her to the demons?

You probably could but you should asses the situation completely before myking such an important decision ;)

Huh my character arc would have been all about getting one of the shard weapons to present to his father, seems abit anticlimactic to pick it up off the floor...
On the other hand, free sword!

Interesting. So I can be on whatever side I like. At the moment, I will rescue the potato (That's what Rufus calls B_Ray's character), then after that we'll see what happens.

SPOILER ALERT!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This is the plot of Neverwinter Nights 2 in a teacup

Never played it. Do you mean this story so far?

I think he means "don't got for the sword. It's what the demons want"

though I've never played NWN 2 either ^^
haven't even played completely through NWN...

so, I need at least Greyblades post to continue since he's stuck in that throne room... most others I needed have posted ^^

What about Shlin? Isn't he in Lassara?

He is, as you can read in my first post the town guard has arrested him ;) I'm taking care of it... B_Ray's char is in the city too but the town won't be gone after my next post I just need some reaction from greyblades before the action in the throne room can continue ;)

EDIT: Man I'm glad I write my story-posts in word and use spellcheck before I copy them here... my typo-habit is getting worse every day...

I meant the mercenary, not Shlin sorry. It's DiY's character.

God I hate typos....

Right, he's there too, as I just noticed, Peasant Phill's char is too... but again they're not in the throne room so that's fine, they still have enough time to react in the city...

Stuck at college mate, dont realy have the liberty to make posts beyond 3 lines, I'll try to get to it when I get home.

Don't worry, we have time, on the other hand I can just continue if you tell me if your char will rather stay and fight or run. And will he go for the sword?

Hmm, to have three tavern scenes in a row or not :thinking:

:tongue:

What about all of us dudes in Leon? Should we be posting or are we not present for the scene?

Well the game's open so everyone can post. You can just start your journey and try to meet up with other chars, there's a bunch of them over in that direction... You can't see what's going on in Lassara so you'd just act however your character would add normally

Oh that poor fluffy bunny......

Right, forgot about that scrying bowl... OK, you others don't know what's going on in the capital...

Oh and there'll probably be festivities in all cities this day as it's the coronation and stuff... just no demons... yet...

You...you monster!

Your a vegetarian....?

.........Are you in Beefy's game?

OH CRAP.

I just realized that the princess, the person this story is about.....

is a CLERIC.

Great.....

Alaria can probably hide your Evil Presence better if you give her enough shinies :p.

Or else she may just straight out say "He's a skellington" to the princess.

I'd like to play, if you will take a neophyte. I've never done anything like this before, but I shall gamely endeavour not to break too many rules in each post...

Hmm, I don't suppose we're allowed to create minor confrontations on our own :thinking:

Just to check :bow:

Edit: Hmm according to rules seems fine :beam:

Well the next bit's up to you TLD. I could do with an editor for my post.

Your post looks god to me GB and I have just the thing for what just entered the throne room, keep an eye out for the character thread we're gonna meet the first anatgonists :D

Advice: do not fight it yet

@DIY: sure you can create as many small and large encounters as you want

@Amsel: Sure, create a character, drop it somewhere on the map (somewhere in the Area around Leon would probably be advisable if you don't wanna spend the beginning of the game alone) and start to play :yes:

I'll post

*Grumble*.....

Fine.....you get your "shinies"....
when you get yourself into the story!

Yay shinies!

Amsel, your character is one of the most interesting I've seen.
A sleepwalker?
I wonder how people will react....

There ya go!

Also Amsel that char is awesome... just there are probably no bottle caps in this world ;)

Seon....you posted your story twice.

Dunnow at you are talking about. :tongue:

Hrm... you should not have had me pulled out of the throne room I was about to pull something really good. Now I have to change the plan.

No bottlecaps? What a world. Okay, changed.

((I also noticed TLD's last post mentions a watch? Do we have watches? Mechanical ones?))
