We must band together. <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:maroon\"> Yes. We must band together. Forget petty territorial disutes aid our fellow gob-<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:brown\"> Silence, Gharrak dog! We shall help our fellow goblin, but when they invade into our territory, unnanounced and uninvited, we retain the right to defend ourselves! <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:maroon\"> An attack on our refugees is hardly what I consider self-defense. You claim to fight the dwarves, yet you will not suffer a goblin to live? Where is the justice in that, Raknarran? It is hypocracy. It is impossible to build a government with such \"allies\"<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:brown\"> You doubt our commitment to the fight? We shall show you the meanng of war! It was you, not us, who were weak enough as to be driven from your own lands, and have to invade ours! <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:maroon\"> Weak? We sent our best warriors against the dwarves, fully armored, fully armed, more than enough for any average human or elf. But the dwarves- they had fire. They had mortars that rained down, filling our troops with metal. They shot balls of lead at us from their muskets, and rained down death. You face the power of their muskets, and you tell me that we were weak. <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:brown\"> I have faced these muskets. I was not impressed. You are weak fools! You are savages and backwards grunt! You have no place in a council of war! Go back to your holes! We shall see the day when- <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:navy\"> Stop! I shall not have threats uttered in this room. This council is one of peace, and of unity. The Gharrak were driven out of their home, and cannot help that. We have all seen the power of the dwarven muskets, and cannot say we are not impressed. But that is irrelevant. Wha is relelvant is that we are here gathered against a common foe. If we cannot cease this petty infighting, then we shall be overrun,one by one, by the invaders. This must stop. The Raknarran lands shall not be invaded, nor shall the Gharrak go without homes. The Gharrak are to stay in Darrathal until their lands are retaken. But they shall never be retaken unless we band together, and should we not, then the Raknarran lands shall fall as well! <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:orange\"> I fear they shall fall regardless. You yourself spoke of the power of Dwarven guns. What chance do we stand against them in open battle? The only tactics that have prven themselves are ambushes, and we cannot run a war solely on that. Eventually, someday, we will have to face the dwarves in open combat. What shall we do then, as they stare down the barrel of their musket? <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:blue\"> We shall stare down the barrels of our own muskets. We have received shipments from our brothers in the GSA. Mortars and muskets are now ours to command. Only a few, but we shall receive more. Until then, we shall use what tactics have proven themselves workable. And when we fight the Dwarves on the field of battle, we shall be able to field rifles of our own to counter theirs, and our troops shall be able to advance in safety. <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\"> There you have it. We have a chance. Don't you see? All these years, all these generations, we've been driven from our homes, seen our brothers and our sisters, our parents and our children all slaughtered. Seen our land be despoiled. And now we have the opportunity to change all that. We have the opportunity to fight back, and to stop the ncursions, to win our lands back. All we need to do is be willing. All we need to do is trust in eachother and fight together. Now is the time! <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:green\"> Redfang is right. The dwarves are still ammassing their forces. Unless we can band together, the incursions will continue and will intensify. We have to stop them now. <\/span>\n<span style=\"color:navy\"> There you have it. We have no other choice. Now is the time. For our people, for our fallen anscestors and for the generatons yet to come, we must stand and fight now, before we forever lose our chance to do so. We shall stand, side by side, goblins, free and proud, and win our freedom. By our blood shall the lands of our anscestors be set free once more, and shall our children never know the shame of foreign rule, nor the wrath of foreign opression. It is time now to reclaim our ancient legacy, to rise up, take up sword and sheild, and break the chains of bondage! To set our lands free! Now is the time! <\/span>\nThere is a silence in the hall.\n\nKnacklaw steps forward.\n<span style=\"color:orange\"> A nation of our own? That's something worth fighting for. I shall pledge myself to this cause. <\/span>\n\nEmboldened by Knacklaw's pledge, Kueresh rises:\n<span style=\"color:brown\"> Should our foes prove trustworthy, we shall not fail to reward them with our support. We shall fight. <\/span>\n\nMaghar rises:\n<span style=\"color:maroon\">....we shall not violate this trust. <\/span>\n\nHe crosses to Kueresh, and clasps his hand.\n<span style=\"color:maroon\"> We shall fight beside you.<\/span>\n\nOne by one, the other kings and cheiftains in the hall begin to rise, and pledge themselves to the cause. It goes on for nearly an hour, with the various tribes each vowing their devotion.\n\nThe final tribe is the Muragha, a small clan from the southern part of the homelands.\nAs the Muragha cheiftain's words fade away, the crowd falls silent.\n\nGharral stands and rises:\n<span style=\"color:navy\"> Very well. So is reborn the legacy of our people. So is made the sword that shall deleiver us from bondage, and the sheild that shall keep us from it. So is born the new pride of our race, and the hope for our future. So is forged the Free Federation of Goblin States.\n\nArise, delegates of the Federation! <\/span>\n\nAs one, the delegates of the council rise.\n\nA great cheer is heard from the castle, and the bells in the belltower ring loudly for the town to hear as runners are sent from the castle to bring word to the corners of the newly declared state.\n\nThe word that, on this day, a nation has been born!","word-count":1334,"index":13,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Xerillum","timestamp":"2007-02-06T20:25:00","value":"The man grapples to the inner wall, and dispatches any guards.

The hand had covered him in blood, orc and dwarven, by the smell. Dwarves didn't have his keen nose, and so they couldn't tell the blood wasn't his. He landed behind their ranks and none gave him a second thought as he nimbly rolled tiny amounts to avoid their feet crushing him to death and played dead, waiting for his time to make a difference. The knife in his right hand -- maybe it was a dagger, Nithrik couldn't remember the difference in the heat of the moment-- was named \"The Crown is Shattered,\" in an old goblin tongue, and today the Goblin hoped it would live up, at least vaguely, to its name. So he bided his time, rolling in a thick pool of orcish blood and the dwarven blood with an almost painfully high pH. He scowled at the thought that it was probably bleaching his grey sash, and kept the expression to simulate a grimace of death from any dwarves who might look his way. He waited further as the dwarves advanced, until he stood below a centurion or lieutenant or whatever name the dwarves gave those in charge of large groups of their Professional Murderers. Knowing the dagger, an artifact among the goblins as the blade that once cut down a king who kept all the world's goblins enslaved through his enchanted armour, could cut through even the fine dwarven plate, Nithrik prepared himself again for death and rolled silently to his side, pushing himself up with one arm and slashing brutally at the tendons behidn the centurion's knee, angling the blade such that it would hamstring the other leg after it cut the first. As he flew into the air, knife cutting at the dwarf, Nithrik extended the blades on his hand claw and tesnsed all the muscles on his left side, preparing to balance himself after the blade cut through the dwarf's legs, but before Nithrik's feet hit the ground. He'd need incredible precision, although the landing would be mostly for show, since he'd be dead moments later, anyway, in all likelyhood. Grinning, now, Nithrik let out a cackle and held his breath in anticipation of the feeling of evil flesh tearing below his knife and the chaos that would befall this section of the army when some \"lowly goblin\" cut down their leader before their eyes.<\/span>","word-count":417,"index":48,"from-alternative":"User3"},{"from":"Renrik","timestamp":"2007-03-01T04:47:00","value":"((Where's Xerillium?

The Deathkeep

[{"from":"Rainspattered","timestamp":"2006-11-08T04:37:00","value":"((I may double post here, as this is Aercath's home))\nA titanic construction of wood, stone, metal, and gem blinks into reality. It is a castle, built with massive outer walls shielding the full, though small, city beneath them. In the center of the city is a most unusal keep, wide and low to the ground, directly in front of a Wizard's arcane tower so tall it dwarfs the walls of the city. The keep, though, is even stranger than its unusual dimensions; it is a pyramid, built of sandstone bricks a pale peach to gold in colour, a sharp contrast to the blues and greens and purples of the wizard tower or they greys and blacks of the castle and its city.\nThis city's strangeness is further compounded by a feeling of horrible, foreboding dread it gives most living beings who set foot within its doorstep; by a faint scent that smells like <i>age<\/i> more than decay, an inexplicable ancientness to the odor; by the exotic languages and and spices from what must be a hundred cultures across as many or more worlds; by the fact that every being in the city, in the castle, every pair of lovers walking the city at night is dead. Dead and risen again. Mummies, skeletons, a few zombies and ghosts, a very few vampires, six bone naga missing their seventh brother, many of them feeling, thinking beings with the sentience and intelligence of any living being. Some others, the guards and retainers are mindless, dead whose souls have moved on but whose bodies rise to life and shamble aimlessly at the guidance of the greater good of the society.\nIt is populated by a full eighteen-thousand sentient undead, twelve-thousand of them, at least, trained to fight at any given time. The fourteen thousand mindless skeletons and zombies who stand guard over them add in to the number, as well. Twenty-six thousand undead ready to fight at the slightest command from the man, the creature, who made all of this possible for them; an accepting civilization for the undead, where they could live at peace. That man is the archlich known as Aercath. Today, a skeletal knight of massive stature in jet black armour strides pridefully out of the castle, skeletal steed between his legs as he crosses the gate and dismounts with great skill and rapidity. Kneeling to the sandy ground the castle seems to produce around it, he he waits until from, nowhere, the message appears in his hand.\nIt is an unusual form for a message to come; a small, emerald green skink looking around mirthyfully at its royal treatment, flicking its tongue in and out of its mouth.\n<span style=\"color:mediumturquoise\">\"This is Aercath, speaking through my familiar. I ask you, my friends, to ready the legiosn and all of us. A great battle may soon come to this region. I have made preparations to raise you all once again, should the worst come to pass. Keep to the skies again, until I sent another message to K'shahk telling you the war has begun, but be ready and be vigilant in that time. When the battle comes, I shall alert you again. Aercath.\"<\/span>\nThe deathknight nods expectantly and takes the skink into his belt-pouch, from whence it quickly disappears, as was its nature. Remounting his horse with equal skill, he turns it around and it gallops through the gates and towards the keep one again.

Oh, no, wait, I also dropped a tower on the dwarven army from so many miles above the force simulated an explosion. But that was almost a year ago.\nI'm less troubled by the cart bombs than the rapid increase of nuclear weapons in the town; Xerillum has dropped about 14,000 on the goblins, there have been two attempts at Uranium elemental explosion (I rue the day the Giant ever made that terrible, terrible pun), and one attempt at a plutonium elemental explosion.\nCan't you guys at least be originally and use something like sodium or potassium? They're combustible too, and without massive explosions (due you have any idea how little uranium is required for a nucelear explosion compared to how big elementals are?) and fallout to deal with.\n\nI do have a hypothesis, though. The Gufis took power in the first guild war. Now they're inactive to the point that they have failed to protect a massive rally on several occasions. Their power has weakened greatly in the months I was on here less often. This leaves something of a power vaccuum in the town. Coincidentally, a new assassin's guild just started up, the Goblins just seized their own nation, the dwarven government just changed hands to a brutal dictator and broke ties with Xerillum's eponymous character, who has a force of his own, and my army of undead just decided to end their policiy of isolationism. That's a lot of conflicting bodies in one area with a power vaccuum at one time. I think that, unlike the attempt a while ago to have another guild war, one is actually starting organically right now. I wasn't around for the original, so I don't know what it was like, but this is how most non-militarized wars begin.\nSince I missed it the whole first time around, I'm cool to have a second one, so that mollifies my dismay somewhat, if it's actually the case.

In the middle of the First Guild War. Suffice to say, people were not pleased. Those people included myself, leader of the Masked Troupe, and Sneak, who was definately not the leader of the non-existant Mafia which certainly doesn't exist.\n\nOriginally, we called them Gufis and mocked them for being corrupt pawns of the emporer. It was a big accusation, because there was no government or real court system in town, so they were basically just vigilantes\/thugs hired by the Emporer. The first cheif was Supagoof. Although Supagoof wasn;t corrupt, a lot of the people in the force he commanded were, and even when Supagoof, for the sake of making the Gufis a credible police force, broke off the group's ties to the Legion, it was obvious that it was still a corrupt institution that gave major preferential treatment to a handful of citizens and openly hated others. This continued for quite some time, until the most corrupt of the cops eventually broke off, tiring of Supagoof's policies, such as allowing criminals to reform, taking the citizen's basic rights as sentient beings into consideration when they arrested them, requiring Gufipolice members to actually follow the law, actually giving people a fair trial as opposed to a Gufi tribunal and execution, and a number of other horrible things.\n\nSo the corrupt cops went off and started their own vigilante group where they didn't have to take the pesky law into consideration.\n\nAbout this time, with the corruption gone, the Gufipolice finally became a respectable instituton to the vast majority of the town, including myself. That's when I decided to make a Gufipolice character, and signed on as the goblin Narfang, under then-captain Supagoof. Supagoof was the best captain I ever knew, trulydevoted to his work. It was a sad day when he retired.\n\nBut we got Iames, another officer, as our police cheif.\n\nOf course, he eventually retired, and we got Verdandi, who, to make the Gufis more effective, created the distinction between Warden Officers and Patrol Officers. Verdandi was the cheif of wardens, and Hitomi was the cheif of Patrols. Of course, after Verdandi, Iames, and Hitomi all got married (to eachother. Never quite understod how that worked, really.), Iames and Hitomi went mysteriously missing, and I have no idea how it happened. So Verdandi went into some kind of a rage, and now she's unable to lead the force while she's on leave doing whatever it is that she's doing, so Al the Mutt is our Patrol Captain and our Warden Captain is on a vengeful killing spree or something, so the Warden Officers have no captain, and the highest-ranking warden officer is a young goblin with no leadership ability.\n\nAnd that's the history of the Gufis.","word-count":503,"index":65,"from-alternative":"User11"},{"from":"Lord Magtok","timestamp":"2007-03-11T05:03:00","value":"And my Town cop was busy with a plot for the last week or so.

