Yeah, on Black Ilse's boards I was in a few, but I had to drop out due to time constrictions (basketball season, both on TV and at school). They were just a bit too fast paced. It seems like this one will be slower, more thoughtful, and generally more rich in detail, so I should be able to keep up.

Hey Durwyn,
good to see you found your way back.

@all
What do you call it when a person takes a sip from his pipe?
Or is the word sip right after all?
(my character is a heavy smoker

)

puff maybe

Magus · Post by **Magus** » Wed Oct 30, 2002 5:23 pm

Or a draw, perhaps.

@all: I'll see if I can get a post in today or tomorrow, but I have an exam tomorrow (and a paper due), so I can't make any guarantees. Regardless, I should be free Friday. The story's kind of waiting on me at this point, so I apologize.

@All: I told my character would be an interesting one...

Just think, this is the sort of thing you get to look forward too the entire story....

You're character is funny

@Arcane
No offense meant, I've been asked this before, english in't your first language is it? Well I'll help you if it isn't, it looks like you need help on speech marks, it was either you or durwyn that accidently missed them out in the last adventure once...

The lone halfling trudged across the path, looking for something.
"Com' un Gooch!" cried the gnome to the human standing in shadows, "Thi' haffar's got sumfin' 'bout him.”
“Don' be'r so shure." muttered Gooch to his partner, La.
"Com' un! Wha'rs the mattah wiv ya?” Said La anxious not to disturb the uncanny halfling
“It’s just a haffar!" Gooch muttered.

The two stepped out onto the road and Yllidan wheeled. His Halfling Staff came into view. He *did* have something about him. An aura of command perhaps, he looked fierce indeed as he stood. Gooch walked calmly at him and was brought to his knees in revelation as a Daze spell knocked him to his knees. La charged, his mace held high. A bolt of frost, icy cold, hit La in the stomach, followed closely by missiles of energy.

La fell to the ground, dead. Gooch followed soon enough, his skull cracked open by a Halfling’s Staff.

***

Yllidan stepped into the Green Griffon inn, he soon became the point of suspicion. How did halflings ever become sorcerers? A dazed looking elf, no *half*-elf, sat drinking glass after glass. The bartender was nowhere in sight. The patrons were removed from the half-elf, who seemed to be ignoring a drunk sitting next to him. Yllidan looked about and saw several figures approaching the door. He looked for a spot to hide and watch and found it under the table near the stairs.

He had no doubt of his abilities as a sorcerer but he won't use his powers unless he himself is brought into the fight.

I'm not going to change any more as that might not have been the intent, plus I'm no wizard(or sorcerer) with spelling grammar and tense(Something I think might be missing). No offense meant.

[/Edit]Whoooops

Err craig...this is the DISCUSSION thread. D-I-C-U-S-I-O-N.

If you want this post to happen, please put it in the story thread.

BTW, are you suggesting that English isn't Aegis's first language?! I don't know about that...

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Thu Oct 31, 2002 4:00 pm

No, no, no, no. I put that there because I'm discussing what Arcane posted, and I forgot to say it was Arcanes post. I even put a "|" to indicate it, I might replace it with [ i][ /i].

Well, my first language is in fact, Canadian, eh!

Yup and Discussion has an s

Aegis · Post by **Aegis** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 11:16 am

@Arcane: Umm, you realise my character is only one that pops in from time to time. Besides, He can run pretty damn fast, and a lot faster then a "haffer" can. Might be best to stick around Magus' character.

Magus · Post by **Magus** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 1:47 pm

@craig: Ah, I see. I just skimmed that part of your post, so I didn't realize it had already been posted.

I think I know what you're talking about, though. Let me dredge up an old post from the Northern Shadows Discussion Thread...

@Durwyn: Could you please use quotation marks when people are speaking? It makes it so much easier to read. Also, it's customary to start a new paragraph when the speaker changes.
Ex:
Saeril said, "No, I've never heard anything like it. Are you sure its real?"

"Two warriors, Anduin and Kilden I think, saw the bodies, hanging from the trees," said Durn.

So Arcane wasn't the perpetrator.

Anyway, we haven't had as much of a problem with quotes in this story (so far), but we could all benefit from the "new paragraph when speaker changes" rule. It's easier to keep track of who says what that way.

@Aegis
i wont be able to post frequently either (maybe twice or thrice a normal week, 4 times during the weekend at the most). what better choice than to hang around a similar person?

Yes, but that sort've ruins my character's whole point. Besides, as I had said earlier, I've come into some free time, thus won't be as in-an-out as I originally thought. But, until I get enough free time, Heresh is on his own. Besides, you still wouldn't have been able to keep up with him

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 3:19 pm

He could go 150ft in a round and yours could only go 80ft....

Rob-hin I don't think my character would be very pleased when he realises what at best could be a bard, worst a theif, is a monk!

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Why? Because of the different gods?
Or are you just kidding?

I'm confused...

Care to elaborate?

Magus · Post by **Magus** » Fri Nov 01, 2002 5:07 pm

In clarification of my post, the "cruel-looking man" is a cleric of Mask.

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 10:29 am

He's wearign studded leather, smoking a pipe, and you have a crossbow! Rojin is the sort of, clothes only type, with no other weapons or possesions.

Magus · Post by **Magus** » Sat Nov 02, 2002 11:57 am

@Craig: Only one of the spellcasters is a cleric of Mask. The other is (presumably) a wizard or a sorcerer. And the group started spread out across the room, so the (dead) archer and the two spellcasters are nowhere near each other.
