Zad

Hello everyone who is currently waiting for Elliquiy to accept or deny you. My name is Zad, and I'll be creating your game today.
Normally, when I'm new to something, I tend to stick somewhere safe, but with this I think I can cope. So here it is. Olduiin's Escapade.

Many years from now, the world will be different. Magic will be forgotten, swords will be relics. Dragons will be legends and humans will rule. Until that time, there is still one last threat, he reason all this was possible.
His name is Olduiin, a red dragon whose greed has overridden his entire life, attacking settlements just for a smattering of glittering prizes. It seems no one can stop this magical beast from destroying the world. But many try regardless.

The latest to try was name Gavinrad Kenaado, and was left alive to spread the horror of Olduiin's warning. He's an aged man now, and warns all except a few that they could not possibly stop the red dragon destroying the world. The ones that do not listen, however, quickly fall on their quest to Olduiin's lair.

Today marks the death of Gavinrad, and the entire village land mourns his death. Several people of mixed races decide, to remember the great man, that they will kill Olduiin and free the world of his tyranny. But the road is long, and the journey perilous.


Ok, now this was a D&D game I made a good three years ago, but never got to play. Hope it helps with our current predicament.

I'm up for it.  Strictly humans or are you allowing other races?
Keep pretending this is how it's supposed to be and smile pretty for the camera.

Zad

Just tell me what you had in mind, and we'll see what we can do. But keep in mind, your doing this for a human hero, so a race against humans, aka, demons, wouldn't be good

She is 5’5 with black hair that has natural blue highlights. Her eyes glow ultraviolet when angered but she angry almost all the time so her eyes just kind of stay that way.

“Ah finally a hot meal,” Mino-wa exclaimed to her long time traveling companion while tossing him a biscuit. Grave made an appreciative noise as he finished off his snack. Grave and Mino-wa have traveled together ever since she found him as a pup. Feeling kinship to the pup because, just like her, he was alone in the world. Now it was six years later and they were on their way to the biggest payday they of their lives. Sitting in moderately clean tavern with a full belly Mino-wa contemplated her next step in finding the Dragon’s lair.

Zad

Tsumi Okazaki

lol sorry. if you two werent ping ponging so fast i wouldnt have needed to make my own starting point  ;D XD lol i made it a simple stop over town so to speak. it will give me a post or two to fill in a little back story if you dont hop over me lol.

Zad

I didn't think forum posting was this fun, actually. I'll try and slow it down for you, ok?

Zad

Ok, Snow. This might turn into a fight, so here's the rules.
Don't assume you always hit me. You need to give Dinu a chance. I'm fair, and you should be too.
That's it, really

Tsumi Okazaki

fight fight fight! so what are the stakes here? o.o

Zad

Snow wrote a really good piece and a fight was avoided. I'm trying to think how Dinu would react to it, but I'll wait until you post before I do again.
Unless, it's ok

It's the capital city of humanity. And it's a fantasy game, so I'd say an army of humans,  a castle with a queen, farms outside the walls, shops withen the walls, etc

OR, to make it interesting, you and Tsumi could meet at Faust, and meet the other two later

We need to get to Faust, then we'll slow down. Just so the other two can join in on our antics

Tsumi Okazaki

The woman looked at Ellifain with a superior satisfaction. "Greetings Ellifain." The elven maiden spoke in a tone laced with that same satisfaction. "I'm glad you made it this far. The woods weren't to taxing on you, were they?" Her tone almost holding what sounded like genuine concern, but Ellifain wasn't fooled for a moment. She knew it had been Ilona that had put her in this situation and used her fathers position as an Elder to do it.

"Oh it was no big deal." Ellifain said, quickly regaining her composure. She would die long before she gave this harpy the satisfaction of besting her in anything. "I am surprised though. It isn't often our people let a lylthing wander outside the forest unaccompanied." she said in a friendly tone using the word for child in the elvish language. "Tell me, is everything well back home? I would think the council would be extremely busy if they over looked sending an escort with someone of your standings." Her following smile sweet and laced with honey, she watched as the barb sank in and Ilona struggled to control her own emotions at being called both a spoiled brat of a child and someone needlessly tucked in a corner while the adults talked.