Around it are crude symbols of various gods and goddesses.\n\nA second cart contains tools and plans for the chapel.\n\nThe Chapel of Glory can and will serve and help anyone of non-evil alignment. It is fairly poor, but tries to set up chapels in small communities, and to establish a framework, before moving on to the next settlement in need of their aid.\n\nThe Chapel can provide healing, blessings, advice, and several other minor services to the community.\n\n~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~\n\nThe workers begin unloading materials onto the ground.

On the wood is painted a thermometer, with amounts of money at regular intervals. Above it reads:\n\n<blockquote>We need your help!\nPlease donate generously!<\/blockquote>\n\nSeran sets them up outside the cart.\n\nHe goes inside, and prays at the Altar for success in this new place.","word-count":253,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Xaspian","timestamp":"2007-02-11T21:09:00","value":"Seran finishes praying, and goes out of the cart.

It seems impossible how painlessly he carries an almost ludricrously big club, just under his height, which seems crude, as though it was taken directly from a tree and not altered further. On the end of the stick is a large, bulky bag that rings with clanking noises on every step. He is followed by a menacing-looking blue crocodile that seems, like the club, to be too large to be a natural phenomena; one can feel its footsteps through the earth. The clank of chainmail sounds, muffling another sound; something like sandpaper over rolling dice, or knucklebones. Only the priest's chin is visible through the prenatural darkness of his hood, and it is horribly disfigured. He stands exactly still, in one place, for a stretch of almost 4 minutes, directly in front of the donation sign. He has a melancholy, rigid look to his posture.\nAs an early-hours laborer eyes the man, she figures that he must have been preaching at a funeral. The disfigured priest remains entirely immobile, seemingly incapable of so much as breathing. Just as she begins to wonder him dead and considers approaching him, he whirls the club around with a great \"<i>wooooosh!<\/i>\" and deftly removes the sack from the end. Placing the staff at his side for a moment, the priest removes a money-pouch from the sack. And drops it in front of the sign. Then a coinpurse. Then another. And another. Now an adventurer's pouch, fully stocked with coins. A lockbox, then an extravagant-looking silk bag, and finally what seems to be an endless amount of dark-looking mage's bags, probably necromantic. <i>Everything glints with wealth.<\/i>\nStunned, the woman simply sits and watches as he drops over half of the contents of the large bag in front of the post. He performs a clockwork-precise movement that seems much like a reversal of removing the bag to place it back, and resumes his slow pace along the road.\n\nJust as he seemed to have almost passed her by, she finally brings herself to her senses and confronts him. \"<span style=\"color:darkgreen\">Sir! You look like a mendicant friar! How in the the Gods' na-<\/span> (she corrects herself, considering she IS building a chapel) <span style=\"color:darkgreen\">in the names of our Kings did you gain this much wealth?<\/span>\"\n\nHe faces her with his entire body, the crackling sound growing louder as he seemingly struggles, futilely, to turn only his neck. And then that <i>hideous<\/i> mouth spoke, and the generous stranger suddenly no longer seemed so courteous. A voice that one could only imagine comes from the monsters of fairy tales loosed itself from his maw, chilling her bones as cold as any wind:\n\n<span style=\"color:navy\"><i>\"I have been quite lucky in my choice of... patrons, my dear girl. All of them had followed the path of darkness. Naught but a few had studied the arts...of death, of fear and pain and that which you should not... know.\"<\/i><\/span>\n\nShe notes with horror that occasionally his jaw would catch on some unseen, malformed bone and cause him to pause involuntarily. He makes what could have been a dramatic gesture, had it not been so stiff, and continues,\n\n<i><span style=\"color:navy\">\"But I showed them the... light. The error of their ways was revealed to them, and in the end they saw... the power of heaven. Such is the incompetence of... men at times. As a reward they gave me their earthly money. I have no need for the... luxuries of this life, and few of the necessities, and thus my congregant's gold is better deserved in a house of the faith. I would sooner... further the goals of the gods then of my own pleasure.\"<\/span><\/i>\n\nHis jaws abruptly close with an animated \"<i>clack<\/i>\", and he continues to walk, not varying in the least from step to step. As he marches further on the path to his destination, the laborer walks over to the considerable donation that he had made. <i>The man was a priest, and likely suffers from some sort of disease to make him seem to be such a creature<\/i>, she reminds herself. She felt horrible and wonders if he could tell that she had found him horrid. Her thoughts are interrupted by an acrid stench as she approaches the pile of pouches. <span style=\"color:darkgreen\">\"Phew! What is <i>that<\/i>?\" <\/span> The purses seemed damp as she touched them, and she wondered why she hadn't noticed that before. She opened a few purses casually, and then stumbled back with a bloodcurdling scream.\n\n<i>Th-the money! The donation money!

He, however, was not mentally unstable.\n\nThe telltale sign of my influence would have been the Censors, those large pillars of light you encountered a few times on your journey here.

[{"from":"Renrik","timestamp":"2007-03-08T00:59:00","value":"By the Dockside neighborhood of the slums, massive rally is taking place, with thousands of goblinoids, orcs, and other humanoids in attendance. The GWU is making signs for the demonstrators, the GLP is organizing different events, and the GSA is standing guard.\n\nThere are five large stages set up, around a central square.\n\nThe demonstration is open to all those who would like to hear of or show their support for the Revolution, and who support the idea of monster liberation, in which the\"mounstrous\" races are allowed once more to rule their homelands, and be free of human, dwarven, elven, or other opression upon them. It is a place of Revolution. It is the Rally.\n------\n\nThe crowd falls silent as a contingent of GSA troops appear, in uniform, carrying with them the caskets of a hundred GSA troops fallen in battle. The silence is total, as the troops carry their fallen comrades through the square, and a drum begins to beat. The crowd remains silent, save for those who weep for the slain soldiers. The procession continues, the crowd parting to make a path for the pallbearers to pass. Thesoldiers come to a plotof land nearby, dug up with a hundred graves, and lay the caskets down in them, covering them with the green and red flag of the Free Federation of Goblin States.\n\nRackfang Darknell, the Federation ambassador to the Town, gets up to speak.\n\n<span style=\"color:maroon\"> We have come hear today o mourn the passing of some of the finest of our generation. They were students, workers, and sailors. They were farmers and craftsmen. Yet they were knew not of liberty. They wept to see their people in chains. They wept to see their homeland unfree. And so they came, and they answered the call. And where once were workers, and students, there stood soldiers, ready to fight, and to die, for their people and their homeland, so that future generations could live free of opression, and could know the sweet taste of liberty that they had not.\n\nThey were prepared to fight, and prepared to die. And fight and die they did. They did it not for wealth, not for revenge or for hatred. They did it for an ideal. An ideal of freedom. It is for the freedom of their people that they gave their lives. There is no greater sacrifice than that.\n\nSo we gather here today to honor their sacrifice, and to laythem to rest. But while they are slain, and I mourn their absence, I know too that I must not mourn. For they are happy. They lived as soldiers, and died as martyrs. I cannot mourn, because I know that though in life they were unfree, in the afterlife no creature as noble as themselves shall be denied liberty. I cannot mourn for them, because they would not want me to mourn. I cannot mourn, because their work, our work, is not yet complete.\n\nSo farewell, my comrades. Farewell, you bold goblins. Do not greive for your unfinished work. It shall be completed, gods willing, er we meet again.<\/span>\n\nThe pallbearers lower the caskets down, and a pipe in the distance plays a mournful, keening song. When at last the caskets are lowered, and the last shovel of dirt laid over their graves, the crowd once more speaks.\n\nThe Rally has begun.","word-count":561,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Raistlin1040","timestamp":"2007-03-08T01:26:00","value":"A kobold monk NPC walks by, raises his fist, and yells \"Viva la revolution!\" He then leaves, donating a small sack of 50 platinum to the cause","word-count":27,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"Saurous","timestamp":"2007-03-08T01:31:00","value":"A pair of Barghests walk by.

May you ever live in blissful freedom!))\n\nOn one stage, a Goblin Labor Party activist gives a speech:\n\n<span style=\"color:brown\">\nLet me tell you a story. There once was a people. These people were a very cruel people. They hated and feared their neighbors. They never liked anybody but themselves. They claimed that they were the best of the races, and that all should subject to them. There was one neighbor this people especially hated. They were their neighbors, who controlled a large portion of land, rich with resources that the greedy people could use to make macines of war. So the people invaded their neighbor. They burnt down their neighbor's homes. They killed his children and his kinsfolk. The stole his land and his posessions. And when they were done, they cast their neighbor aside, and forced him ut of his lands, to live somewhere else, while the greedy people took all the good things in his land and twisted them to foul purposes, and waged war. You see, the greedy people didn;t do this because they needed to defend themselves. They did this because they hated their neighbors, and wanted them dead. So they tried to kill all of their neighbors, and take their resources, and burn their homes, and they justified it all in the name of their god.\n\nWhat people was this?\n\nIt was the dwarves!\n\nFor centuries now,goblins have been opressed. For centuries, our people have endured the worst of conditions. In our own homelands, we have been invaded. Our lands have been stolen from us, our resources ripped from the land. Our homes have burnt, leaving our children no place to go. Our people have been butchered for opposing the spread of foreign invaders into our rightful home. We have been killed, evicted, enslaved, and worse. And for what? For the hatred and fear that our enemies have deep in their cowardly hearts. For the greed of the dwarves.\n\nThe dwarves! For their greed, for their hatred, do our people suffer! Who are these dwarves, who so many claim as just people? Who are they? They are murderers and invaders! They have, for centuries, sytematically invaded our lands, stolen our resources, and committed genocide upon our people! They have killed all kinds of people, men, women, elderly, children, healthy, sick, all are subjected to the death that the dwarves bring!\n\nWhat drives them to do this? They do this not to protect their homes! They do this not for freedom or for any just and good cause! They do it for greed, and for hatred! They have openly admitted their purpose to be nothing short of the complete and total destruction of the goblin race! Is this a noble and good people? No! This is a foul and wicked people! It is them that we must fight! It is them that we must oppose, and win our freedom from! And, by gods, so we shall!\n<\/span>\n\n\nOn another stage, a group of goblinoids and orcs sing revolutionary songs:\n\n<span style=\"color:green\">We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,\n With cheering rousing chorus,\n As round our blazing fires we throng,\n The starry heavens o'er us;\n Impatient for the coming fight,\n And as we wait the morning's light,\n Here in the silence of the night,\n We'll chant a soldier's song.\n\n Chorus:\n Soldiers are we\n whose lives are pledged to no man;\n Some have come\n from a land beside the wave.\n Sworn to be free,\n No more our ancient homeland\n Shall shelter the despot or the slave.\n Tonight we shall fight without fail\n In freedom's cause, come woe or weal\n \"Mid cannons\" roar and rifles peal,\n We'll chant a soldier's song.\n\n In valley green, on towering crag,\n Our fathers fought before us,\n And conquered 'neath the same old flag\n That's proudly floating o'er us.\n We're children of a fighting race,\nThat never 'gain shall know disgrace,\n And as we march, the foe to face,\n We'll chant a soldier's song.\n\n Chorus\n\nSons of the free, my comrades all\nthe long watched day is breaking\nthe fighting sons of Datharral\nshall set the tyrants quaking\nour campfires now are burning low\nsee in the east a silvery glow\nout yonder waits the dwarven foe\nso chant a soldier's song\n\nChorus\n<\/span>","word-count":718,"index":4,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-03-08T01:58:00","value":"Eric skirts around the edge of the rally, feeling a bit out of place being human.","word-count":16,"index":5,"from-alternative":"User4"},{"from":"Nekulor","timestamp":"2007-03-08T02:00:00","value":"<span style=\"color:red\">*Silas drops by and gives 5,000 gold to the cause.*<\/span>","word-count":11,"index":6,"from-alternative":"User5"},{"from":"Renrik","timestamp":"2007-03-08T02:05:00","value":"A hobgoblin approaches Eric\n<span style=\"color:darkolivegreen\">C'mon, boy! Join us here! Let your voice be heard! What've you got to say about all this buisiness in the world?<\/span>\n\nA GWU spokesman speaks:\n\n<span style=\"color:orange\">\nMy fellow citizens! It is not merely by military force that the dwarves must be defeated for our people to be free, for it is not merely by military force that they keep us opressed. No, indeed, their entire society has bent it's efforts upon the continued opression of our people, and has become a great War Machine, with which to crush all opposition. And the foul mouth that feeds that machine is the dwarven economy!\n\nThe dwarves not only steal the resources of their opressed people, but they sell these resources, and with their blood-stained gold keep their armies running.\n\nIt is our duty, as free people, to stop the dwarven war machine before it devours us all. It is our duty to starve the dwarven war machine of it's food, and by thus doing, to cut off the support for their armies in the feild. Only by doing so can the dwarven war machine be weakened and defeated. Only by doing so can this opression be stopped!\n\nSo I urge you, good people; do not buy dwarven goods! Boycott dwarven markets! Do not allow them to feed their war machine by your gold! Do not allow them to use your labor to opress the people of this world! If we work together, we can starve this beast of it's bloody gold, and we can win this war!\n<\/span>","word-count":263,"index":7,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-03-08T02:13:00","value":"Eric listens and wonders where the dwarves keep their gold.

