The Elusive Cinder 1,328 July 30, 2014 Share July 30, 2014 Adrass was in the Market, he's just leaving now to find Whisper and the rest. He's also gotten hold of a flancy new coat and a hat, so he wouldn't be so easy to recognise... though it is an old Witch Hunters hat, so it's a pretty terrible disguise.

Torrent505 370 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 I'll post Clarke noticing Adrass approaching if you want, he's the only one that doesn't know Adrass is with the group and seeing what obivously look like a witch hunter approaching a bunch of witch protectors and a mage princess would set off some alarm bells in his head. Unless you had some other way or things you wanted Adrass to do on his walk over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 Nah that sounds like a good plan! I was just wondering about the sudden lull in posting, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent505 370 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 Eh, I think it happens sometimes when an RP tells it's players to do their own thing, especially when we're all gathering to head out... Like Helena went and did something very useful but now we need to wait for her to come back to leave. Things always seem smoother and quicker when there's a goal, destination or some action going on. :/ but yes it is too quiet. Lol watch my last post grow and grow as I try to create some interaction It doesn't help that Indicus is a quiet introspective type, quietly thinking to himself Shadow dancer has no real reason to post again, other to think some more since Indicus isn't interested in talking to the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Dancer 111 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 (edited) I post after everyone, if Indicus is given a command he follows it I really don't know how to make a good way for him to start breaking out of his shell in a fashion it makes sense any ideas? Saddly I have a habit of doing this to my characters at times. Eh, I think it happens sometimes when an RP tells it's players to do their own thing, especially when we're all gathering to head out...

Torrent505 370 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 Oh no it's not a problem to have a character like that, I meant no offense of course, I can't imagine it being easy to stick true to his character like when you want to be able to post so it's kudos for sticking to it.

Alex Kennedy 1,228 July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 That reminds me, the superhero(ish) RP that I've been working on for ages but never got around to setting up is going to happen soon. I say this mostly because I've talked to Squirlz about it a few times and now I feel sort of responsible for keeping her posted. So I might as well tell all of you. I might start it later tonight, but I'm not sure because right now I'm exhausted from work. Definitely sometime this week, though. So this is a thing now. Check it out, if you want. I should probably mention that I kind of suck at writing OPs for OOC threads. I know what I'm doing, though. I've been working on this for a while. @@RunsWithSquirlz, I'm pretty sure I said I'd tell you when I started my RP so there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 I love playing stupid characters. Well, Adrass isn't stupid per-say I guess, but it's obvious that one chap (who instantly surrendered when confronted no less) is probably not the world-endingly deadly threat that he's making him out to be. Hey, at least he's not likely to be taken be surprise! I love playing flawed characters - that's a better way of putting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent505 370 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 So Clarke is going to suggest a path to the group and you guys should all have an idea of just what he is purposing. He wants to to get the party to the southern most city on the map by sailing down the coast. The port he wants to travel to is Coppershine Harbor, the city on the right side of the map near Ashcreek Forest. The path he wants to travel is through Ashcreek Forest. So here what you need to know about those places. Coppershine is a place run by a crime lord with the nobles there already eating out of the palm of his hand. He supposedly manages this with a very strong drug trade. The crime lord is a Mage himself and rather paranoid so hunters and assassins are not usually tolerated unless they are on his pay roll and even then they are usually under heavy surveillance. The city is known for gambling and wild parties, think of it as a constant combination of New Orleans on Mardi Gras and Las Vegas. There are wild parties and parades every night and fortunes are won and lost everyday. Ashcreek Forest is know as a haunted place, it's paths are considered cursed the only Illians foolish enough to tread it's roads are outlaws and those too stupid to regard the centuries of disappearances in its woods. There are all sorts of legends of the monsters in the shadows of its branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elusive Cinder 1,328 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 Question: supposing its genuinely haunted, would ghosts and the like be considered magical? Guess the wider picture of what I'm asking is "is 'magical' magic and 'spiritual' magic different in this 'verse?" (Adrass will probably try and hit them with his sword anyway, just wondering for reference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent505 370 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 The Forest of Ashcreek is known in Illia as a dark and forbidding place, few dare to risk it's old paths and attempt passing through it. Truthfully many travelers have gone missing in it's overgrown boundaries over the last four hundred years. All types of myths circulate about the forest but the most prevalent are stories about an ancient abandoned town which the forest is named for; the town of Ashcreek said to be at the heart of the woods. Most of the myths about the town revolve around the birth of a monster in the town and it's slow descent into ruin. The monster is said to still roam the forest and to devour any that it meets. The other most common myths are of the ghosts in the forest. Those that have dared to travel the forest claim the most likely ghost to meet is that of a little girl, some say she leads lost parties out of the forest while others say she steals away one or two people from the group, leading them astray to meet their fate with the monster of Ashcreek, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekel 668 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 Helena: All the more reason to stay away from that place! In all honesty, the Ashcreek Forest actually does sound creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrent505 370 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 As for the question about Mage magic versus the supernatural, they are different in this world. There are a couple of types of magic. Mage magic comes from the gods themselves, but there are other types of magics that are even more unique that are passed down through the two ancient races that once battled the gods, they are known as the Malevians and the Valorans (this worlds versions of devils and angels). They tend to curse humans with double edged magic or give magic through tricks binding service or dark twisted deals. Supernatural magic or spiritual magic is even less proven as existing, ghosts are said to be completely unaffected by Mage magic or physical blows. Their magic cannot be sensed or measured in anyway, so on many levels it is uncertain if such things actually exist. There is never any evidence other than word of mouth and trusting ones own senses.

The Elusive Cinder 1,328 August 1, 2014 Share August 1, 2014 (edited) XD awesome - yeah, Adrass is going to have some fun with this. So sum up his concept of magic, it's all evil and will lead to evil things eventually, even if you intend to use it for good. No matter where it comes from, it's not natural, not safe and leads to treachery, madness and destruction. Though of course, those who actively using it to hurt folks are priority no.1. What Adrass thinks and what is true might be very different, but he has his own reasons for believing all of this on top of the whole indoctrination thing - he's fairly lenient in contrast to most if the order, but he's stubborn.

Sanctified Absence 126 August 3, 2014 Share August 3, 2014 So I'm not quite sure what the arrangement is in Andalasia for Magick and the education of such. Is there some sort of school or organisation that would fill in the role of what might be a now decaying Mages guild? If there is then Zaddion would've joined the "expedition," into Illia for a different primary reason. I imagine being wanted could change things drastically if others figured out.