"Tell me." Ellifain continued, unable to stand the woman's presence any longer. "What has brought you so far from home?"

Ilona's eyes pooled over as she regained her miniscule self control and she seemed to stretch up to her full hieght. With an air of self importance she said "The council has decided that you should start your search in Faust and arranged for you to have an audience with the queen herself."

Tilting her head slightly in acknowledgement she made to move past Ilona only to have the woman take a half step into her path. In an overblown tone she said "I hope your journey is a safe one." before adding in a hushed voice "The roads are so dangerous these days. There is no telling what would happen to a woman who doesn't take care."

Her right shoulder hiding her next action from the view of the man behind her, she drew her dagger and placed it tightly against the woman's throat and gripped her tunic to keep her from stepping back. "Perhaps i should show you." she spoke, in a tone of finality.
Using her grip on the woman's tunic to pull her closer, she pressed slightly on the blade forcing the woman to turn her back to her. Her left hand slipping around the woman's waist just after releasing her tunic she smiled once more and spoke in a voice too low for human ears to hear.

"I could slit your throat right here and now and convince everyone in town that you gave me little choice in the matter." A purposely heavy laugh pealed past her lips as she brought them close to the clearly frightened woman's ear. "Or i could do much much worse. I wonder, what would your skin feel like against mine?"

She felt the woman tense and swallow hard. She also felt the shiver that ran through her barely suppressed. Having accomplished what she wanted, she shoved the woman forward then made her way outside, her ears picking up the faintest sounds of laughter from Borgen as she left.

It was a fortnight to Faust but that wouldn't stop her from getting there by tomorrow morning at the latest. Nodding she set out to make good on that goal and missing it only by a scant few hours as she arrived just outside the city walls, taking in the neighboring farm lands as she waited for the gate to open for the day.

Tsumi Okazaki

oops
well ill post this then i have to go for a bit

Zad

alrighty then.
You and Snow have made this mistake... Who's next?

Tsumi Okazaki

why you are of course lol. ok i couldn't stay away for long. im on my phone. so even though i cant rp at the moment, i can still chat. im curious about any ideas or developments you have for this story. i forsee it being a long rp if we do it right. and it could continue on after we slay the dragon.

Zad

Yes, it could. I have a giant thing of text, but I think it's too much to put here on this board. I'm going to wait until we all get accepted (if we do) and then put up the countries, the leaders, and such.

But for now, here's a rundown

Mrtyu - Human
Irkalla - Human
Cassiel - Elf
Montalem - Wizard
Enfernos - Demons (Also here Olduiin is located)
Jiresh - Dark Elves
Jy'Obi - Orcs
Marshlands - None, but is one layer of land blocking access to Enfernos

Tsumi Okazaki

oooo i so should have picked a drow to play. i could so do the whole 'your pain amuses me' and 'webs within webs' routine.

Zad

Dark Elves in my world are a little different, which will be in the board if I get accepted. If not, keep this going if you do :)

Tsumi Okazaki

its a deal sweetie. and who knows, maybe denied members can still use the non adult section. and maybe they can have their application reviewed lol.

Zad

The only thing I think might make them think twice is I share this computer with my sister

Tsumi Okazaki

i kinda have an opinion on the acceptances here. i cant see someone turning away a perfectly good roleplayer who is a decent person so here is my opinion: maybe the whole ordeal is simply to test a person's interest in roleplay. i arrive at this conclusion based on this: If a site turned out decent roleplayers who were upstanding, then it would make bad publicity for the site since most roleplayers are known on more than one site. My second conclusion is that its an age thing. You can say your umpteen years old but the site staff have no real way to verify this. So they are forced to watch you. And your interactions with others show them all they can learn about you online. So they are able to gague both your ability to handle the site's true content and get a semi accurate view on your age if you have tried to cheat your way in. Now this is all hypothetical and, unless a staff chimes in and says yay or nay, i have no real way to prove it. The logic seems sound but there may also be a simplier reason. To make the site more prominent. Like an exclusive club, the unknown and the feel of membership are highly appealing.