After several days of fighting, the Federation and GSA forces defending the capitol city found themselves sorely outgunned by the dwarven invaders. However, in a bold series of moves, the tide of the battle was turned in the Federation's favor. On the southern flank, an attack by elven mercenaries was turned back, and countered with a charge of the cavalry of the Federation, lead by Kjoroth Worglame, and infantry support. This coincided with a charge from the north flank by the forces of Racknarran and Gharrak, aided by GSA troops, and charge at the center of the dwarven lines by Federation and GSA troops. This forced the dwarves into a tight formation, and heavy fighting ensued. The weary troops of the Federation held the dwarves at a standstill for several hours until the arrival of Knacklaw, warlord of the river Thaull, with reinforcements from his forces. This caused the dwarves to be surrounded, and the new troop quickly took the mountain that the dwarves had been using as a stronghold. With the remainder of the their army cought in the open, the dwarves attempted an assault on Datharral itself, which was defeated by the militia of Datharral, aided by GSA and Federation forces, led jointly by Nalthar, Redfang, and Kharrouk. The remainder of the dwarven army attempted to retreat but were cut off from the route of escape. The dwarves were then defeated by the joint efforts of the Federation troops, the GSA, our allies lead by the scorcerer Kshaskh, and a small expeditionary force from Aszarkia.\n\nThe Free Federation of Goblin States has issued the statement that, following the victory at Datharral, they are hopeful that the dwarves will be willing to meet peacably to discuss an end to dwarven agressions against the Federation, and recognize the Federation as a sovereign state.<\/blockquote>\n\nOn the stage, the next speaker begins his speech:\n\n<span style=\"color:olive\">\nMy fellow citizen, a threat faces our community. This threat is not the forces of forign invasion. This threat is not the threat of economic repression. It is a threat much more foul. A threat that seeks to enlave us even when we are free. A threat that seeks to destroy all that we have worked so hard to accomplish.\n\nIt is the threat of the crime lords, of the gangs and of the criminal underworld that seeks to exploit our community, and keep us in their foul and greedy clutches. Just as corrupt and evil as the dwarves that invade our homeland are the criminals that invade our communities!\n\nWe, as a people, have endured much. We have endured invasion, opression, eviction, and repression. But we shall not tolerate these crime lords in our communties, seeking to live off the hard work of the common man!\n\nThe battle for equality, the battle for freedom, is not just to be won on the the feilds of battle, but in our own streets! How long shall we allow these corrupt parasites to plague our community, extorting ur people and threatening our leaders? Have we fought so hard to win our freedom from the chains of foreign bondage, only to be enslaved once more by the equally greedy chains of the crime lords? No! We have not! We shall tolerate it no further!

He and I were on the same \"Team\" in the pits, so we never fought each other, but we fought side by side, and he was one to top any tale dwarven courage you'll hear. He used himself to shield me from hydra venom, dodging into attacks instead of away. Once, we were to fight a pair of dwarven brothers. They came to him before the match and offered him a cut, an even third of the prize money, to stab me in the back and see an end to that 'pig orc.' He told them it'd take much more than a pouch of gold for him to take the life of his friend. They asked him if his life would be a good enough reward. He said, and I'll never forget it, 'I'm gun' die anyway, sooner 'r later, I ain't fer seein' why I should die a dishonourable cur fer abandonin' me friend when I could die as what a dwarf was s'posed to be.' They pulled daggers and cut him horribly, leaving him in that alley to die. He pulled himself back to the barracks below the pits to warn me.

For the time we are not engaged in conflict, though it seems ever around the corner. Your presence here is welcome.<\/span>\n\n\nA speaker on stage is talking about the corruption of the dwarven empire:\n\n<span style=\"color:green\">\nI will not pretend that Tor Liek was a good king. Under his command, the attacks on the homelands continued, and his generals were brutal in their fulfilling of his conquests. But neither shall I say that Tor Liek was a wholy evil man. Certainly, the wounds he did to us were great, but within his own kingdom, he ruled justly and fairly. Tor Liek always looked out for his people. In his wars against our people, at very least he honored the flag of truce when it was raised. He was a good king, for his part, though he did our people wrong.\n\nI speak praise of Tor Liek, because I cannot do so for his successor.\n\nI speak of Tor Gulder, lord of the dwarven monarchy. Never before have I seen such an evil man. Under his command, the dwarven empire has gone the worst possible path. They have put all of their funds into the development of an unstoppable and opressive military, and actively sought expansion against their neighbors. This is a king who increased the wars against us, who broke all rules of warfare. Where Tor Liek would have spared civilians and honored flags of truce, Tor Gulder massacres thousands and lies about diplomacy! In our homeland, he sent his solders, not just for conquest, as had his predecessor, but for genocide! Under his reign were the worst of the attrocities against our people commited. Under his reign, the dwarven army laid waste to our lands, and butchered ur people! Under his rule, the dwarves marched into this very Town, and sought to spread their campain of genocide here!\n\nThere are no redeeming qualities about this king. Even in his own empire, he is hated. I have seen the city of Rendkeln. They call it the Gilded City. I ask: does the name refer to the great palace of the king, or to the great expanse of destitute slums that make up the rest of his capitol? The money he has wasted on his army has left his kingdom without wealth to support it's own people, to busy are they attempting to opress others. In the shadow of the great palace, a million dwarves starve in the streets, unheeded by their king.\n\nBy their own king! A king is supposed to protect his people! A king is supposed to be a champion for his subjects! Yet here is a king who eats great feasts in a palace while his subjects starve and freeze in the streets!\n\nI know that not all dwarves are bad people. I know that many dwarves are good folk, brave and loyal and caring, who wish nothing more than to live in peace and prosperity, as does any person, human or dwarf or goblin. I know that this king does not represent his people.\n\nAnd so I urge the dwarven people: Do not slave under the yoke of opression any longer! You, like any people, have the power to free yourself from the chains of bondage! If you truly wish for peace with your neighbors, for reconciliation with those youhave so long fought, if you wish for freedom, and liberty, then you must take action: Rise up, dwarves! Wake up to the opression around you! Get up, stand up, and rise up! You can oppose this man, and you can have a revolution! You can get your country back, and live as dwarves should, as Tor Liek did.\n\nA people do not exist to serve their king. A king exists to serve his people.\n\nTor Gunder, therefor, is no king.\n<\/span>","word-count":646,"index":151,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Pollux","timestamp":"2007-03-11T05:09:00","value":"<span style=\"color:darkred\">\"Very well, Comrade.

Criminals wanted for murder, battery, or assault should expect lethal force to be used against them.\n\n{table=\"head\"]<b>The Crime<\/b>|<b>The Punishment<\/b>|<b>Other<\/b>\nMurder|36 hours|No bail, resurrection fine, one week parole and weapon restriction.\nBattery|24+ hours|2,000gp bail and healing fine, one week parole and 3 day weapon restriction\nAssault|18 hours|1,000gp bail, 3 day parole and weapon restriction\nResisting Arrest|6 hours|no bail, 3 day parole and weapon restriction\nKidnapping|24 hours|2,000gp +(500 * days kidnapped) as fine, week parole.\nPoisoning|24 hours|2,000gp, week parole, healing expenses\nTorture|48 hours|No bail, 500 to 3,000 fine and week parole\nTheft\/Robbery|12 to 24 hours|500 bail + gold equal to stolen items\nVandalism|12 hours|Pay for repairs, one day of community service\nForgery|6 hours|500gp\nDesecration|6 hours |500gp, one day of community service to temple\nJay walking|No hours|50gp\nDisturbing the Peace|6 hours|150gp\nBar Brawls|6 hours|300gp plus paying for your share of the damages\nStreaking|6 hours|150gp\nContempt of Court|6 hours|No bail\nTrespassing|6 hours|100gp[\/table]\n\n<b>Parole and Weapon Restriction<\/b>\nParole is served simply by being scryed on by the police for the duration of your parole. Weapon restriction is accomplished by wearing a bracelet provided by the OmniShop. This bracelet prevents you from using any aggressive magic or drawing weapons ((Aggressive magic includes harmful or unlawful uses of any magic)) The bracelet also prevents you from attempting to harm the bracelet directly or indirectly. These weapon restricting bracelets are made of adamantine and are unable to be taken off normally by anyone other than a police officer.\n\n<b>Internal Discipline<\/b>\nOfficers who are discovered to be neglectful or willfully derelict in their duty will be subject to disciplinary action. Infractions last for 1 month, and on officer who commits two infractions within a month will have his\/her badge taken away, his\/her powers as an officer revoked, and be asked to leave the force.\n<\/details>\n\n<b>To Report A Crime <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nPlease LINK to the thread where the crime was committed.

A police officer will receive weekly pay of 100gp, weapons (of your choice), weapon repair, and riot gear, a desk at the station, and room and board in the station barracks should they want to.\nSenior Officers receive pay of 150gp each week, have authority over all normal officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters should the captain be off duty.\nCaptains recieve pay of 200gp each week and have authority over all officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters.\n\nThe force is divided into two departments, the Patrol and the Wardens.\nThe Patrol consist of those who are paid for detective work, town patrol duty, and a quick response team to back up citizens in reported fights.\nThe Wardens are made up of the people who jail and guard criminals, take care of legal and diplomatic matters, and scry on those people serving parole.\nEach department has a separate Captain and a Senior Officer.\n\nThe badges given to the police act as badges of Trueseeing, and allow the police officer to contact any other badge-wearer with telepathy. They can either be pinned on, or aligned with the body's magnetic field to simply hold onto the wearer.\nTo be sworn in, you must first pass an alignment test. We accept no officers with Chaotic or Evil alignments. Once this test has been passed, the potential officer must answer the following questions in the affirmative:\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nDo you swear to uphold the law in this town?\n\nDo you promise to obey the rules of the police as noted on page 1 of the police station thread?\n\nDo you swear to the best of your ability to track and record crimes as well as apprehend and arrest criminals?\n<\/details>\n\n\nOur motto:\nTO PROTECT AND SERVE THE GOOD CITIZENS OF TOWN.\n\n<b>Officers of the Force<\/b>\n<b>Warden Officers<\/b>\n{table]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=14352\">Captain Verdandi<\/a>|A dandy officer if we ever had one, but don't think you can handle her just because she's pretty.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=593\">Senior Officer Narfang<\/a>|Diversity at the police force just took another step in the right direction.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=22777\">Officer Valkey<\/a>|Magic is an officer's best friend?\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=16646\">Officer Rell<\/a>|Looking for a second chance.[\/table]<b>Patrol Officers<\/b>\n{table]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=7706\">Captain Aerin Hitomi<\/a>|A fiery red head, with emphasis on the \"fiery\".\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=12087\">Senior Officer Al the Mutt<\/a>|With a nose that knows, he's taking a bite out of crime.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=20067\">Officer Secret Agent Stick Omega<\/a>|From another dimension, he's got gadgets galore.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=20772\">Officer Silas<\/a>|A mysterious man whose hands turn into weapons.

[{"from":"Landaro","timestamp":"2007-03-13T22:01:00","value":"<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color:darkgreen\"><span style=\"font-size:large\"><b>~ Sanctuary of Miylanarith ~<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\nSomewhere deep in the woods there is a hidden clearing. The open space is fringed by ancient weeping willows and at the north end there is a tranquil pond. The pond is fed by a small rivulet and the largest of the willows bends over it in a protecting embrace. Soft moss and grass cover the ground, dotted with colourful flowers. The flowers, which are usually rare in the outside world are numerous and speak of vigour. To the south there is a pentagonal area marked off by moss-covered stones. In the clearing it is never really dark, may it be day or night. Small lights hover in the air and bath everything in soft and warm colours. The clearing is hallowed to Miylanarith.\n\n<b><u>Miylanarith<\/u><\/b>, the Lady of the Woods\n<i>Intermediate Goddess (Elven Pantheon)<\/i>\n<b>Alignment:<\/b> Chaotic Good\n<b>Portfolio:<\/b> Nature and Renewal\n<b>Primary Domains:<\/b> Animal, Plant, Good, Healing, Protection\n<b>Secondary Domains:<\/b> Air, Earth, Water, Sun, Chaos\n<b>Forbidden Domains:<\/b> Death, Destruction, Fire, Evil, War\n\nThere are only three ways to enter this place!\nThe first opens up to those who are truely devoted to the cause of and acknowleged by the Goddess. If you set out to find the clearing on your own, you will inevitably pass it without noticing its vincinity. The knowledge of this ways is kept secret to all those not dedicated to Her ideals. It is nearly impossible to pretend this devotion, for the Lady looks directly into the heart of those who come.\nThe second is to be led by a Devoted. People who are granted this honour cannot remember how they got there, but they can feel the atmosphere that speeds up processes of healing, mental as bodily. They can bath in an air of peace and quiet. And if they have the intention, they can communicate to the Goddess in silent prayer by the shore of the pond.\nThe third way to enter this place is a token of Miylanarith' goodwill. Anyone close to Her clearing, who is in dire need of shelter and protection, might stumble through the undergrowth and reach the Sanctuary unintentionally. The way will be blocked to those who persue him, so he can rest. He will feel tired and go down to sleep beneath one of the trees. When he awakens, fully recovered, he will find himself near the border of the forest, without memory of where he slept and how much time has passed.\n\nIt is unknown which powers are granted to Miylanarith' followers and their abilities often depend on their personal skills (the Devoted come from very different backgrounds), but all are known to be outstanding healers with close affinity to all living things. They carry their faith humbly and are not known to evangelise their belief.\n\n<b><u>NPCs<\/u><\/b>\n<span style=\"color:mediumturquoise\">Tali<\/span> is a small fey, about as tall as an outstretched human palm. She looks like a human woman, dressed in living vines, that darts around the clearing on two sets of ribbed, translucent wings. She is always happy and talks to visitors about the goodness of life. Of the three constant residents, she is the one most often not present, as she serves as a devine messenger.\n\n<span style=\"color:yellowgreen\">Lytana Silverlight<\/span> is a female elf of exceptional beauty. She's got waist-long auburn hair that is tied to a tail by a mithril brooch. She wears a long, cream-coloured gown that is embroidered on the hem and on the cuffs of her sleeves with leaf and vine patterns in different shades of green. A mithril belt around here waist enhances her beauty further. A fine cut emerald dangles on her forehead from a silvery chain. She is bare footed. She is the Keeper of the Pond and thus in charge of the Sanctuary. She is friendly and believes that everyone deserves a second chance.\n\n<span style=\"color:sienna\">Duu'nog<\/span> is a male sturdy oak-treant who is normally rooted down beside the pentagonal area. Usually he is of sour mood, but he is a reliable guard. When he is grumbly towards others it is never personal, when he is angry, it is. Those who crossed him the wrong way, usually regret the day they insulted the Lady of the Woods.\n\nThere are some more treants that serve Miylanarith, but they are seldom encountered in the clearing, as they are scattered across the forest to keep an eye on the things that happen elsewhere.","word-count":738,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Landaro","timestamp":"2007-03-14T17:06:00","value":"After long minutes of silent dialog with the Lady, Lytana opens her eyes and rises from her kneeling position on the shore of the pond.

