Keep heading down the path of the gutter and pretty soon you'll conceive another abomination for the DF's to fight. Moander returns, the child of Erudish and Amara, two siblings separated at birth. I suppose that makes amira family also so you can chuck the three of them in the jelly and jam fantasy room at the inn in windhaven and see what happens. Sounds like a movie I'd be happy to direct with a title I fear to utter here.

double posted. things are weird. I think I hit quote when I meant to hit edit. Sounds like the beginning of a counting with thread...

I started the new thread for characters. Everyone can go post all your characters, even the little ones. Just do one post per person (not per character), that way the posts will fit on as few pages as possible. People can copy my structure, but I just made it up, so it isn't by any means set in stone.

That kid would be really, really, really messed up. I mean, you have the one-quarter Black Orc, three-quarter Human, multi-classed druid/fighter/bard that walks around with an axe and plate mail, who leads an army bent on destroying his home which is what he wants, while stealing gold from his officers using his lute.

Not to mention the child's name would be Amish.

Z,

you said you're on Extinction in the war on the spider queen. Which book was that? I read them as they've been released so there's always been a big gap between novels. Oh never mind, it's book 4, isn't it.

The Z · Post by **The Z** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 12:17 pm

Yep, it's the one where Halisstra becomes a priestess of Eilistraee and Ryld falls for her. Book 4.

I sense it is safer out on the plains...but then how can you lock the bedroom door?

Black Orc Down?!?

@Ysh are you sure locking the door would stop him though?

Don't be bashful. We don't need to lock the door.

I was thinking more along the lines of 'all in the family' but not quite that clean of a title.

Why not a "Sanford and Son" spin off- at least you'd have great theme music.

And the music is more fitting to the theme of my masterpiece. I can't say Edith Bunker crooning away would get anybody 'in the mood.' But they did have a character named 'meathead'.

@Ned,DW..if you guys don't like the idea of Zadrk coming back with more orcs, I can edit.

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 3:37 pm

I have a couple of comments. Nothing too critical.

1. In the second to last paragraph, you mention entering 'the clearing'. I'm just curious if you referencing the same clearing Pharis is headed towards to lead the bulk of the hunting party to their slaughter at the hands of DW. If you are in the same clearing, it could be open fragging season.

2. I think you're doing an excellent job of playing off the other writers posts. It's flows well.

3. I like how the black orc leader is onto Pharis' disguise, but I find it odd he wouldn't have finished Pharis after smacking him to the ground for whining about the approaching wolves, especially if he's seeing through the ruse. On the flip side, I'm glad my character is still alive. I don't wanna be that person who shows up with the cool character to the PnP friday night allnighter only to be killed off in the first encounter and then whine all night about having to share his/her caffeinated beverages.

4. I had visions of Pharis and DW taking out the leader and bringing his gear to shilmista to have the markings examined. but that's not terribly important.

5. I think if the black orc gets away and returns with more black orcs, it will further delay the amount of time it will take to get to windhaven. Not that I mind the combat, however, it seems there are already a handful of people there and I don't want them to lose interest in the overall story waiting for us. Especially if a force is moving on windhaven, it would be nice if all were present in town for the battle even if some of us haven't met by the time the assault occurs. In fact, all of us as survivors of that assault would be an excellent way to bring us together.

6. How will Erudish react if Zadrk flees to get more black orcs to complete the job? Will he even allow Zadrk to try again or punish him permanently for his failure.

The Z · Post by **The Z** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 3:49 pm

1. He was reflecting on how he felt when he got close to the clearing Pharis was leading them to. I knew when I posted it that it was a little confusing so I'm thinking of a better way to get what I wanted to across.

2. Thank you, although I don't expect Zadrk to become a second character for me...at least not at the moment.

3/4/5/6. You know what? You're completely right. What I'll do is *SPOILER WARNING* edit so that he's going around the clearing to try and turn the tables on DW and Pharis. Instead of him running away, he'll send a messenger. That way you can a) kill him (so I don't have to commit myself to two characters after all

) b) keep all the combat in one encounter and, c) get to the elves quicker.

Cool Z,

When reflecting over my comments, I realized I had made a lot of them and didn't want to come off as pushy. Glad to know you found the comments constructive.

Anything else to cover regarding Zadrk onto the ruse of Pharis and then not doing anything when he could've. perhaps even a sentence or two second guessing himself for not finishing him off. Black orcs understand the concept of irony, no?