Zad

Man, I'm screwed. I still act like a thirteen year old, and I'm 27. But it's why my fiance loves me

Tsumi Okazaki

lol your mature when it comes to it. look at me, i look like an addrenillen junkie pouncing random women. its just the excitement of a new place. sorry about the crapoy spelling and caps. my phone is ancient and doesnt take too well to directions

Tsumi Okazaki

Cracks her knuckles "Ok im back on my laptop. Time for some RP!"

Tsumi Okazaki

and posted. Dark why does your character remind me of a shade from the eragon books?

DarkNevaeh


Tsumi Okazaki

lol in the eragon stories, shades are people possessed by many spirits. they gain incredible strength and magical abilities and their hair and eyes turn red if i remember correctly. but they loose themselves amidst all the souls. ill have to reread the stories for specifics.

Tsumi Okazaki

posted. sorry was getting pelted by a munchkin with a bowl of cheerios for ammo. Btw i should probably mention that ive never played D&D.... well i played DDO but i already knew everything that was presented in that game.

lmao yes ellifain is not one for simple strife and leaves others to their own devices. If she interferes then it is best to take heed. she is not one for violence, prefering the calm observant approach to things but if someone gets in her face they arent walking away the victor.

It's good we are all having a blast :)

Lol considering you drove us bonkers with the waiting? Yes yes it is. When this gets moved to adult rp, I have a few ideas to bounce off of you. I'm thinking you will like them. Here's to hoping we get in the gate, eh?

Zad

Hmm... I have ideas too, but mainly to continue after Olduiin gets killed

Tsumi Okazaki

I was thinking of almost everything from party members getting kidnapped, to assassination attempts, to strange forces imposing themselves on the quest.

Zad

Yes, I have also thought about this.
Also, Olduiin is attacking Faust. We can't hurt him yet, so just stay alive.
I'll write posts about Olduiin and the Queen next post

Tsumi Okazaki

lol throw your worst. Ill live. Ive got a wizzer with me lmao

Zad

Well, we need SOME motivation other then treasurre. How about dead civillians?

Tsumi Okazaki

Well that works. Currently Ellifain is running on principle and worried about the artifact of Illia.

Kuval could go for details on what happened during his master's campaign.  Life whether or not he was betrayed

Zad

Ok, I'm thinking of a few things we could get dragger into before we get to Olduiin

1. The elves and the creatures of the marsh are waging war. We need to get past the Marshes
2. An insane wizard turns an entire village into stone, and they reanimate into golems.
3. A wounded dark elf near the body of an enslaved minotaur.
4. An abandoned cathedral in the middle of the forest. It is infested with something less then holy.
5. ORcs. Who doesn't like orcs

Four sounds a lot like the salvatore character tale for cadderly, the priest. And don't forget TROLLS!!!!
they are my favorites because you have to burn them and who doesnt like playing with fire?

Btw can we work in a couple of the Idea's I mentioned earlier?

Zad

Certainly, Tsumi. I'd love to do that.

Zad

I'm thinking one more Olduiin post, and then Dinu and Mino arrive at the farms outside the city walls

Tsumi Okazaki

Cool. Works for me. Ima try to make my way to the queen. After all, Ellifain needs to speak with her about the artifact. without that, my story hits a hard dead end lol.

Zad

Well, it's quite clear Mino-wa has never faced or even  learned about dragons before

Tsumi Okazaki

Yeah, we are about to rape this dragon. You better come out with some sweet ass storytelling skills or its going to get stabbed in the eye and snatched up by an elemental lmao

Zad

This dragon is a giant wyrm, with near inpenetrable hide, armoured scales and a very dangerous flame breath. Owning this drgon now would be difficult.
You might be able to hurt him, but YOU would need some mad story telling skills to do that.
As I have work soon, I'll post tonight.

Zad

Ok, Tsumi is on hold. What does that mean for this?

Zad

Hey guy and girls. I'm just putting this here in case I get denied. If that is the case, Snowangel gets the game, to do with it as she pleases.
But only if I get denied.

Question Mark

Just spent half an hour reading through the short lived drama of Zad (I especially loved the awesome post made by Trieste when he was denied).

In other words, I empathize with you Snow.

I have no interest in this RP, I just wanted to, I don't know, share my experience?  Sorry for bumping if this threa is meant to die.

Tsumi Okazaki

I will bring this thread back. Btw, What was the drama? I wasn't here and cant seem to find it.