The small fey stops in midflight, turns and rushes towards Lytana.\n\n<span style=\"color:mediumturquoise\">What is it, child?<\/span> she chirps.\n\n<span style=\"color:yellowgreen\">Don't call me that, I am 324 years old.

You have to find Raanur and ask him to get this elf, Landaro Amlugsereg is his name, to come to the Sanctuary. Her Highness summons him. Be quick, he aught to be near the forest now, I am told.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:mediumturquoise\">As you command, child.<\/span> The lips on the tiny face turn into a funny grin.\n\nLytana gives no reply, but turns to her daily routine, checking on the health of life around the clearing.

Nyalee's House (Hamlet)

[{"from":"Deadly","timestamp":"2007-03-14T23:28:00","value":"This is Nyalee's house. It's an old, wooden house resting on a hill on the outskirts of the Hamlet. It looks abandoned and is obviously in a very bad shape with broken windows and holes everywhere. It also looks rather scary, almost as if a constant shadow hangs over it. In other words, this is your typical haunted house, just smaller.\n\nOn a small sign outside the house, barely noticeable, is written something in barely readable letters. If you try hard enough you can make out the words \"Magical services provided. Price negotiable.\" Despite being nothing but a message on a piece of wood stuck in the ground, that last part makes the hairs on your neck stand up. Two things are obvious: Nyalee doesn't care much about promotion, and it might be a good idea to bring cash to avoid... unfavorable methods of payment.\n\nThe door squeaks open, revealing a dusty room with little decoration. There's a desk next to the door, a small fireplace with a chair and a rug in front and a few paintings on the walls, although it's difficult to see what they depict. There's a single door on the far wall. It's locked well and warded with powerful magic, and it's the only thing in this house that actually looks sturdy. The floor creaks dangerously as you step on it, and you have an uncanny feeling of being watched closely.\n\nIn the window next to the desk sits a ghostly raven. It watches you with it's cold, dead eyes, but says nothing. On the desk is placed a note. It reads \"If I'm not here, Avatar will service you as best he can. He doesn't speak, but hears and sees well enough.\" Apparently the raven watching you is named 'Avatar'.\n\n((Any minor magic items can be bought from Avatar. If you need any special items or services you need to speak personally with Nyalee when she's around. Avatar never speaks, and he'll haunt you if you try to cheat him.))","word-count":336,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"}]

Fuum's All Purpose Minions

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Fuum Bango","timestamp":"2007-03-17T13:43:00","value":"Fuum\u2019s All Purpose Minions\n\nDwarves from all over town came last night to build it. Fuum\u2019s bardic skills convinced them not to do it for gold, not that he didn\u2019t give them every nickel he had, but to get back to there masonry roots! To build a structure that would be remembered for years to come!\n\nFuum was pretty pleased with his charisma roll too thanks.\n\n\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n\nThe Map\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i47.photobucket.com\/albums\/f152\/Badger-Man\/apm.png\"\/>\n\n1. This is the room accessible from the street; it is the general place of business, where minions are sold. It is very bright with dwarven blessing runes engraved into the wall.\n2. This is Fuum\u2019s abode; it is dark and hot, with silks hung from the ceiling and perfume wafting in the air. Here deals are made.\n3. Inside this room are most of the minions, living out simple lives in magically shrunken form, inside reinforced glass cases with their natural habitat around them. It is noisy and the walls are wet to touch.\n4. Behind the enchanted doors lurk the expensive minions, mere money can\u2019t but these beasts, each one is rare and it\u2019s doubtful there could be another just like it in town.\n5. The petting zoo, harmless creatures and some runts from room 3 make there home here. The minions here have free reign of the shop and can be spotted all about the place, which Fuum doesn\u2019t seem to mind one bit. They can\u2019t be bought, but they can leave with you of there own accord.\n<\/details>\n\n\nNPC\u2019s:\nHatha Odkin: if Fuum is not in the shop, Hatha the Green Hag will be in his place. She is a kind, motherly old hag, which speaks in an odd slang. She cackles in <span style=\"color:seagreen\">sea green<\/span>.\n\nDwarves: Hiding around the corners, sleeping in the hallways, the dwarves have taking a liking to there latest building effort. Most know the ins and outs of the place and are happy to make a sale. They shout in <span style=\"color:dimgray\">dim grey<\/span>.\n\nSo come on in, hang out and play with the fluff elementals or order a giant thunder-hound for your every guarding need.\n\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n I think it'll be more fun if you ask what kind of minion you want. like say a fast one, so I can \"see what we have in stock\" rather than walking in and asking for a Half-dragon dire wolf with barbarian levels.\n<\/details>","word-count":402,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Castaras","timestamp":"2007-03-17T13:52:00","value":"Helen teleports in and heads over to Hatha.\n<span style=\"color:magenta\">\nWhat minions do you supply here?<\/span>","word-count":16,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"Fuum Bango","timestamp":"2007-03-17T13:58:00","value":"Hatha grins, showing her old, worn teeth, <span style=\"color:seagreen\">\"Well deary, we've gots a load of Dire Bats just in from some world called Gladdsganger.

The front and rear airships land first, at opposite ends of the property, while the airship in the middle hovers steadily overhead. This remaining craft is actually a group of four cigar-shaped zeppelins filled with lifting gas, with a cab between them and supporting under them a prebuilt two-story wooden structure. Crews emerge from the airships on the ground, and they guide the payload down, and it touches the ground lightly. When the dust settles, men are already working to anchor the structure into the ground using metal pylons, driving the rods into the dirt. That work and more takes all day, but by nightfall the workers pack up their supplies and depart, leaving behind a completed structure and the staff to run it.\n\n\n The Embassy of the Grand Republic of Modallia is a rather simple wooden affair.

[{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-29T01:56:00","value":"Tucked away in the corner of the astral plane there is demiplane. This demiplane is Aesa's planar realm.\nThough small, it contains a variety of terrain. There is a small wood, a lake covered with mist, foothills and the small mountain on which her tower has been built. A path leads up the mountain to Aesa's tower.\nThe realm is obviously real, but something about it seems insubstantial and not quite there. The feeling that you will simply wake up from a dream, or that you will pass through the ground, is easily ignored or forgotten, but never overcome. Its quite a pervasive and insistant sensation.\nStorms and lightning continually flicker in the background, and a thin mist coils about the surface of the entire plane, adding to its surreal quality. The plane maintains a constant, cool breeze and slightly chilly temperature.\nAnyone venturing here who has earned Aesa's ire or comes in an unwelcome fashion may find that the lightning is not just in the background, and that the mist is more than just a whispy thing around their feet.\nThe tower itself is fairly small, but not crampt.\n\nAesa has now opened up her plane for mercenary buisness. Aesa takes <i>any<\/i> jobs that she feels inclined to take, ranging from tracking to assassination.\n\nThere is a portal that connects the first floor of Aesa's tower to the streets, and there is a sign next to it that reads:\n<b>MIST SPIRE-\nHome of Aesa, Diviner, Assassin and Mercenary for hire.\nInquire inside.<\/b>\n\nBASEMENT: This area is connected to a small network of catacombs that lead to numerous places of interest. A few of these are Aesa's summoning chamber, her vault where Zchiz is now kept, and a training room.\n\nFLOOR 1: The first floor contains a desk, a large number of chairs around a table, a fireplace, and is in general a 'welcome' area.\n\nFLOOR 2: The second floor is a small but comprehensive library.\n\nFLOOR 3: This floor is reserved fro the private quarters. As of the moment, there are five bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small living area.\n\nFLOOR 4: The literal top of the tower. You are outside on this floor, and can see the entire plane. Apparently it is a good vantage point for throwing lightning bolts at things.","word-count":384,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Takehiko the Marooned","timestamp":"2007-01-29T01:58:00","value":"Rin backs off slightly. <span style=\"color:darkorchid\">Mom?<\/span>","word-count":6,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-01-29T02:01:00","value":"<span style=\"color:purple\">Your father and I got into an argument.

My sister, Verdandi.\n\nOdin took Verdandi in as a valkyrie, but her fate was different. She decided not to stand by and watch mortal suffering, but instead to be the neccessity of the sword- the defense of those who needed it. She selflessly gave up her life to defend those who did not deserve death.\n\nHowever-\n\nThe Norns, the all knowing weavers, Skuld among them, noticed that fate was being altered. Not forcefully, not intentionally or purposefully, but altered nonetheless.\n\nThey couldn't discern the source, but after watching what threads of fate were bent and changed, they realized that the cause of all this was Verdandi. With her Norn heritage she was able to change fate- literally saving the lives of men and changing their destinies.\n\n<\/span> <span style=\"color:black\">Aesa lets out a breath and pauses for a moment.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">Skuld wanted to get rid of her influence somehow, and the other Norns pushed her to kill Verdandi. She reluctantly agreed, but Odin interfered and refused to have Verdandi killed. He therefore proposed a solution to the warping of fate from its prescribed course.\n\nMe.\n\nIt was only recently that I learned I had a father... I had always thought the Norns had created me. But Drottstund and Skuld apparently brought me into the world.<\/span>\n\nAesa frowns, then shakes her head.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">No matter my true heritage. It doesn't come into play in this.\n\nOnce I was born, I was near instantly instructed in the ways of Fatespinning, Seid, and strictest obediance to the Norns and Fate. I was taught that change was necessary to keep balance to Law, and to sustain them both. Indeed, my role was exactly that- to change things to follow the laws of Norse fate. I could hardly forget it.\n\nHowever, I was naturally a bit foolhardy and reckless, overconfident to say the least. Especially after I learned just how skilled I was at things. Verdandi was never my match in using Seid, she couldn't manipulate fate and time as I could.\n\nSkuld beat obediance into me as best she could- she tried to gain respect from me, but our relationship was never healthy. She despised me, because I was the child she had never asked for, never wanted. I was just a necessity to her. She did... terrible things to me. Often. Without mercy or a flicker of remorse. I don't think even Vera knows just how horrific it was.\n<\/span>\nAesa shudders and her voice halts for a moment. She doesn't speak for a while, but eventually she continues.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">Finally they judged me ready, and set me my task which I had trained for- countering out Verdandi's existance. Reworking fate behind her to be as if she had never been. It wasn't an easy task, but that was least of it.\nVerdandi was a paladin. A defender, and a savior. Countless times I was required to step in and do the opposite of what she did. It wasn't always the way it had to be done, of course, but it was often- quite often- an evil work I performed.\n\nI despised it. I loathed it. The more I worked, the harder I worked, the more I hated myself for what I did. Slaying the innocent, breaking apart families that had been united- making slaves of free men... those were the least of what I did.\n\nI couldn't take it. My mind couldn't take it. And, as the mind will do, it began to adapt. I learned to enjoy my work. Death began to fascinate me- pain was merely a tool and amusing way to make someone dance to my will...\n\nI still hated what I did. But I found a grim satisfaction and a morbid joy in it too.<\/span>\n\nAesa puts her arms around her legs as she reopens her eyes.\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">\nFinally I came here, called by Verdandi so she could tell me that she had put aside her oath. I had made a miscalculation- slaughtered an entire town that I thought would counter balance her next move which never came. She was here, in love, and had put aside her oath to selflessly protect others. She loved him that much...<\/span>\n\nShe stares off across the flowers again, then shakes her head and returns to her story.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">When I came here I finally realized that if she could throw away her oath, without a care to what would happen- I could as well. I cast aside my oath to the Norns, fully expecting to return as I had been hundreds of years ago. I created this plane, these flowers...<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:darkorchid\">But I still enjoyed my work, even though I didn't have to do it anymore. I fought off the Norns to keep my freedom- but I was still like you know me. I couldn't come back to this. I was caught between morality and enjoyment.

A platform has been assembled in the middle of the square, and a few sailors mill around a ship's grating that is rigged upright at one end.\n\nSeveral sailors emerge from the crowd and surround Ceika, forming a sort of honor guard as they escort her to the platform. Many are her own officers, but several are faces she has not seen since her days of piracy. Once the Admiral has climbed the platform's steps, her guard dissolves back into the Square.\n\nEl Jaspero steps forward gingerly, a grim set to his face. He is unarmed, but holds a red leather bag in his hand. He is still quite pale, but he somehow manages to hold himself straight.

The pirate turns and walks to the grating. He grabs it with his outstretched hands and waits silently, his head bowed.

There was no time to get out of the way.\n\nWhispering a hurried invocation to Mielikki, the ranger whipped an arrow out of his quiver and nocked it as he felt his goddess' magic flowing into the bow. The bear was just rearing up to come down on Culin, who was snarling and dodging around himself, when Kern released the arrow.\n\nThe blessing of the <i>hunter's mercy<\/i> worked beautifully. The arrow pulsed with soft light slightly before plunging straight into the bear's ribcage, above the heart. That arrow was quickly followed by two more as the bear began to roar again, a roar that quickly died as one arrow found its throat and another its right lung.\n\nThe animal collapsed, dying. Not wishing to cause it any more suffering, Kern, rushed up and slashed his long knife across the unfortunate creature's throat, quickly ending its life before it suffered through the pain of dying unable to breathe. He muttered a swift prayer to Mielikki and Silvanus, asking for the animal's spirit to find its way to the House of Nature.\n\nLooking in the bushes, he discovered a freshly killed deer and sighed. The bear had only been protecting its dinner, but he had had no choice. Shaking his head sadly, he turned back to the bear and began the arduous process of dressing it, not wishing to waste the meat of the creature he'd had to kill.

The two large ones are silver dragons, easily deduced from the colour of their shining scales. Considering their size, they look like young adults, but Shorodar, inspite of his small size, still seems to be the eldest. While Shorodar comes down as light as a feather until he hovers at the height of Landaro's head, the two silver dragons decide to land completely. When they come down, Landaro can feel the rush of pressurized air that collects under their wings and a small shockwave in the floor. Unhurriedly they fold their wings on the back and lower their elegant necks to reach eyelevel with him as well.\n\nShorodar is the first to speak.\n\n<span style=\"color:plum\"><i>Be greated, Dragonborn. I didn't expect to meet you so soon. Did you already recover the knowledge of Travelling.<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:darkgreen\"><i>Welcome to you as well. And to you,<\/i><\/span> he adds, directed at the silver dragons. He doesn't know, whether they get it, but when they both slightly nod in acknowledgment, he is satisfied.\nA new friend did me a favor, so no, I have no knowledge of Travelling.\n\n<span style=\"color:plum\"><i>Anyway, I bring good news, my lord. Those two are Karanduul of clan Iliosh and Gengareth of clan Tollnohr. I met them halfway to you. Their clans live high up in the mountains and both clans decided to declare allegiance with you. It seems that your advent caused some ripples in dragon society. Karanduul and Gengareth are the official ambassadors of those two clans and they agreed to answer your call. From now on, you can rely on their advice and on the support of their clans. Take this token as a gift of honour.<\/i><\/span>\n\nHe flys a few feet backwards. Then, a silver light starts to blossom in the air, between Landaro and the small dragon. It forms into a silver amulet with a green sheen that shows an upright dragon in flight. Two saphires mark his eyes, and a single silver dragon scale is worked into his chest. The amulet is roughly two thirds of Landaro's palm high and hangs on a delicate mithril chain.\n\nCarefully Landaro takes the gift out of the air and puts it around his neck. Instantly, the vague sketches of the silver dragons' auras become a lot clearer. He can also sense several similiar auras somewhere high up in the mountains behind him and he is now able to distinguish between Karanduul and Gengareth.\n\n<span style=\"color:silver\"><i>We greet you, Dragonborn.<\/i><\/span> The voices of them are new in his head but although they are nearly simultaneous Landaro can put them each to their source.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkgreen\"><i>I thank you and try to be worthy of this honour.<\/i><\/span> He bows deeply to the two of them, which answer it in the same way, nearly putting their heads to the ground. He is still really taken aback by the current of events, but the proper formalities came to him automaticly.\n\nFor a while the small group stands silent on the meadow.","word-count":528,"index":850,"from-alternative":"User23"},{"from":"Uberblah","timestamp":"2007-03-15T01:06:00","value":"Ishmale wakes up and gets out of bed.

One day, I had enough, claimed I'd lost some weapons on a job, took the beating that earned and killed him in the night. We then went freelance. This carried on for about a year until our planet, Rasalhauge, was invaded by a group of people called Clan Ghost Bear. We fought them, naturally and caused enough carnage that when the planet surrendered, they took us in because we were useful. They trained us in the use of their signature item of military kit, the battlemech, and in return, we settled a few scores for them among the other invading clans.

However, it was touch and go for a time, especially when it was me, Snowraven, Michael and 2 others against a force of 40 Comguard mechs. We were all damaged and we were going to pull back but Michaels damn stupid clanner honour wouldn't take it. He charged the Comguards alone with predictable results.

The identity or nature of the other god is unknown, and is only known as the Scarlet Blade because that \"name\" appears in one of the verses of the prophecy. We, the followers of Shoar naturally believe him to be the saviour, and the Scarlet Blade to be the destroyer. The followers of the Scarlet Blade thinks it's the other way around.<\/span> she pauses and sips her drink","word-count":132,"index":712,"from-alternative":"User2"},{"from":"Ms_Elaneous","timestamp":"2007-03-21T23:50:00","value":"Ms E delves into her pack and pulls out a few pieces of malleable metal she's had lying around and begins working it onto the gear conglomeration she's been working with.","word-count":31,"index":713,"from-alternative":"User27"},{"from":"Lykan","timestamp":"2007-03-21T23:52:00","value":"((*cackles maniacly* Gotta love those magic cherrybombs...))\n\nHiko rolls his eyes and goes back to drawing.","word-count":16,"index":714,"from-alternative":"User20"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-03-21T23:52:00","value":"Leonel enters and sits at the bar, ordering a beer.\n\n[hr]\nNazgul nods. <b>I see.<\/b>","word-count":15,"index":715,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Nevrmore","timestamp":"2007-03-21T23:53:00","value":"The NPC cradling Malachi's body begins to sing \"Amazing Grace\" for his soul, which sounds particularly awful as he tries to choke back a wave of tears.

[{"from":"Sophistemon","timestamp":"2007-02-20T02:21:00","value":"<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><u>The OmniShop<\/u><\/b><\/div><\/div> <div style=\"text-align: center;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>We Sell <u>What<\/u> You Want for the <u>Price<\/u> You Want<\/i><\/div><\/div> <u>\nDescription<\/u>: The OmniShop is a store in which shoppers might procure anything that their hearts desire. If it exists, you can find it in this store. If it exists and it isn\u2019t in the store, it can be found. If it does not exist and can be made, it will be. And the best part is that there are no set prices! One must only pay what they think the purchase is worth, no more and no less.\n <u>Exterior:<\/u> The outside of the OmniShop is that of a massive castle, including parapets and towers, built out of light gray stones. The front door is a large wooden double, capable of being blocked by iron bars that drop down from the stone above it. On either side of the OmniShop proper are attached two smaller (though still very large) buildings built in the same castle-like manner. They have no exterior doors.\n <u>Interior:<\/u>\n<ul>\n<li>Store: Upon walking through the doors a shopper would come to see a massive room filled with huge floor-to-ceiling shelves stocked with common to moderately uncommon items, all of which are available for purchase. After that they would be astounded by the room itself; the floor made of glistening white-marble tile, the walls of oak so heavily lacquered and polished that they seem to glow with a soft, warm light. The employees, dressed in their smartly-tailored uniforms, rush from place to place cleaning, polishing, and helping customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Restaurant: Were one to turn right and travel halfway to the front of the store they would see a door leading to a fine-dining restaurant where one would be able to purchase and eat any type of food their bellies can imagine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If one were to follow that same procedure, only going to the left, they would find a door that leads to the OmniShop Inn. Each room comes with a large queen-sized bed, a desk and chair, two lamps and a fully functional bathroom, complete with shower\/bathtub.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>At the far end of the Omnishop are from the front doors are three counters, two of polished silver with a slightly larger golden one between them. At the left counter sits Gentlebot, Gent\u2019s personal assistant. At the right sits Gongjin, Ekrath\u2019s butler. At the center counter sits The Distinguished Gentleman himself. Behind the center counter are two doors, both inaccessible to the public. The door to the right leads to a staircase that provides access to the upper levels, where the truly rare items are. It is also in the upper levels where The Distinguished Gentleman makes his home. Gent, Gentlebot and Gongjin have keys to this door. The door to the left leads to the basement. Only Gent has access to this door.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<b><u>Personnel:<\/u><\/b>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showpost.php?p=1388305&amp;postcount=164\"><u>The Distinguished Gentleman<\/u><\/a><u>:<\/u> The suave, sophisticated owner, operator and proprietor of the OmniShop.

He then concentrates on the bucket, mumbling soft tunes under his breath, and seconds later the water turns purple and gives off a sharp stench. Oblivious to the heat, Landaro soaks the cloth in the brew and approaches Baeleck.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkgreen\">I cannot guarantee that this will work, but it gives you a fair chance to overcame the illness yourself.<\/span>\n\nHe wants to clean the wound with the steaming, soaked cloth.\n\n((Don't know whether you want to be healed right now.))","word-count":153,"index":1031,"from-alternative":"User27"},{"from":"Baeleck","timestamp":"2007-03-12T19:43:00","value":"Baeleck gives a yell as the cloth touches the wound.

I always imagined they started as some breed of slug in some forsaken underdark pool, which preyed on the brains of sentient creatures. Brought to the surface and exposed to humans, they found them easy hosts, and soon burrowed into and took over their brains, eventually evolving to be able to control the brains of their hosts, and transfiguring them.\n\nOr something liek that.))<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\nActually, the wikipedia article is pretty complete. Illithids start out as four-tentacled tadpoles. They are inserted into the brains of sentient creatures (Humanoids work best) in a process called ceremorphosis. They grow and mutate the subject until an illithid is left. They then move on to create more illithids. Their language consists of figure consisting of 4 lines, and they read by running their tentacles over the figures. They used to have 2 deities, but 1 was slain by Orcus. Several creatures can result from attempting Ceremorphosis on a non-humanoid, the most well-known being the Uchuulon, or slime Chuul.\n\nBy the way, could someone with the stats please PM me the stats for A Ulitharid, elder brain, Uchuulon, Illithid (The SRD doesn't have it), brain golem, Brainstealer dragon, Illithocyte, Neothelid, Oortling, Octopin, Brain golem, Nyraala golem, Mindwitness, or Kezreth?

Police Station X

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"McBish","timestamp":"2007-03-03T17:51:00","value":"<b><span style=\"font-size:medium\">POLICE STATION<\/span><\/b>\n\nInside the building there are many people at various desks. They all have something in common, a badge. This badge certifies that they are members of a squad developed and devoted to doing just one thing, stopping crime. They are the Town Police.\n\nAs you walk into the foyer you can see a large doorway on the right in what you're sure is an outside wall. Looking through it you can see a set of metal stairs leading down to some more cells. A sign above the doorway says <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=17677\">Cell Block Extension.<\/a> <\/b>A sign over the front desk reads \"Amulets of Trueseeing in Operation. Please leave Lies and Illusions at the door.\" Behind and to one side of the desk in Captain office.\n\nI will update this as often as I can, but please remember that it may not be current.\n\n<b>The Rules: <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nIf anyone (even a citizen) gets evidence on a crime, and are able to track down the criminal, then they can arrest him. The suspect will be in jail for a period of time according to the crime, after which the criminal will be released back into town. Due to rights for a speedy trial, the criminal will be held at max for 48 hours in the station if we can't settle it in court.\nWhen arresting, one must first ask the criminal to come quietly, and then if they do not they may subdue them, using lethal force at their discretion. Criminals wanted for murder, battery, or assault should expect lethal force to be used against them.\n\n{table=\"head\"]<b>The Crime<\/b>|<b>The Punishment<\/b>|<b>Other<\/b>\nMurder|36 hours|No bail, resurrection fine, one week parole and weapon restriction.\nBattery|24+ hours|2,000gp bail and healing fine, one week parole and 3 day weapon restriction\nAssault|18 hours|1,000gp bail, 3 day parole and weapon restriction\nResisting Arrest|6 hours|no bail, 3 day parole and weapon restriction\nKidnapping|24 hours|2,000gp +(500 * days kidnapped) as fine, week parole.\nPoisoning|24 hours|2,000gp, week parole, healing expenses\nTorture|48 hours|No bail, 500 to 3,000 fine and week parole\nTheft\/Robbery|12 to 24 hours|500 bail + gold equal to stolen items\nVandalism|12 hours|Pay for repairs, one day of community service\nForgery|6 hours|500gp\nDesecration|6 hours |500gp, one day of community service to temple\nJay walking|No hours|50gp\nDisturbing the Peace|6 hours|150gp\nBar Brawls|6 hours|300gp plus paying for your share of the damages\nStreaking|6 hours|150gp\nContempt of Court|6 hours|No bail\nTrespassing|6 hours|100gp[\/table]\n\n<b>Parole and Weapon Restriction<\/b>\nParole is served simply by being scryed on by the police for the duration of your parole. Weapon restriction is accomplished by wearing a bracelet provided by the OmniShop. This bracelet prevents you from using any aggressive magic or drawing weapons ((Aggressive magic includes harmful or unlawful uses of any magic)) The bracelet also prevents you from attempting to harm the bracelet directly or indirectly. These weapon restricting bracelets are made of adamantine and are unable to be taken off normally by anyone other than a police officer.\n\n<b>Internal Discipline<\/b>\nOfficers who are discovered to be neglectful or willfully derelict in their duty will be subject to disciplinary action. Infractions last for 1 month, and on officer who commits two infractions within a month will have his\/her badge taken away, his\/her powers as an officer revoked, and be asked to leave the force.\n<\/details>\n\n<b>To Report A Crime <\/b>\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nPlease LINK to the thread where the crime was committed. We play this as real time, so if you enter the building after the crime, all you can do is collect evidence\/statements to prove the crime. Anyone may collect evidence and report crimes.\n\n((To Link,\n1. Copy the address line <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp\/\">http:\/\/www.giantitp<\/a>...\n2. Paste in the post\n3. Place the [*url*] tag in front and [*\/url*] at the end of the address.\n4.

A police officer will receive weekly pay of 100gp, weapons (of your choice), weapon repair, and riot gear, a desk at the station, and room and board in the station barracks should they want to.\nSenior Officers receive pay of 150gp each week, have authority over all normal officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters should the captain be off duty.\nCaptains recieve pay of 200gp each week and have authority over all officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters.\n\nThe force is divided into two departments, the Patrol and the Wardens.\nThe Patrol consist of those who are paid for detective work, town patrol duty, and a quick response team to back up citizens in reported fights.\nThe Wardens are made up of the people who jail and guard criminals, take care of legal and diplomatic matters, and scry on those people serving parole.\nEach department has a separate Captain and a Senior Officer.\n\nThe badges given to the police act as badges of Trueseeing, and allow the police officer to contact any other badge-wearer with telepathy. They can either be pinned on, or aligned with the body's magnetic field to simply hold onto the wearer.\nTo be sworn in, you must first pass an alignment test. We accept no officers with Chaotic or Evil alignments. Once this test has been passed, the potential officer must answer the following questions in the affirmative:\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nDo you swear to uphold the law in this town?\n\nDo you promise to obey the rules of the police as noted on page 1 of the police station thread?\n\nDo you swear to the best of your ability to track and record crimes as well as apprehend and arrest criminals?\n<\/details>\n\n\nOur motto:\nTO PROTECT AND SERVE THE GOOD CITIZENS OF TOWN.\n\n<b>Officers of the Force<\/b>\n<b>Warden Officers<\/b>\n{table]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/member.php?u=14352\">Captain Verdandi<\/a>|A dandy officer if we ever had one, but don't think you can handle her just because she's pretty.

The City of Salia

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"J_Muller","timestamp":"2007-03-19T01:49:00","value":"Nestled in the north end of the desert to the east of The Town lies one of the farthest-flung cities of the Grand Republic of Modallia. Rising as a low mound where the desert meets the dry hills is the windswept, dusty town of Salia, a burgeoning city of 100,000 people.\n\n Salia is built inside a bowl of rock that rises from the desert, believed to have been the site of a lake when the desert was less arid. Now, under the clear blue desert sky, the dry crags of rock that form the walls of the bowl enclose a city of the lithe, mountain-dwelling humans of Modallia.\n\n In the semi-arid land surrounding the city, farmers ply the rich but dry soil to grow crops such as wheat and corn. An ingenious irrigation system supplies the outlying farms with water from the spring that provides the city with water.\n\n Cut into the rocky mound at ground level are mineshafts, where miners descend into the rock to haul out the precious ores that lie beneath the mound. The raw ores are taken from the mines to the large stone structures clinging to the rock near the mineshafts, where they are purified and smelted into ingots to be used in the production of all manner of goods. Some of the ingots are then shipped out of the city, while others are sent to factories near the mines to be made into finished goods there.\n\n The main way to enter the city is through the road that has been cut through the south face of the bowl, through what was previously a large mound of dry dirt. The level access this road provides to caravans and the like lead through the main gates, standing open as they always are.\n\n Upon entering through the gates, travelers will find themselves in the city\u2019s economic district. Carved into the rock itself are storerooms and warehouses, and market stalls line the streets, selling goods shipped in from the Grand Republic\u2019s many holdings. Merchant houses rise farther in, doing business on a larger scale. The familiar bustle of a marketplace fills the air during the daytime, as the Modallians do business.\n\n The residential district is next. Here, many buildings appearing less than five stories tall conceal as much room again underground. To the left and right rise huge rocky points, curving slightly into overhangs, which have been wholly transformed into living spaces for thousands of Modallians, the towering rocks intermeshed with structures of wood and metal clinging to them like insects. The rocks are hollowed out into tunnels but still structurally sound, the skill of the Modallians allowing them to use the rocks without significantly compromising their integrity. The majority of Modallians here live in stone or brick houses, as wood must be imported. In Salia only the richer merchants live in wooden houses.\n\n Past the residential district lies the heart of the city\u2014Fort Salia. A large, brown stone construction, it sits at the opposite end of the city from the entrance, presiding over a sheer cliff. A combination military fortification and commercial airship docks, the left and right ends of the structure are unused by the military since the end of the Great Southern war between the Grand Republic and its neighbor Valia. Only the center is still used to dock military airships, and at present the city is host to the Southern Fleet, under Admiral Smith and his flagship the <i>Inevitable<\/i>. The fort is also home to the local garrison of the Grand Republican Army of Modallia, under the command of Lars Modal.\n\n A constant flow of airships, held aloft by the advanced Modallian lifting gas technology, steam in and out of the port, carrying passengers and cargo between this and other cities and outposts of the Grand Republic. Few travel from here to places outside the Republic, but as the city expands that may be about to change\u2026","word-count":653,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"J_Muller","timestamp":"2007-03-19T01:51:00","value":"A group of three airships, along with a merchant craft, depart for The Town.","word-count":14,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Renrik","timestamp":"2007-03-23T04:31:00","value":"Far out int eh desert, a caravan can be seen moving.

Also travelling with the goblins are their guards, several scholars seeking to learn more in the Republic, and an envoy of diplomats to spread goodwill.\n\nThe goblinoids reach the gates of the city and request entrance.","word-count":131,"index":2,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"J_Muller","timestamp":"2007-03-23T04:48:00","value":"((The gates are open.

Also, the furs intrigue them, and they buy many with the intention of sending them north to the other cities of the Grand Republic as luxury goods.\n\nSince Salia is primarily geared for industry, there are only a few small institutions of higher learning, teaching the advanced mathematics and engineering that Modallians are skilled at. The universities are open to everyone, though if there are orcs they will encounter distrust, as the Grand Republic has frequently come into conflict with aggressive orcs on their borders.\n\nThe city hall is across a square from Fort Salia. A stone building expanded on using wood, it is where the local council meets, presided over by the city's mayor. The goblin diplomats are welcomed and in short time brought to see the mayor.

They express interest in establishing a small commercial airship facility in Federation lands to serve as a waypoint for airships, and some offer to part with some old, but reliable, cargo airships. Crew may be a problem, as Modallians will have to be used due to goblin unfamiliarity with Modallian airship technology, but goblins can be used in minor positions until they learn the skills necessary to crew a Modallian airship. There are also several startup mining operations the goblins might be able to purchase stock in.\n((Well, if it's broken in two, they don't really have that much chance of repairing it... might as well sell it for scrap.

They do so, as well as invest in the mining companies. They also suggest the formation of a new trading company run jointly by some of the Federation and Modallian merchants, working to bring the two markets together and get better profits.\n\nThe goblin diplomats talk with theleaders of Salia for some time over he course of a few days before they must move on to spread goodwill to other cities, and take off again.","word-count":143,"index":10,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"J_Muller","timestamp":"2007-03-25T23:41:00","value":"((How is that?

The cultivation of it. The products made from it.\n\nShe has countless billions of worshippers spread across the various planes of existance. There are three avatars solely devoted to rice: The Traveller, Myobi, and Daikiniten.\n\nWe are her children. Inari created foxes to watch over the grain and eat the birds and rodents that would destroy the sacred plant. Kitsune are her especial messengers: sacred foxes endowed with the ability to take on human or elvish form.\n\nWerefoxes arose from the Iron Woods, when the great wolf Fenrir dwelt there with his mother. She experimented with various canid animals: jackals, foxes, hyenas... All of us are descended from the great wolf, and therefore from Loki himself. We are accepted by Inari due to our vulpine heritage. Myobu is the avatar of foxes.\n\nAfter a large group of us migrated from Hel's domain to the Plane of Shadow, we took on the characteristics of that plane. Thousands of years of living there made us a distinct sub-species: the shadow-foxes. I am the avatar of the shadow-foxes.\n\nInari is an agricultural and racial goddess. She is concerned predominantly with nurturing and growth. She is good, but it is the quiet good of the countryside rather than the formalized good of high society. We don't go on crusades. We don't try to win converts or convince people to change their beliefs. We don't really feel a conflict with \"evil\" beings at all, unless they threaten us directly.\n\nFinally, since rice is a critical component in many economies across the multiverse, she is revered as a goddess of wealth and prosperity as well.\n<\/details>","word-count":342,"index":54,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Chaotic Bob","timestamp":"2007-03-03T03:28:00","value":"Xeni walks over to the buffet table, examining all the various foods.

That, as is common, is also the name of the earldom in which it resides: the seat of my family. The earldom is in the northeast of the kingdom of Balnaroth, which is itself a domain of Ravenloft: the demi-plane and godly domain of the Dark Powers. Ravenloft is itself a portion of the Plane of Shadows.\n\nWe are here because I am the oldest son of the Earl of Norlath. I have had a long history of escaping this place and defying the Dark Powers. They have always taken it poorly, and for a long time simply tried to kill me. The time came, however, that my abilities reached the point that they became more interested in acquiring me than killing me.\n\nThey have been increasing their efforts, with a climax recently of them sending a major force to attack us at the temple. The attack, however, was merely a distraction as their real goal was to make us into a new domain here. We foiled the plot after much effort, but they have not given up.\n\nNow, too many cooincidences have occurred: my father has died, which makes me the new Earl. There was an attack on my children, who were visiting: leaving two of them dead. And the attack was led by my brother, Fendran. Fendran and his accomplices were trying to get me to come here, so that I can be trapped.\n\nI could have sent someone to resurrect the children - although chances are very good that envoy would have been attacked. Regardless: I have to be here personally to settle the earldom.\n\nBut I am not so easy to trap as all that! We have a plan...

The Temple of Inari XL

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Fenric","timestamp":"2007-03-20T00:54:00","value":"You have entered the temple of Inari, in her capacity as the Goddess of Foxes.\n\nYou walk down an elegant white gravel pathway between full-grown pines. Stone lanterns provide a pure white light to the path, while casting elegant shadows among the trees.\n\nAt the end of the pathway, a bright red gate stands. A large fox carved from white alabaster gleams at each side of the gate. As you pass between the foxes and through the gate, you feel the presence of the goddess. Gentle and caring, but mischievous and lighthearted, you are never quite certain what will happen.\n\nPast the exquisite formal gardens, you finally step into the pagoda itself. There, at the end of chamber is a raised dais. There rests a statue of a beautiful werefox woman, flanked by two snow-white celestial foxes. Offerings of rice and incense stand before the statue.\n\nIn a niche off to the right side of the door sits a Fox-Cola vending machine. Next to the coin slot, the sign reads \"10 cp\";.\n\nTo the left side of the door is a magic mirror. This mirror is actually a portal to Trog's Tavern.\n\n<b>Temple Map<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/NewTempleMap.gif\"\/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/TempleUnderground.gif\"\/>\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Temple View<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i58.photobucket.com\/albums\/g265\/ttstocks\/Temple.gif\"\/>\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Profile for Inari<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\nAlignment: Chaotic Good\nPrimary Domains: Good, Plant, Chaos, Healing\nSecondary Domains: Magic, Sun, Animal, Trickery, Knowledge, Water\nForbidden Domains: Evil, Law, War, Death, Destruction\n\nGoddess of the cultivation and growth of rice, including rice products. This gives her minor coverage for fertility. She is also the racial goddess of foxes, werefoxes, and kitsune.\n\nPriest Granted Powers\n\nRice Paddy: Once per day\nAs Entangle, but the ground changes to knee-deep mud, and instead of creepers, mature rice plants twist and writhe to grapple anything in the area.\n\nSushi Bar: Once per day\nYou create rice, fish, and sake. You can create enough to feed one medium sized creature for each two caster levels.\n\nSummon Celestial Fox: Special\nYou summon an image of Myobi (if you are a priestess) or Myobu (if you are a priest). The fox has HD equal to your level plus your wisdom bonus. In combat, the fox fights the same as a normal fox, but with appropriate bonuses for HD.\n\nCumulative Fox Abilities\n{table=\"Head\"]Priest Level|Times per Day|Special\n1|1|Fight, scout, and Cure Minor Wounds\n3|2|Cure Light Wounds\n5|3|Status\n7|4|Magic Circle Against Evil\n9|4|Cure Serious Wounds[\/table]\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Temple Facilities<\/b>\n\nEverything but the Sanctuary and Garden has Dimensional Lock. The entire facility is Hallowed as per the spell with the Bless effect. A permanent Flame Quench (the reversed form of the 2nd edition Fire Storm spell) is on in a quiescent form on all the buildings. It can be triggered by any full priest.\n\n- Sanctuary: the main sanctuary has the altar. This is where you must pray to speak to the goddess directly. There is a general magic circle in the center of the room. Next to the magic circle is a laurel tree that has grown into the structure of the building. This tree is sentient and contains the soul of Fenric's brother, Fendran. It can extend vine tendrils and cast shadow mysteries as a 10th level wizard\/10th level shadowcaster\/10th level noctumancer.\n\n- Meditation Gardens: accessed through a door at the far end of the sanctuary. This is a standard zen garden with raked gravle, shady nooks, picturesque pines, stone lanterns, and small intricate bridges. An artifical stream hosts large koi, and a grand cherry tree resides on a picturesque island in the middle of a good sized pond.\n\n- Priest's Quarters: accessed by going down the stairs \"halfway down the sanctuary, to the right\", which leads to a covered pathway (technically under the garden).\n\n- <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=31471\">Summoning chamber<\/a>\n<b>Priests<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n\nChairman and High Priest: Exachix NorZilliar(PC)\n\nCouncil of Head Priests\n{table]Head of Services|&lt;vacancy&gt;\nHead of Clerics|Atreyu, The Masked Llama (PC)\nHead of Accounts|Valathe (PC, Hoseki)\nHead of Healers|&lt;vacancy&gt;\nHead of Facilities|Hachiro (NPC)\nSecretary|Anna (PC, seftsirag)[\/table]Priests\n\nAramir (PC, Kyrian\/Ares)\nRain (PC)\nAikidu (PC, guest cleric: not a priest of Inari)\nVoxendi (PC, Gezina)\n<\/details>\n\n<b>Knight Defenders of the Faith<\/b><details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n\nThis is a prestige class developed with the help of Fenric, Earin, Kantur, Planeshifter, Rilik, Exachix, and Psionic Devotee.

The Ruined City of Ala'rma [Plot, kinda]

[{"from":"Saurous","timestamp":"2007-02-22T23:53:00","value":"Several miles north of the town rests the remains of a massive elven city. The buildings that haven't been torn down rise high into the air. Small animals skitter around the ruins, looking for things to eat. The city seems to be built in a circular shape around the tallest building, a white spire that rises hundreds of feet above the ground. The spire has been gutted, with holes in it's outer wall. Monsters perch in these holes, primarily demons.\n\n\nA gaseous cloud floats toward the spire, entering a hole near the top. It floats nonchalantly down a hallway. It reaches a large door, compressing and moving in through a crack between the two doors. The room is almost church-like. A mirror rests at the opposite wall. The cloud floats in the air for a few moments, and then begins changing shape. It shifts in the air, changing into a solid form. If finishes, turning into a man with grey hair and pale skin. He is dressed in red armor, and has sharp teeth. He walks calmly over to the mirror, kneeling down before it. He holds this position for what seems like hours. Then, the mirror turns black, and a pair of eyes come into view on the mirror. A voice comes from the mirror.\n\n<span style=\"color:purple\"><b>What knave needs to speak with me? I'm busy!<\/b><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\">It is Chartix, Lord Erythnul.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:purple\"><b>Ah, one of my milions of clerics. So, what do you have for me, Chartix?<\/b><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\">Reh'san has contacted us. He says that he has taken the book you requested. He has also discovered the Enemy's guild. It is located in a town about three hundred miles south of here.<\/span>\n\nThe two remain silent for a few moments, and then Erythnul speaks again.\n\n<span style=\"color:purple\"><b>Well, what is this town?<\/b><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:red\">That's just it, Lord. The Town.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:purple\"><b>Well, I guess you cannot give them points for originality. As for the Enemy, he must be destroyed. He has come to far to be allowed to live. Go, my follower, go and remove this nuisance.<\/b><\/span>\n\nThe vampire stands, keeping his head low. A smile creeps across his pure white face.\n\n<span style=\"color:red\">Should I kill <i>everyone<\/i>? His guild has grown quite the bit, and any one of them could be helping him.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:purple\"><b>Did I not make it clear enough? <i>Everyone<\/i>. Spare no one. Take who you believe will be needed.<\/b><\/span>\n\nThe god's prescence then leaves the room, and the mirror retains it's original silvery color. Chartix exits the room, heading for the hole he entered through. A pair of more human-looking vampires come behind him, and then a Vrock. Chartix shifts into the shape of a bat, and the Vampire Spawn turn into gaseous clouds. The vrock takes off behind them. They fly in the direction of Town.\n\n&lt;Dun Dun Dunnnn!&gt;\n\n((Note: Since I'm going to be the only one posting here for a while, expect to see several double- or even triple-posts))","word-count":494,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Xaspian","timestamp":"2007-02-22T23:55:00","value":"((Oooooooooooo!))","word-count":1,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User1"},{"from":"Nevrmore","timestamp":"2007-02-22T23:56:00","value":"((I call palgiarism on the spire that houses demons!

Just in time to almost be scalped by a giant bat flying over head. The figure ducks down, and the bat continues flying forward, heading torwards the central spire. He slides down the top of the pointed roof, landing lightly on the floor below. He looks around, noticing that he is on the upper porch of a tower-like building. A bridge connects the circular porch to another, larger building. This building branches out to three other similar buildings, and also to the center spire. The figure ducks behind the building, and come back out looking somewhat like a reddish, demon-like creature. He walks down the bridge nonchalantly, trying to avoid any other creatures. He reaches the central spire, and then walks down a large flight of stairs down to ground-level. He ducks into a shack. The shack is completely empty, and looks like it had been ransacked many weeks, even months before. He sits down in the shadows, keeping out of sight from the door.\n\n_______________________________________________\n\nThe next afternoon, the cloaked figure walks over to a long-forgotten table in the room. He lays out a book, looking through it. He pulls the hood off of his head, revealing Saurous' red eyes, black hair, and pointed ears. He sits there for a moment, paging through the book.\n_______________________________________________\n\nA while later, Saurous closes the book and pulls his hood back over his head. He opens the door to the outside and heads out, keeping out of sight. He heads for a large, church-like building. He enters the building, keeping to the shadows. The room is filled with varying humanoid creatures, including humans, elves, vampires, and others. Saurous keeps to the shadows, watching the going-ons.\n\nA while later, Saurous shouts as a beeping noise comes from his pocket. He rushes quickly out of the church, heading back for the shack he was in earlier. The people in the room look in the direction of the noise, and then turn back to their rituals. He sits down in the shadows of the room, pulling out a small stone. The stone glows black, and is making the beeping noise.","word-count":364,"index":7,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Saurous","timestamp":"2007-02-28T01:44:00","value":"Saurous' stone opens, revealing an image of Pelgof. The two have a conversation, and Saurous puts the stone away. He heads over to the desk, pulling out his notebook\/journal.

All the while, he keeps one eye on the doorway.\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/div>\nThe next afternoon, Saurous heads out of the shack, wearing a disguise that makes him look like one of the many vampires around. He heads for the center spire.\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">***\n <\/div><div style=\"text-align: left;\">Several hours later, after an explosion and shouting, Saurous rushes from the spire, moving almost unbelievably fast. He looks very dishoveled, and is flinging spells behind him. The disguise is starting to fall apart, also. A pair of vampire spawn follow behind him. They don't seem to be trying to attack him, but seem to be following him. Several Vrocks fly out after them, screeching. Saurous looks back, and then leaps over the side of the balcony. He lands lightly on the ground below, and enters a nearby building. The spawn follow after him, ducking into the building behind him. The Vrocks fly past the building, heading down the street.\n\nInside the building, Saurous looks around to see a long-forgotten home. It is in a tower shape, and has a large set of stairs in the back of the room. He sits down at a chair, and pulls out a similar stone from the other day.\n\nAfter a while, he puts the stone away, and turns to the spawn tapping on his shoulder. The spawns are obviously under Saurous' control, and they have a dull, black look in their eyes. The other is looking out the window, looking for any demons.\n\n<span style=\"color:darkslateblue\">Alright, let's go.<\/span>\n\nHe runs up the stairway, and the vampires follow. He rushes into a side room, ducking into the shadows. The vampires shift into gaseous forms and stick to the darker edges of the rooms.

They're basically glorified bounty hunters. When a prisoner escapes their sentence, and leaves the area, the Marshals are called to bring 'em back, dead or alive. The common method tends to be dead.\"<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:navy\">\"I've read their so-called rulebook.

I know, it doesn't happen that often, but when I saw those uniforms, I KNEW I was in trouble. I couldn't let myself get captured, even for questionin'. It doesn't take these fellas long to kill you, believe me. Besides, she's a freakin' valkyrie. I wouldn't have shot 'er if I didn't think she could take it.\"<\/span>\n\nJackie sighs. <span style=\"color:darkgreen\">\"So, what now?

First things first, I need to get healed. Inari's is prob'ly the best place for that. Then, I need to kill the Marshals.\"<\/span><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:darkred\">\"Why, Mr. Kenyon? Why not just lay low until they leave?\"<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:navy\">\"'Cause they're not stupid. They KNOW I'm alive. And if they don't find me, it's because the town won't give me up. So, when they leave, they're gonna come back. With more men. And they're not gonna worry about havin' to obey local laws and crap then. Even with the gods backin' the town up, there's gonna be deaths. Lots of 'em.

He buys a stale piece of bread for lunch and watches something that happens on the deck of the Black Ship and frowns a bit as he eats. Then he returns to looking for honest work.\n\nBut after it becomes apparent that he isn't going to get any work here he heads towards Trog's.\n\n-------------------------------\n\nEric walks into the docks and goes down an alley way where there are three men waiting for him. <span style=\"color:darkorange\">Right so this job?<\/span> \"Simple in and out.

As darkness sets over the docks he makes his move. He heads quietly and hidden by several boxes towards the front of the ship. He makes the jump towards the anchor rope and grabs it. He sits there for a second to make sure no one heard him.\n\nHe climbs up the rope and swings foward grabing the edge of the ship. His fingers barely finding any holds in the side of the ship Eric slowly makes his way up. After what seems like hours to him he reaches the edge and peers over. As he thought the only watch was watching the gang planks and he quietly slipped up onto the deck of the ship.\n\nEric then makes his way towards the rear of the ship hiding behind crates and masts to avoid detection. He quietly slips into the captians quarters. He doesn't close the door compleatly. He moves quietly around the room carefully listening to breathing of the sleeping capatin.\n\nHe finds a small vault behind a painting. He shakes his head at the unorginality of the hiding spot and pulls out two pieces of wire. Within seconds he gets the vault open and reaches in and grabs out a book wraped in water resistant cloth. Unfortently this sets of the alarm spell and the captian sits up and spots Eric and yells out for the crew.\n\nEric bolts for the door and slams his shoulder into it, sending the slightly open door slamming into a crewmembers face and onto his arse. Eric slams his elbow into another crew members face and pushes him away and runs up onto the deck.\n\nHis first few steps on the deck he sees two men that were on watch with crossbows out. He throws the dagger he just took off one of the crew members belt at the closest one and quickly dodges to the side as they fire at him. The dagger sinks into the mans arm and prevents him from reloading his crossbow as fast as the other one was doing. Eric makes a dash across the deck and spots the man fire another bolt at him.\n\nHe spins and tries to dodge it but it sinks into his stomach and he falls back against the railing and falls over the edge.

The occasional cry could be heard from the boats dotted amongst the waves, or one that was preparing to depart. A stray cat, trotting down the docks, glanced out onto the horizon, and then, as if something was suddenly visible, turned and walked away at a quicker pace. The entire scene was suddenly lit as the sun tore through the clouds in a desperate attempt to somehow prevail; and in that second, the schooner was seen.\nIt was two-masted, and showed signs of use. The bowsprit was broken off at the end,, and there were several dents on the left side. The mainsail seemed to have been torn nearly in two, but was stitched back together sloppily, though adequately. The men aboard it were working quickly; one man, in particular, dressed in a white working shirt, a rag that was wrapped around his head, and black pants which ended tucked into black boots, seemed to be the one controlling them. He walked with a menacing air down the deck, surveying each man with the look a vulture gives its half-dead prey. Between glances, he would take the time to turn and shout at another man, with an intensity and violence in his tone that would seem to be unmatched by any who listened to him.\nThen the sun, overwhelmed by the great, thick, billowy clouds, ceased its light, and the ship turned barely visible. Though aboard it, the orders continued, until everyone aboard was involved in some kind of job. The man nodded his head, the corners of his mouth twitching up in a small smile for a moment, then falling down again. There were several sudden \u201cthud\u201ds, and near everyone in the crew took a few seconds to stare at the hatch leading into the lower chambers of the ship. The man winced; a reflex, but it seemed meaningful somehow. The hatch swung open, wood crashing into deck; a hand had struck it. There was a long scar across the palm, running down to the index finger, which was severed at the knuckle. It gripped the side of the deck, and, with near effortless strength, a man pulled himself up.\nHe was wearing a black tricorne and grimacing, as he pulled himself up to a standing position. One of his eyes was sewn shut; dried blood covered most of the lid. A long, gray beard, matted and dirty, hung from his chin. He was wearing a dark blue vest, and over that a navy jacket, just managing to obscure the bronze hilt of a rapier, sheathed in black wood. The edges of his sleeves were torn, and he wore gray pants, the ends of which are tucked into thick black boots. He stood with a menacing air, looking both wary and calm. The crew watched him with apprehension, and he glanced about at the upturned faces, lips slowly curling up into a scornful scowl. The other man turned, expression blank, and nodded acknowledgment. <span style=\"color:#54c571\">\u201dYour ship, cap\u2019n.\u201d<\/span>\nThe captain promptly roared at both the boatswain and the men. <span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dGet to your jobs, you dogs!\u201d<\/span> They promptly, out of fear, it seemed, turned and began to resume what they had been doing the moment before he had arrived. The boatswain stood in the same position, though his quavering eyes betrayed his fear. The captain snorted and turned on his heel to face a young man standing behind him. <span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dYes, mate.\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"color:darksalmon\">\u201dSir, there\u2019s a crack\u2019in the keel.\u201d<\/span> The captain rubbed his beard where it met his chin. <span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dThe reef?\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"color:darksalmon\">\u201dSir.\u201d<\/span>\nHe turned and, with a keen eye, looked at the docks and the shore on the horizon.

We\u2019ll make for shore.\u201d<\/span> The mate, seeming relieved by the captain\u2019s calm answer, turned and quickly climbed down into the chambers through the hatch. The captain chuckled, amused, then turned and called out,\n<span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dAhead, now...we\u2019re going ashore, men. Turn \u2018er leeward.\u201d<\/span> The men paused to look at him, then, shouting to one another, began to furiously follow the captain\u2019s orders. With another chuckle, the captain turned, letting the boatswain direct them from there.\n\nThe schooner was docked two and a half hours from then. As mates tightened ropes, and others quickly furled up the sails, a man, dressed in white, less ragged clothing, wearing spectacles, and carrying a small book, came up from the hatch. The captain glanced backwards and chuckled. <span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dSo you\u2019ve joined us, doctor.\u201d<\/span> \u2018Doctor\u2019 looked at the captain irritably. <span style=\"color:navy\">\u201dI\u2019ve decided to, and to ask as to why we\u2019ve gone ashore.\u201d<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:#e42217\">\u201dHmm. Well, the keel\u2019s a mite banged up, so we\u2019ve decided to look about for a carpenter, see\u2019f there\u2019s anyone in this hole\u2019t can get <i>Flagg<\/i> on the seas.\u201d<\/span>\nDoctor looked partly offended, then shook his head. <span style=\"color:navy\">\u201dAlright.

Seems we\u2019re going to find a <i>carpenter.<\/i>\u201d<\/span> He used the word disgustedly, making the captain snort. The boatswain, or Kelly, it seemed, called back, laughing. <span style=\"color:#54c571\">\u201dHa, still haven\u2019t found someun\u2019 in need of your talents, eh doc?\u201d<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:navy\">\u201dDamned, get down here!\u201d<\/span> Was the annoyed reply.\nKelly strolled down the schooner onto the docks with a whistle.

Mist Spire III

[{"from":"AmberVael","timestamp":"2007-03-19T07:17:00","value":"Tucked away in the corner of the astral plane there is demiplane. This demiplane is Aesa's planar realm.\nThough small, it contains a variety of terrain. There is a small wood, a lake covered with mist, foothills and the small mountain on which her tower has been built. A path leads up the mountain to Aesa's tower.\nThe realm is obviously real, but something about it seems insubstantial and not quite there. The feeling that you will simply wake up from a dream, or that you will pass through the ground, is easily ignored or forgotten, but never overcome. Its quite a pervasive and insistant sensation.\nStorms and lightning continually flicker in the background, and a thin mist coils about the surface of the entire plane, adding to its surreal quality. The plane maintains a constant, cool breeze and slightly chilly temperature.\nAnyone venturing here who has earned Aesa's ire or comes in an unwelcome fashion may find that the lightning is not just in the background, and that the mist is more than just a whispy thing around their feet.\nFurthermore, the shadowy, illusory nature of the plane means that Aesa can simply make it not exist... for selected people. It also allows her easy change over what the plane is like.\nThe tower itself is fairly small, but not crampt.\n\nAesa has now opened up her plane for mercenary buisness. Aesa takes <i>any<\/i> jobs that she feels inclined to take, ranging from tracking to assassination.\n\nThere is a portal that connects the first floor of Aesa's tower to the streets, and there is a sign next to it that reads:\n<b>MIST SPIRE-\nHome of Aesa, Diviner, Assassin and Mercenary for hire.\nInquire inside.<\/b>\n\nBASEMENT: This area is connected to a small network of catacombs that lead to numerous places of interest. A few of these are Aesa's summoning chamber, her vault where Zchiz is now kept, and a training room.\n\nFLOOR 1: The first floor contains a desk, a large number of chairs around a table, a fireplace, and is in general a 'welcome' area.\n\nFLOOR 2: The second floor is a small but comprehensive library.\n\nFLOOR 3: This floor is reserved fro the private quarters. As of the moment, there are five bedrooms, a kitchen, and a small living area.\n\nFLOOR 4: The literal top of the tower. You are outside on this floor, and can see the entire plane. Apparently it is a good vantage point for throwing lightning bolts at things.\n\nThere is also a connected but somehow separate portion of the plane that is an eternally lit field of white, blue, and yellow flowers. This part of the plane is normally inaccesable.","word-count":448,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Kyrian","timestamp":"2007-03-19T07:19:00","value":"<div class=\"quote\">\n<cite>Originally Posted by Vael<\/cite>\n<blockquote>Aesa puts her hands on her hips and watches him, smirking.\n<span style=\"color:purple\">This is a normal situation for me.

The Home of Minds [The Slums]

[{"from":"Saurous","timestamp":"2007-03-21T01:08:00","value":"While only given it's name by the locals, it is a well-earned name. The building, a large, run-down, 3-story building in the slums, gives off an odd psionic power. It causes causes headaches and confusion to weaker-minded creatures, and causes uncomfortability in stronger people. The building itself is not quite the sight. Several of the windows are boarded up, and the windows that aren't are blackened and dark.\n\nInside, it is a bit less underwhelming. The inside is dark, but surprisingly clean and organized. The main room is apparently somewhere between a living room and a kitchen. An illithid is kneeled on the floor near a person's kneeling body. The illithid stands up, bringing a piece of greyish matter up to his mouth. He gulps it down, and then \"smiles\" wickedly.\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i><b>Now that that is finished...<\/b><\/i><\/span>\n\nThe hashness leaves the illithid's (Ctrazt's) face, and a worm-like creature leaps from his neck. Ctrazt looks around the room.\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>What's going on?<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:green\">You're sitting in the middle of my home, Illithid.<\/span>\n\nCtrazt looks up, and notices a man standing on the staircase. The man is dressed in elegant clothing, completely opposite of the area he is currently living in.\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>Um...Ulitharid, actually...<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:green\">I don't really care. What really matters is your purpose here. I'm sure you've become acquainted with the Puppeteer there.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>Puppeteer...?<\/i><\/span>\n\nHe looks around, and his eyes rest on the creature that just slithered off him.\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>You! You're the one working with those Barghests!<\/i><\/span>\n\nHe raises a hand to fling the creature out the window, but finds that he can't.\n\n<span style=\"color:green\">'Fraid you won't be doing that. We've managed to suppress you're psionics. You'll be helping us, actually.<\/span>\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>You're working for them, too, aren't you?!<\/i><\/span>\n\nCtrazt pulls out his bladed staff, and swings the staff at the man. It passes through him.\n\n<span style=\"color:green\">'Fraid you won't be doing that, either.<\/span>\n\nThe man's image disappears, revealing an odd, green, formless creature. An Unbodied.\n\n<span style=\"color:green\"><i>Now, as I was saying, you will be helping us.<\/i><\/span>\n\nCtrazt suddenly lifts off the ground, apparently against his will, and floats there for a moment. The Puppeteer craws off the table, and somehow gets onto Ctrazt.\n\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>Can you atleast tell me what's going on?<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:green\"><i>Why, get rid of Illithids, of course.<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:indigo\"><i>...okay, you lost me.<\/i><\/span>\n<span style=\"color:green\"><i>Oh, forget it. I'll explain it when the Dolor and Pyn return. Until then, you just take a nap, and let the Puppeteer do everything.<\/i><\/span>\n\nThe worm-thing climbs to Ctrazt's neck, and clamps down. Ctrazt calms, and is dropped to the floor. Ctrazt stands, and walks over to a chair. He sits, and closes his eyes.

The front is marked by a waiste high hedge of evergreens, but the back opens up on green grassland. The woods can be seen somewhere in the distance.\nA small cobblestone path leads up to the entrance of Dragon Manor. A second path forks from the first and runs around the left side, where the stable doors are.\nThe square building, 75 feet along the baseline, is two stories high, but a tower on the far left corner rises another one and a half stories above the rooftop. The groundfloor walls are crafted from sturdy granite with tall, slender windows every five feet, the glasspanes framed in finely wrought cast-iron. In contrast to this the first floor is build from shining alabaster and the windowframes are made of an elegant dark wood. On the left, the roof running from the tower to the front is flat with three crystalline cupolas in a row that scatter the sunlight everywhere whereas the rest of the building is topped by a slanting black slated roof.\nThree small stairs climb up to a two-winged door which is carved from oakwood. The carvings show the slender forms of elves and dragons that are entangled in an intricate pattern. The scene appears like a dance frozen in mid-motion, but when you look close enough the wooden figures seem to move, very, very slowly.\nAs you step into the building, you stand in the main hall but your view is obscurred by a heavy red velvet curtain. The door to your left leads into the stable. When you turn right through a wall opening that is partly covered by another dark red curtain you enter the huge parlour. The room runs across two stories and takes up more than a quarter of the whole building. A gallery runs along the east and south wall on the first floor. You can reach this balustrade with a spiral staircase in the south-west corner of the room. Merry flames are emanating heat from a marble fireplace.\n\nThis is, where guests are recieved.\n<\/details>\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">***<\/div>\nBefore Landaro leaves to go back into the main town area, to get his old belongings and to equip his new home he leaves a note at the door for Liana:\n\n\"I'll be back later, I would welcome your presence ths afternoon!\"\n\nThen he shuts the door and heads for the streets of the town.","word-count":717,"index":245,"from-alternative":"User4"},{"from":"Landaro","timestamp":"2007-03-03T22:16:00","value":"(( Dragon manor has been relocated!

The Homunculus Farm

Free Form Roleplaying

[{"from":"Nevrmore","timestamp":"2007-03-25T21:20:00","value":"It resides right on the edge where The Town would meld into The Countryside. The barn is larger than a normal barn, but not so much that it would seem terribly conspicuous. What is conspicuous, however, is the fact that the abrn exists, yet the farmland around it is completely devoid of vegetation. This strange building can't be abandonned, though, since it has a nice, new coat of paint and a sign hanging from the day that says \"We're Open.\"\n\nThe first thing a person notices upon stepping inside is the absolutely horrible smell, one that would make anyone with a weak stomach gag their stomachs out. Anyone who can ignore that, however, would notice a few more things: About ten feet from the entrance is a desk where a tall, lanky man awaits you. He is young and bags adorn his eyes, but he seems utterly unaffected by the powerful stench.\n\nSpeaking of, you might also realize where this stench is coming from: Behind the man are dozens of large piles of manure (horse manure, to be precise) adorning the floor. On the walls are various shelves which have items kept in jars ranging from bones, what appears to be skin fragments, and strange white fluid that is anyone's guess as to what it could be. The assorted jars have strips of paper taped to them with different animal names on each.\n\nMost peculiar, however, is the pen at the Southeast corner of the barn, where it appears that miniature people, only about a foot tall, are running around and playing.\n\nThis is the Homunculus Farm.\n----------------------------------------\nAdvertisements!!\n\n\"Want a pet? How about a slave? Maybe just a friend to call your own? Come down to the Homunculus Farm where we create little people in only the most traditional of ways and sell them for very reasonable prices. Don't trust those off-kilter mages who say they can summon you up little people with spells. Remember; If they aren't made from shet, then the maker's full of shet.\"\n\nThe Homunculus Farm will also buy any ingredients for making homunculi (bones, skin, semen, or horse manure) with prices varying depending on the quantity offered.","word-count":363,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Nevrmore","timestamp":"2007-03-25T23:26:00","value":"The man at the counter sighs, lighting up a smoke.\n\n\"<span style=\"color:royalblue\">Slow day...<\/span>\" He says, a german accent in his voice.","word-count":21,"index":1,"from-alternative":"User0"},{"from":"Vespe Ratavo","timestamp":"2007-03-25T23:28:00","value":"Devlin walks in. <span style=\"color:red\">Hmm....little people...?

Except for the ornate wooden door, the large stone cube is free of any features. Beside that door is a sign proclaiming, \"The Followers of Salvation offer eternal life for a mere donation.\"\n\nInside, the temple is as bare as the exterior. Small stone cubes serve as seats and two 10-by-10 arrangements of the blocks on either side of the main aisle serve as seating for two-hundred. Figures cloaked in white sit on about a third of these seats, mumbling incomprehensible words under their breath. Extending three feet from the bottom of the walls except at the entrance, a bottomless pit seems to line the floor of the building. Magical lights are placed along the walls, but do nothing to penetrate the darkness immediately below them.\n\nAt the altar, a large sphere with spikes running across its surface, another white-clad follower stands at attention. This one carries a scythe with a silver shaft and an ivory blade. Its hood is open, bearing a grinning white mask that is accented with red triangles along the side of its porcelain visage. To any who meet him, he is Heldren, the high priest of this establishment, and offers \"eternal life for a simple price.\"","word-count":229,"index":0,"from-alternative":"User0"}]

[{"from":"Jacklu","timestamp":"2007-04-08T05:08:00","value":"In a large vacant lot on the edge of town A giant building suddenly appears in a storm of sponsor money and philanthropic donations. The building is BIG. It is at least seven stories high and constructed of white cement. Seen from above the building looks like a plus sign. On the front of one of the wings of the building is a large sign that reads:\n\n<blockquote>Welcome to Sacred Planes Hospital.<\/blockquote>\n\nSacred Planes is a bustling hospital (it is located in the Town after all). The four wings of the building are named after the men who either donated vast amounts of money to the hospital or are somehow directly responsible for its construction. The wings are as follows:\n\n<b>Burlew Wing:<\/b> the most modern of the wings, here you will find the most advanced medical equipment in town. From MRIs to Three Dimensional X-Ray extrapolaters. If it costs more than a small country and requires six years of college to operate, you'll find it here.\n\n<b>Sneak Wing:<\/b> Home to the less... <i>conventional<\/i> healing practices, this wing is for those who either can't afford to be treated in the Burlew wing or just like blood letting. The world famous \"stand in mashed potatoes while being beaten by a dead skunkology\" lab is located on this wing. Warning: Coming to this wing may result in complete recovery but at the same time a complete lose of your grip on reality.\n\n<b>Fizzlewinks Wing:<\/b> Named for the world class gnomish cleric, this wing caters to the magical healing methods. Members of the Town might find this the place to go when they discover their spleens have been forcibly removed by a roaming dark mage. From potions to intensive healing spells, this wing is well equipped for any emergency.\n\n\n<b>Jacklu Wing<\/b>((What? I can't name a wing after myself? Forget you!))<b>:<\/b> Located within this wing is the maternity ward, geriatric ward and children's ward. The morgue is also found on this wing. One of the biggest morgues in the world, it still overflows from time to time(this is the Town after all). Most importantly, the cafeteria is situated here. Remember, Tuesday's meatloaf day\ud83d\ude09.\n\nNow for the staff. The hospital is fully staffed to handle any emergency. The doctors and nurses here are top notch and many are leaders in their respective fields. A few however are worth noting:\n\n<details>\n<summary>Spoiler<\/summary>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i24.photobucket.com\/albums\/c22\/Jacklu\/DrDJ.gif\"\/>\n<span style=\"color:royalblue\">Dr. DJ<\/span> is an up and coming doctor. He is enthusiastic and talented and willing to go the extra mile for his patients. He has a tendency of narrating his own life but most people just ignore it.\n\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i24.photobucket.com\/albums\/c22\/Jacklu\/DrTurman.gif\"\/>\n<span style=\"color:seagreen\">Dr. Turman<\/span> is a senior doctor at the hospital. His specialty is radiology. If you want to see inside something, he's your man. Turnman is friendly and helpful, if a bit absent minded.\n\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i24.photobucket.com\/albums\/c22\/Jacklu\/DrAbode.gif\"\/>\n<span style=\"color:darkred\">Dr. Abode <\/span>is the head doctor at Sacred Planes. He may look grumpy but he's actually a condescending, insulting, arrogant, jerk. Make no mistake, he is a genius. He has made some miraculous diagnosis's in the past, granted many came after his patient had already died and been brought back to life. Don't let his limp fool you, he could and would kick your arse if you disagree with him on a diagnosis.\n\n<img src=\"http:\/\/i24.photobucket.com\/albums\/c22\/Jacklu\/NurseKathrine.gif\"\/>\n<span style=\"color:magenta\">Nurse Katherine (Kat)<\/span> is ummm..... uh... well, she doesn't really do anything... don't... uh... know why we keep her around... sorry, did you say something?

He mops the floor.\n<\/details>\n\n\nFeel free to NPC any of them as you need. Sacred Planes Hospital is now open for business!\n\nEdit: The hospital just received a fleet of sparkly new ambulances.
